Hey, you are the only post I have found who has talked about the .trmtr files and what they do. Do you know if there is any way to edit them?
I am trying to specifically edit the shiny textures, but since the actual texture files are blank, if i edit them directly it would affect the nonshiny model as well.
I assume the shiny color values are in "pm00##_00_00_rare.trmtr" so I was hoping to edit them from there.

Thank you so much~

Oh, I have a tutorial that actually explains how to shade and color the Legends Arceus models, since they don't use the normal baked color diffuse, and instead use a method i call 'Color Assignment' to get the colors onto the model. Here's the link:

You'll have to manually color the model using the Color Assignment method, but it also gives you a lot of freedom in what other colors they can use, meaning they can not only use the normal colors, but any other color- meaning that a Hisuian Zorark can be green and blue instead of white and red.

I don't use the trmtr file, since i'm not a ripper or a coder, but the method i showed above works just as well, and even gives you full control over the colors.

Yes!! I have actually been watching and taking notes on your video because its super informative!
And I got the idea of recoloring the model, but after i have my "desired shiny texture" on blender, i don't really know what to do next. 
Would I export the colored 3D model? or the texture file as an image?

Because since the game uses the .trmtr files to separate between the regular and shiny versions, I would end up with both the "normal" and "shiny" versions looking the same if i directly change the texture image.

Like, my idea is for the normal models to have their regular colors. I am just trying to change the textures of their shiny versions.

Well, 'what to do next' really depends on you. and you can use blender to bake out the Color as a diffuse texture, so that you can have a shiny version of the model as a texture instead of using the color assignment- same with the regular colors. (and exporting the colored 3d model wouldn't work since blender nodes don't get carried over through FBX files, meaning you'd lose stuff, and would have to redo it all)

Yeah, baking the textures out would allow you to do that, bake out a diffuse with the shiny colors, and then again with the normal colors. alternatively, you could duplicate the nodes and then add in a mixRGB node that has the two color assignment nodes in it and make it a switch between the two- but that'd only work in blender, and on one model. And another alternative would be to just make a second material that has shiny colors while the other has regular colors.

There's multiple ways to do it.


The model is all the same. it's just one model, only the colors change, and i outlined several ways on how you could do it above, so it's all up to you and how you want to do it.
