Ripping PS2 Models...

I had someone on to help me do this a while ago but he's highly unreliable and has since.. I don't know... turned to drugs. He's gone anyway.

I want to start a project which is gonna involve some pretty heavy technical work and probably get me sued.

The idea is to take models from PS2 games, onto the PC and animate them into movies, a kind of extreme machinima.

The exact idea was to make a movie using the original PS2 Transformers game.

What I need to know is, does anyone know of any software that could do this? And any software that could load and animate these models?

it's probably way too much but, you know, I need to at least try.

Um..I think Google Sketch-Up might work, but you have to make the models, and yo can animat them. Also, Blender does very smooth graphic animation.

Here's a problem: Nothing about that is legal. For ripping models or sprites, you're going to need an emulator, and those tend to break international copyright laws.

I've never really cared for those laws.

Here's another problem: To be able to use them, yo're not only going to need the skillz necessary to rip the models, but also a fair amount of skill with animation. (And believe me, 3D animation is vastly more difficult than 2D)

Yeah, I don't have MUCH experience in 3D animation..

and I guessed none of it would be legal...

I mean i'm really not educated much on this at all. I have SOME techy know-how, and the willingness to learn. Just no start point...
