Eye Iris Fix

Supposedly, at an early stage of development an eye model has been made with a tiny mistake: a vertex misplacement.

The problem is that this same model has been duplicated many times and appears several times in the game files across main (even Ciri), secondary and background characters, and even animals and monsters.

The misplaced vertex stretches the UV, and it is particularly noticeable in close shots on the face on a character, especially if a high-res eye texture mod is installed.

I wrote a Blender script that looped through all eye meshes of the game, detected the issue, fixed it, and rewrote the concerned w2meshes. The new w2meshes are theoretically identical to the vanilla ones, except for the re-positioned vertex. The mod just fixes the issue. No lod change, nor anything else.

This mod is now an open modders' resource. You are free to modify and use these assets in your own mod as long as you credit this modpage.
