Blacksmith

Blacksmith is a tool for viewing, extracting, and converting textures, 3D models, and sounds from Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, Assassin's Creed: Origins, Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, and Steep.

Note 1: Blacksmith is NOT a repacker. It CANNOT MODIFY, INJECT, NOR REPLACE files.

Note 2: Blacksmith supports ALL VERSIONS (past and latest) of each game

Note 3: I DO NOT CONDONE PIRACY. The program assumes that you have access to the games' files.

➡ Update regarding the repo ⬅

I will no longer be updating the repo with the source code of 1.7 and later. Access to the source code is now a donation perk. I have migrated away from GitHub due to the amount of effort and time I have put into development. Sorry guys.

However, the readme, changelog, and Releases page will still be updated. The repo will stay online and will not be deleted.

You can learn more about donating here.

Remember ARchive_neXt?

Blacksmith tries to serve as a successor to ARchive_neXt, since development has seemingly ceased, and it does not support the two latest Assassin's Creed games nor Steep. I designed the functionality of Blacksmith to be identical to that of ARchive_neXt.
