How the data is made
The catalog data and 3D models are extracted from the game files using these open / public tools:
unp4k
Unpacks Star Citizen's Data.p4k archive and decodes the game's binary records into XML.
Cryengine-Converter (cgf-converter)
Converts CryEngine .cgf / .cga / .skin meshes into glTF, DAE and USD.
Blender
Used as a USD → glTF bridge for meshes the converter can't emit directly.
glTF-Transform
Processes, merges and optimizes the resulting GLB 3D models.
three.js · React Three Fiber
Renders the interactive 3D model previews in your browser.
Ship marketing data — official images, production status, dimensions and mass — comes from the public RSI Ship Matrix, and in-game ship prices from UEX. All trademarks belong to Cloud Imperium Games.
