Pros (2021 version)

• Wide game compatibility – Supported many DX9–12 titles (e.g., Genshin Impact, Cyberpunk 2077, Resident Evil Village).
• Easy to use – Just inject the ripper DLL, press a hotkey, and it dumps models/textures.
• No deep 3D knowledge required – Unlike RenderDoc or NinjaRipper’s manual mode, the “Rip” button captures the current frame quickly.
• Vulkan support – Added in 2021, allowing ripping from Vulkan-based games like Red Dead Redemption 2.
• Animation/skeleton capture – Could capture bones and vertex weights for many games.

Ninja Ripper 2.0 (launched in 2021) is an experimental utility used to extract 3D geometry and textures from games using DirectX 11 or 12. Unlike older versions (1.7.1), Ninja Ripper 2.0 is often distributed via the developer's Patreon and requires a token for activation. 1.
