Sorry, I'd like to help but I don't really know a thing about all that and Jonathan probably doesn't want to put any more time into this whole project than he already has at this point. While it's not exactly what you're looking for, I strongly recommend to try and render these models in fullbright with cel shading on top (you can check the pinned guide in my profile, if you're curious about that), as they don't pair with SFM lighting very well anyway.

Hello! At the risk of necroposting, I'd like to ask a question regarding the normals on this model's face. There's some artifacting around her lips and eyes that I was trying to fix, but considering I was decomping the model with crowbar, bringing it into blender to fix, and then trying to compile it with a generated qc, I've been running into issues.

If it's not too much trouble, could I request for either A) you give it a look over and clean it up with your blender source files, or B) you could share them so I can see how you had the qc set up?

Oh crap, I forgot to include the strange journey model in the previews. To all of you SMT: Strange Journey fans - don't worry, it's there.
