Hi,
Do you know of any tools I can use to extract pictures from Quest for Glory 3 and re-import the to the game?
Also do you know if there are any tools to modify the game Ultima IX: Ascention or at least make minor changes, like picture editing ect.?(something like the Cataclysm Kit that was never published)
These should be able to open Quest for Glory 3 (not sure though):

I checked the site and it will indeed be able to open QG3 but not just yet, probably not that far off, as for ultima, I have no idea, I did a quick search, you may find some info here: http://reconstruction.voyd.net/index.php?page=projectype=engines
http://www.bripro.com/scistudio/index.php is the website for SCI Studio, where you can get the latest version which will open QG3 - I don't know where you found those www.hot.ee links but they're way out of date.
SCI Studio doesn't open QFG3 yet! It's being worked on now.
Those links are from my website (old one), and they're only tools I know that can open SCI VGA games. There's one more for editing SCI VGA views, but, but it's only available on Fileplanet and I really don't care to wait many hours for that.
Hmm my bad, sorry. I could swear I'd opened QG1VGA with it before.
One of the old SCI Graphic Studios could open the resource, but not edit any of it.
There are tools to open and edit SCI VGA resources, you just can't put them back into the game yet. Check out http://www.classicgaming.com/agisci/ (http://brian's%20Ultimate%20AGI&SCI%20site) and keep an eye on the site CJ mentioned. SCI VGA should be available within the next few months or so.
And because I'm a nice guy, HERE (http://www.juncmodule.com/downloads/SD.zip) are both of the programs you need to both view and edit the resources in one zip file.
have fun,
