Basic Black by C/y

amazing, I just loved this one! its really original! but the green cammo has already been used in many outfits no bugs on it, everything works great! this outfit can be used in many levels, but artics levels, and Egyptian levels the textures are amazing, perfect, I loved the cammo, its really good! the eyes are really good too the meshes are great, the torso is really great! good job! but I didnt like the hair, it makes the outfit doesnt look Lara

>Before I reveiw this outfit, I think it is important to credit the people who made the meshs you used in the discription.< People will think you made the mesh when it was really someones else's work. If someone else wants to use that mesh they may credit the wrong person because they did'nt know who really made the mesh. I think it should be a rule if it is'nt all ready that you must put credits in the discription. Anyway, I'd like to state the credits here, I hope ne one minds, but I think it's important becuase people just don't read the readme's anymore. It's too bad though. -The pants textures were by Horus, and the spike belt looked a ton like the belt Horus made, yet he was not credited? -The chest mesh was made by me some time ago (C/y repaired the hole in the back before adding it to the outfit). -Hand joints by Mr Nice Guy. -Hands and guns by Deskj. And one other texture looked formiluar of someone else's outfit, but I'm giving the benifit of the doubt that you made it. ;) I'm sorry half of this reveiw is of the credits, but I really think people should know sence all you made was the head and legs. (They were very cool meshs that you made c/y! :) ) Ok, now to the outfit! :D The head mesh was awesome! A little messy but really cool. It looks a tad bit lop sided but it's done in a good way. The face looks young and pitet. The hands were cool, I liked the fact that she did'nt have gloves on, I found it very pretty that her hand were just her skin. The boots are cool, and so are the textures. They look formiluar? The textures for the pants (by horus) are good, horus used them as a shorts on his outfit, I think the textures look better as pants on this outfit. The belt is cool, but it really dose look like Horus' belt from the same outfit that the pants textures came from. The pants mesh near the boot is really cool, it looks better then just being all flat. The textures for the shirt is cool, I like the style for that. The black for the shirt is a little bit basic, but the blue even's it out a little bit. I also enjoyed the way that the blue shirt peeks out from under the black jacket. The over all style is cool, I like this outfit, you're geting really good at makeing outfits c/y! :) Though I'm kind of surprised that you stoped makeing your own meshs for this outfit and the other basic outfit before this. My favorite outfit is your Basic Grey and this one. But I am a bit corious why you did'nt credit in the discrption, I'm sorry, it just seems odd to me. :) The outfit is very well done, quality is high becuase of good meshs and textures. The over all style is very nicely done, and it has it's own good theme. It reminds me of only two other outfits on the site, and there are 500 something outfit on the Search Engine, so this has got to have a pretty good originality! Maybe not a 10 becuase of the meshs, but the idea gives it a high rating. It's useable in Jungels, citys, temples, even maybe a slightly sic-fi level. But not for Egypt so much, or water levels, and probibly not a base level. I'm not sure about home levels, it doesnt look very comfortible so I don't think she would wear it at home. I'm not sure how to rate the meshs, but out of the ones you made, witch were very good, I gave custom meshs an 8. (I think the head was really cool!) I love this outfit, it's very original, and really cool. I'm sure it'll be used in a level. And I'm not mad at not crediting some things in the readMe that you missed, or not puting them in the discription, I'm sure all the owners of the things you used are flaterd that you liked them enough to use them! Very cool. :D Awesome job, I can't wait to see more from your 'Basic' line!!! :D :D :D ~Trin [i]Edited by Trinity[/i]

There was an included Readme where the credits were, Trinity, but I'm glad you pointed it out. However, you were wrong about one thing, that being the gun animations. They were made by me, but deskj took them without crediting me, therefore everybody thinks they're his now! The only thing he changed was the pistol animation and textures, but the meshes of those are still mine. I'd like everybody to know that they are mine, since I spent quite an amount of time making them joint compatible, and fixing bugs like the "weapon-on-back" meshes. To see the original ones, check my Peach outfit. Well, with that said, over to the outfit! What I first noticed about the outfit was the weird hand connection, which looks awful. Use my joint from the Peach outfit or any of my AoD outfits to fix this. I think it's a well used idea, with the cammo pants and black top, but C/y has enough variation in it to keep it interesting. The meshes were usually taken by others (and the torso was fixed from an earlier version), but the ones C/y made looks pretty good, especially the cool hairstyle! The textures you made were a bit plain (being the torso area and boots mostly), but they work well enough with the more detailed textures, making it a "Basic" outfit in many terms! I found a single misplaced texture on the right hip joint, and it sticks out quite a bit, so that's a lower in quality. The useability for the outfit is great, it fits well into most environment, though it may be a bit too hot for tombs. Still, being a versatile outfit, it gets a 10 in useability!

I really don't see the point in writing such long reviews, cuz I always skip reading those unless they're the onl review available. Meshes and textures are great! A great casual outfit, though I've never been a big fan of casual outfits. Works well in city levels. (though whenever I build a level, I like to use laras original hair, it just doesn't feel right getting rid of her ponytail) Good job, keep up the good work. Though it's not really [i]that[/i] original. Classic outfits similar to this one have been done before. Still good though.

9 to originality, because it's a casual, but looks different to the others. 10 for quality, because it has no bugs, the textures were good and the meshes, too. 8 for usability, because her head and the style doesn't look like normal Lara. I havn't seen much Levels with short hair Lara, so I gave a 8 for usability 10 for textures, because they were well rotated and detailed, I really like the shirt, that comes out from her black jacket. She reminds me of my best friend, she always weares such a black jacket :) 10 for meshes, because they had no holes and were well shaped. HEr head was new and looked wonderful! Another big plus was, that the blue shirt was in 3d.
