(GameCube) Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes models .kmy and .mar animations (partially researched)

[DreamingOxxy]

If you thought my last post was about an old and uncared for game, here's another one! (With hopefully some responses this time, as this format has some research!)

MGS:TTS (gamecube, uses .kmy for models and .mar for animations) presumably uses model and animation formats (that I assume are) similar to MGS2 (ps2, uses .kms/.evm for models and .mar for animations), and that format was investigated enough that there's a Noesis plug-in for the original PS2 MGS2, and the PC MGS2. Since the formats have such similar names, and even some models are shared or leftover in MGS2, I'm sure the format reading could be modified to read the TTS models and maybe animations if it's not too difficult. There IS already a kmy2obj mesh tool, but only works on normal game models or maps, cutscene models are basically unreadable, leaving a mess of a mesh behind, and given the OBJ format, it has no skeleton, which isn't a huge issue at times, things can be rigged by hand, but cutscene models being unusable is a pretty big problem, given the low poly nature of the in-gameplay models, the quality wanted for use in other media isn't there, and not all models have a gameplay alternative.

Here is a link to the MGS2 Noesis reader: https://github.com/Jayveer/MGS-KMS-EVM-Noesis

And a link to the kmy2obj tool: https://github.com/gdkchan/kmy2obj

Both with source code available for research into the formats. I figure if the knowledge of both could be combined, perhaps TTS models and animations could be extracted, textures aren't a huge deal but I'll attach some incase someone wants to make a new tool for it, however Solidus for MGS2 can extract the texture bundles already. I've attached quite a few files for testing with, including a range of KMYs and MAR files, some from a stage, some from a cutscene, and some from what I assume is global or gameplay orientated.
