An authoring app for 3DMigoto mods for Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium that fully supports model edits and/or replacement. Pick a character, an enemy or a weapon, then replace, hide or retexture its meshes and build a standard, self-contained 3DMigoto mod folder that anyone with 3DMigoto can drop in.
The app reads the installed game's files to find every character, outfit, enemy and weapon, hands meshes to Blender for editing, and packs the results into the buffers, textures and mod.ini that make up a 3DMigoto mod. The game install itself is never modified.
New to the Lab? Start with the usage guide, a screenshot-led walkthrough from install to a working mod. The FAQ covers everything else.
The window has three steps, in order.
A searchable tree of everything found in the installed game, under Characters, Enemies and Weapons tabs. Weapons and outfits are grouped by their associated character.
Check the outfits you want to edit, or check a character to take all of theirs at once. Double-click a row to open it in Edit.
The workbench, for one outfit or weapon at a time.
- Replace a mesh. Open a part in Blender to edit just that part. The armature carries every usable bone, so weighting isn't limited to the bones the part started with. Open it with References to bring in the rest of the outfit around it on the same armature. Only the opened part is writable; everything else comes in as reference scenery. Click Send to Lab in Blender's sidebar and the edit lands back in the app.
- Hide a mesh. Delete a part's mesh in Blender and send it, or just hide it from the app. The built mod stops the game from drawing that part.
- Retexture. Drop a PNG onto a texture slot, or open the slot in an image editor and save. Base colour, normal and RMO maps are handled per submesh. Textures authored on a donor mesh in Blender's shader editor are picked up too.
Every edit is a plain file in the mod project folder and can be reverted one file at a time.
The change list is generated from the Edit pane: one row per Replace, Hide or Retexture. Uncheck a row to leave it out of this build.
Each row can be given a toggle key, and the whole mod can have one of its own. Build writes the mod folder plus a .zip for sharing.
Press the "Build" button, and the Lab will assemble a working 3DMigoto mod for you.
Install copies the built mod into the Mods\ folder beside the 3DMigoto loader set in Settings. It warns about already-installed copies before overwriting anything, and it never deletes a mod it didn't install. Launch starts the loader, waits for it, then starts the game. 3DMigoto has to hook the game as it starts, so the order matters.
- Windows 10 (22H2) or 11, x64.
- Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium, with game files downloaded (launched to main menu at least once).
- A GFL2-configured 3DMigoto loader, installed separately. Recommended: DollMI, this app's companion mod manager. Two third-party loaders are also validated: the 3Dmigoto Mod Loader on Nexus, and SSMT4.
- Blender, for mesh editing only. Any Blender 4.x or 5.x works, validated on 4.3 and 5.1.
- An SSD is heavily recommended for performance. Large mod projects may exceed 100MB each.
Download the release zip and extract it anywhere. Run Doll Remolding Lab.exe.
Set paths for GF2_Exilium.exe and Blender if they weren't auto-detected. Optional: set the 3DMigoto path to DollMI's or Nexus's 3DMigoto Loader.exe, or SSMT's per-game Run.exe.
On first run and after an update, there will be a short crawl on startup to gather character data.
Extract over the existing folder.
There is no separate addon to install. It will appear within the Blender windows opened by the app.
Opening a part launches Blender with the part already imported, on its own or with the rest of the outfit around it. The scene comes organized (Mod for what ships, Reference for scenery that never does), with all supported bones, and a Doll Remolding Lab panel in the sidebar carrying Check mesh and Send to Lab. Check mesh blocks a Send on problems that would break the mod and warns on likely mistakes. Send to Lab always exports with the right glTF settings, so the export dialog is never your problem.
A toggle key is set in the Build pane and written into the mod's mod.ini as a standard 3DMigoto key = binding. Modifiers are allowed (F6, CTRL SHIFT H).
- Toggles start ON. A freshly installed mod is fully visible, and a key press lasts until the game closes.
- Each keyed change picks its starting state and what its off state shows: the character's original part, or nothing.
- Two changes on the same key toggle together. The change list marks the shared key.
- F10 is 3DMigoto's own reload key: it reloads all installed mods without restarting the game.
- One mod per outfit at a time. Two mods that change the same meshes fight over the draw, and the app doesn't pick a winner. Install reports overlaps between mods it built, by folder name, so the choice is yours.
- Mods are built against the current game version. A game update that changes a character's meshes can break a built mod. Rebuild after an update.
- Not every part can be mesh-replaced. Faces refuse a Replace (they are driven by the game's expression system), and so do meshes that swing on the game's spring bones (charms and some weapon parts). The Edit pane says why on the part. Hide and Retexture still work on them.
- Texture slots other than base colour, normal and RMO are not emitted yet. An edit on one is reported at build time rather than silently dropped.
This game skins its characters before the GPU ever sees them, so ordinary 3DMigoto mesh replacement doesn't work: every draw arrives already posed, with no bones bound. The Lab recovers the live bone matrices from the posed vertices each frame and re-skins new geometry with them. PALETTE_RECOVERY_GUIDE.md explains the whole technique in game-agnostic terms, including what it takes to implement it on another game with the same wall.
