Q: Where do I download models

The Mega Archive linked all over the place and Here.
If you are struggling to find a warframe use the search function.

Q: The skin that I want to use is not in the archive

It will be inside the Warframe.blend, you just have to change skins
Before 4.1 there is a skin select custom property in the properties panel.
After 4.1 you select the skin by using the checkbox in the outliner.

Q: I cant extract the Warframe(Pruu).rar

Use a program like 7zip to extract it.

Q: The Warframe that I want to use is not in the archive

If it is a prime warframe you are looking for it will be in the normal warframes .blend.
If it is a skin or a warframe from some of the latest updates it might not be set up yet. (There are very few people who actually set stuff up.)

Q: I opened Warframe(Pruu).blend and it looks terrible

For Example:

Q: How do I change colours

To change the colours of your warframe you can either pick between the defaults for each frame or choose to use custom ones.

On new Pruu ports there is a dropdown that allows you to pick the colour set you would like.

Default colours will be 0-9 or more and custom will be -1.
To find the custom property you need to select the armature and then open the properties panel.

To change from defaults to custom change it to -1.

On some older models you will have to go into the shader to edit the colours yourself.

Q: How do I bake textures

The Baking Guide Has info on how to bake textures for the different shaders.

Q: Is certain Warframe ripped?

That depends, if you want the raw files, then yes most warframes are ripped/can be ripped and people will usually be happy to send you the raw files.
However if you mean Set Up, check the mega or the resource forum, if it is not there it is most probably not set up for blender.
