Ninja Ripper

What Ninja Ripper is

Ninja Ripper is Windows software that extracts 3D game assets for exploration in 3D editors. It can capture models, meshes, textures, and shaders, and supports batch extraction. The FAQ lists games using Vulkan, OpenGL, and DirectX versions 7 through 12; extracted rip files can be imported into Blender, 3ds Max, and Maya. Android games can be ripped through Nox, BlueStacks, MuMu, and LDPlayer emulators. Texture formats include JPG, BMP, PNG, HDR, and EXR. The download page identifies version 2.18 and lists enhanced DirectX 12 and OpenGL support. The utility is in beta, so some games may not work properly or at all, and animations, bones, and weights are not saved. Browser ripping is supported in Firefox, Pale Moon, and SeaMonkey, but not Chrome or Edge. The FAQ advises against using it with online games because anti-cheat systems may treat DLL embedding and hooks as cheating and ban an account. It continues working after a Patreon subscription ends, but new versions require a subscription.

Who it suits

Ninja Ripper may suit Windows users researching game geometry and assets in 3D editors. Its stated intended use includes examining game areas behind the camera, rather than piracy.

Limits

The utility is in beta, and some games may not work correctly or at all. Animations, bones, and weights are not saved; new versions require a subscription, although the installed utility keeps working after Patreon access ends.

Getting started

1. Open the Ninja Ripper website
2. Choose a download link through Patreon or Boosty
3. Install the Windows utility
4. Use a supported game, browser, or listed Android emulator
5. Extract assets in batch or individually
6. Import rip files into Blender, 3ds Max, or Maya

Verdict

Ninja Ripper offers broad listed API support and extraction for several asset types, but its beta status and missing animation data matter. Avoid online games, and note that new versions require a subscription.
