Fan Art - 3D Models etc

[BlindBil]

Hi there, I'm a 3D Hobbyist and love to do stills and animations based on games sometimes. Given how addicted I am to this delightful game I'd love to make a start on ED. I've been attempting to google for information on extracting 3d models from the game and converting them into standard formats (.max, .obj, whatever) but have yet to find anything so I figured I'd post on here and see if any of you fine people have info on the subject.

I've seen some informational models on some station ideas that were really fantastic (I'll try to find said link). Other than ships I have seem nothing of the such. I'm sure a lot of these Cmdrs would love to see some of the art you could create, including myself.

I'm sorry--not entirely on topic, but somewhat related.

On a couple of occasions, I've tried Googling for a comparison between the ships in the original Elite and in Elite Dangerous, but not found anything. Has anyone come across a side-by-side screenshot type comparison of the way the various ships looked in the original vs. how they are modelled now?

Thanks for the reply Arktac13, yeah I think I've come accross them before.

What I was hoping for was some sort of tool and/or method for converting game assets. I have such tools for Planetside 2, Eve Online and a few other games. Im guessing, as yet, one hasn't been made for ED.
