I'm managed to extract the models of the game, converted the textures and reput everything in maya (3D modeling/animation program)
here is the result
animation starts at 01:51
The animation is rendered in Maya
The showcase in the beginning was made on Lumion
I use these programs in my work in an architecture agency, I studied computer graphics in France (Supinfo'Graph school) that's why It was relatively easy for me to try this.
These models are the characters and vehicles of the Planetside 2 game made by SOE
here is the link to Colin's video, he explain how to use his program to extract the models:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkJuEbv_viEThis program can extract the game files into .obj files (models) and .dds files (textures), you can import .obj files in any 3D program, you have to convert the .dds files into .png or .jpeg to be able to use it.
The rig is not exported with the model, so you have to redo the rigging and skinning.
This is very long but It allows some crazy possibilities for videomaking!
Hope SOE will forgive me, I just love their game.

Here are an example of what I use Lumion for normally, it's an old work:
