Using AssetsBrowser


Miscs Select CABMap you built earlier from list (check in console windows and make sure it said Loaded cabmap name)
Miscs  -> Asset Browser -> Load AssetMap and pick the AssetMap you create in previous step it ends with .map extension
Find asset you need by searching with its name or type for example under Name Elysia under Type Animator
Click on Arrow icon and Select the Assets you want to load


now you can press Load Selected to load files in GUI and let you browse and pick what to extract


or Use Export Selected which will export assets without loading them into GUI (this generaly use less Ram compared to loading assets option) if you are exporting types thats not models (Animators/GameObject) under Options uncheck Resolve Dependencies otherwise it would take long time loading all other files

Some models are GameObject (GI npcs for example ) those wont be included in Assetmap by default if you need them you need to go to Options->Export Options uncheck MinimalMap before building assetmap

Extracting Models using CLI


first build CABMap using .\AssetStudioCLI.exe input output --map_op CABMap --map_name bh3_cliCabMap --game GAME_NAME
extract using .\AssetStudioCLI.exe input output --map_op Load --map_name bh3_cliCabMap --models --game GAME_NAME


with extracting models you can pass name or containers filter , also better to use --group_assets option


it might be slow


CLI


you can use asset studio cli to export stuff easier open powershell/cmd in same folder where studio installed
do  .\AssetStudioCLI.exe --help to see what you can do  few examples
Building AssetMap would be something like \AssetStudioCLI.exe "input folder" "output folder" --game GAME_NAME --map_op AssetMap --map_type MessagePack --map_name assets_map replace GAME_NAME with your actual game name
extracting all textures .\AssetStudioCLI.exe "input folder" "output folder" --types Texture2d --game GAME_NAME 


can also use --names to filter what you want to extract it accept  any regex


extracting models with cli would be something like .\AssetStudioCLI.exe "input folder" "output folder" --game GAME_NAME --map_op Load --types Animator --names ^Avatar --map_name assets_map replace assets_map with whatever name you picked when building assetmap this would extract any model that start with Avatar
