You aren’t limited to one pose. You can rotate the camera in-game, press the rip key, and generate a sequence of .rip files. This is invaluable for capturing character animations or environment sections piece-by-piece.
Ninja Ripper 2.0.6 exports .obj files, but they are often broken into hundreds of separate meshes. Here’s how to handle them: A complete pipeline using Ninja Ripper 2
Pro tip: For models ripped in T-pose, you may need to use Blender’s Armature modifier or manually rotate vertex groups.
Let’s rip a character model from a modern single-player game (e.g., Cyberpunk 2077 or Genshin Impact's private server).

Ninja Ripper is an intermediate library injector. In simple terms, it inserts itself between a game’s rendering engine and your graphics card. When the game tells the GPU to "draw a mesh," Ninja Ripper intercepts that command, copies the vertex and index buffer data, and saves it to your hard drive as a standard 3D file format (such as .obj, .fbx, or .rip).
Version 2.0.6 represents a significant milestone in the tool’s evolution. Unlike earlier versions that struggled with modern shaders or crashed on multi-threaded rendering, 2.0.6 introduced:
