Extracting the Backing Menu Images

I've had a lot of conversations with people on different forums about how much we love the menu character backgrounds. We've talked about how we'd love to get them for wallpapers so I tried my hand using Special K and this is what I've found. I need some help.

Every part of the menu UI you're seeing, including the images, is broken down into Shader categories: pixel, vertex, and one more I can't remember. https://i.imgur.com/LbH6is5.jpg

I discovered this when I had the thought "Well what if I just hide the UI?" Hiding the UI in the menu did just that, BUT also hid the images, including the background, leaving me with absolutely nothing except...space: https://i.imgur.com/kS2v3se.jpg

Which means that those parts are counted as UI/HUD elements. I could have maybe put this together when I saw earlier that the script for hiding the minimap was all about shaders, but I digress.

Anyway, using a Special K I was able to view all these parts, but discovered that each background, while looking like a singular piece, is actually broken down into several pieces and layered ontop of each other making extracting the images...a pain for someone like myself with limited knowledge/experience in these matters. Example: In the first imgur link I provided, you can see the law+rinwell preview. In the Alphen + Shionne one, each character is actually a seperate file. yay variation.

Hopefully what I've discovered can spark a lightbulb moment for someone more qualified than me to see if getting them is even possible.

Have a nice day friends!
