Hey Guys,
LEGO is playing that old OGEL trick again. (OGEL > LEGO, FIN > NIF)
Me and The2Banned2One have been hard at work decoding some of these files. FIN files are actually renamed and slightly modified NIF (Net Immerse File Format) files, which are fairly well documented, however it is a version 7.0 which is not used in any other games as far as I know. There are also some Digital Domain specific blocks in the file (e. g. DDUnit, DDActorSharedData). Once we figure out how to fix these bad boys, they can be loaded into 3DSMax, Blender, and Maya as there are already a set of plugins for NIF format since they have been used in many other games. (e. g. LU, The Elder Scrolls, ect) I'll let you know how this develops.
