Vulkan Ripper -

VulkanRipper

is an experimental utility designed to extract (or "rip") 3D geometry and textures from applications running on the Vulkan API. It has become a popular tool for the modding and preservation communities, particularly for capturing assets from high-end emulators like RPCS3 (PlayStation 3), Yuzu , and Ryujinx. Core Functionality

From an implementation standpoint, a minimal Vulkan Ripper uses the Vulkan Layer framework ( VK_LAYER ). It chains itself via VK_LOADER_LAYER_ENABLE , then overrides dispatch table entries for relevant functions. The actual "ripping" happens inside vkQueuePresentKHR or after a fence completes, where the layer scans GPU-visible buffers copied to host memory and exports them.

  1. Hook vkCreateGraphicsPipelines:

: Users typically use it to rip 1:1 scale models of vehicles, enemies, or environments. Usage and Workflow
