GameAssassin is a very powerful game model interception program, developed by sky from China in 2005. It was originally designed to assist its author in the research of 3D game rendering. It has similar functionality with 3D Ripper DX, but it is a lot more tricky to use. It supposedly can rip everything in D3D9, D3D8, D3D7 and OpenGL games, and is suitable for both game lovers and developers.

Noesis is a very powerful and easy to use universal game data unpacking tool, created and maintained by Rich Whitehouse. It is mainly used to preview, convert and extract/export (reverse engineer) all kinds of 3D resources/assets from PC and video games, and considered to be one of the must-have tools for making game MODs (Ninja Ripper is another).

To extract models from 3D games, in addition to the famous and popular Ninja Ripper, you can also give 3D Ripper DX a try. It can capture the models and textures of any DirectX based program and game during the running process, helping users extract their favorite models from the game for secondary creation.

3DCoat (AKA: 3D-Coat) is a digital sculpturing software (from Ukraine) that is specially designed for the art design work (i.e., details design) of game models. It not only integrates various real-time 3D model texture mapping and detail sculpture functions in one place, but also supports topology, volume sculpture, hardware rendering, and other important features. Moreover, it uses the normal mapping as window display technique, which greatly accelerates the speed to view and edit objects.
