I'd like to ask your advice. Based on your notes of your Aviators for Lara mod, you wrote that you looked at the EzioMaverick glasses in blender. How did you manage to load them into blender ?According to the SOTTR Modding Tools documentation, you need a file like .tr11objectref. Ezio doesn't have them. only model and model data files. I would really appreciate it if you could teach me how to do that. My goal is to slightly modify the mesh of the shirt from the Classic Lara Outfit mod.
Ah yes. You need the DRM folder for the model the mod is replacing. So if you wanted to do the same thing with my mod here you would grab paperdoll_piece_tr11_lara_tactical_head.drm (because my mod here modifies the head model).
Then take the two files included with my mod (the tr11model and tr11modeldata file) and drop them into the model subfolder of the drm folder and overwrite the two that are already there for the head model. Now you can import the tr11obectref file using the sottr import addon in blender and it will pull in the head model with the sunglasses on it.
There's one last step though, if you do only this then the sunglasses will be missing textures. To get them you will need to go to paperdoll_piece_abby_dlc_top.drm and get the textures for the sunglasses and drop them into the textuure/material folders of the paperdoll_piece_tr11_lara_tactical_head.drm folder (when you drop a mod into the mod manager it does this for you but the sottr blender addon will not). To figure out exactly which textures you need to get you can use the binary templates to look at the tr11modeldata and tr11model files and see which textures they reference (i forget which one honestly). The ones you need to get from the abby folder will be whichever ones are referenced by those files that aren't imported into blender.
It's a little complicated but spend some time with it and it ends up not being so bad.
Edit: I forgot to mention you will want to use the extractor program to extract those drm folders if you hadn't already or didn't know about that.
