Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition PS4 / PC Asset Conversion by Gh0stBlade

After the recent GTA Online Data Mining discoveries, we received word today of Gh0stBlade's conversion progress with Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition PS4 to PC assets including models and textures using extraction / repacking tools with a bigfile injector.

This news comes following Playable Teaser PS4 Model Data Textures and Resources, FFXV Character Object Models and Fate / Extella: The Umbral Star work in progress.

To quote from his ongoing thread on TombRaiderForums.com: Hi Tomb Raider Fans,

I am delighted to inform you that upon acquiring the files for Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition (PS4), it has now come to my attention that converting some files to run under the PC engine is now possible.

This thread will detail my progress on importing Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition assets from PS4, to the PC engine.

Won't fix:

• Lara's standard hair materials are incorrectly lit. (Improved but not 100% perfect.)
• cine_v1_lara will not be Lara's Definitive Edition Model. This is due to a bug with the bigfile inject tools where injecting files into title.000.tiger isn't supported resulting in a crash.
• Only Lara's original outfit will be brought over, this is due to a bug with the bigfile inject tools where injecting files into DLC tiger archives isn't supported resulting in a crash.
• v4_lara incorrect bandage texture. (Removed, also not in Definitive Edition because the texture simply doesn't exist or the UVs weren't updated by the artists).

Fixed Bugs:

• v1_lara bad watch face texture.
• Bug where conversion tool would select incorrect bone to weight Lara's eyes to during weight transfer. Transfer is now 1:1
• Conversion tool has minor bug which results in one vertex not being weighted to the correct bone.
• Fixed bug in conversion tool related to vertex layouts.
• cine_v5_lara's bad eye lid texture now solved.
• Lara's meshes now how tessellation vertex attributed nulled (Definitive Edition Lara model does not have tessellation applied).
• Fixed bug where v2_lara's pistol hostler would be invisible during certain parts of the game.
• Fixed bug where v5_lara's standard hair meshes were incorrectly textured/rendered outside of Tress FX mode.
• Fixed bug where v4_lara wasn't correctly injecting into the Bigfile.
• Fixed bug where v5_lara's skeleton wasn't updated resulting in rare animation bugs.
• Fixed bug where the material for v2_lara/cine_v2_lara's watch was incorrect.
• Fixed bug where the material for v2_lara bandage was incorrect.
• Fixed bug where v4_lara's hand had the wrong texture applied.
• Fixed bugs where the bones around Lara's eyes weren't correctly updated resulting in severe derpy eye bugs.
