Origin 3D Archive Collection Fully Indexed in WCPedia (April 5, 2023)

[ChrisReid]

The CIC archives include a massive trove of source models for nearly 600 ships and objects from the Wing Commander games made between 1991 and 1996. But up until this point, they've all been in one big package that could be a little daunting to explore. Fortunately, LOAF has recently taken the time to break them all out and discretely list each one in the WCPedia. Now you can easily tell that "DBRIG.3DS" are Rigakh Debris, "CLUNKER.3DS" is the trusty Tarsus and "STARS.3DS" is the TCS Lexington's launch tube animation. It's a great starting off point to get acquainted with some of Origin's most iconic model files! Check out the new WC3D Index here!

The WC3D Collection is an archive of largely Wing Commander-related 3D models and textures copied from a hard drive at Origin Systems by John Guentzel in late 1998. The collection includes 585 models and scenes from Wing Commander II, Wing Commander Privateer, Super Wing Commander, Wing Commander IV and Crusader: No Remorse. There are also several-one off models from other projects and several that have not been identified. There are a total of 3,832 files. The full archive with unaltered files and time stamps is available here (271M).
