Cate Archer - Action by MrNiceGuy

This is absolutley perfect!! It is extremely like her.You have made perfect version of Cate Archer, super spy. Original: Although this outfit has been done a few times before, this deserves a high rating because nobody has made such a complete remake of it. Most Nolf suits are beased on Lara. This looks like you threw the old model out! WoW! Quality: A bug in MNGs outfits? No way! Not in a million years!! Mr NiceGuy is a bit of a perfectionist. Any bug in his outfit would be fixed in no time. Which is a brilliant quality in making outfits. Well done! Useable: Its not useable everywhere though because its a sixties style catsuit but still, it fits into military, high-tech, casual and many other types of levels so thats great. Custom textures: My god!! they are absolutley fantastic. They are small (always as plus), detailed (needed to make magnificent outfits like this) and are perfect Nolf textures! They are placed so well together to give cates face the same look it had in Nolf1 and her catsuit a very wrinkled look as if its actually being worn and not just painted on. fantasitc work. Custom Meshes: This is where the outfit really shines. It has perfect meshes and everything is just perfect. from the belt to the head and her white boots everything makes this look so much like Cate Archer. You'd forget you were playing Tomb Raider as this outfit brings players straight into Nolf. Playing th Nolf music and adding a petri.38 revolver would make you feel as if you were about to foil H.A.R.M's plans once again. Note: I also like how you used your 'new era' things to make this as it just adds to the rating and I like how you added her purple gloves on all hand/gun meshes. Wonderfull job, Mr.NiceGuy!!!

Absolutely brilliant. I am playing this game at the moment and this is such a good adaption of the original character. No, it's not the first time its been tried but this is like the real McCoy so Originality cannot be marked down. The whole character is of the highest quality using a complex texture set based on the original game textures. The custom meshwork really reproduces Cate Archer's character well. The model may not get much of a run as it is specific to a non TR Game. Hence useability is slightly limited although the outfit is in all other ways practical, but believe me trying to master the NOLF Editor is quite a handful and building a NOLF level in TR format is a much easier proposition. Hand me the exploding Kitty. :)

This is a wonderful outfit! Every little detail so carfuly placed, every mesh perfected and remaped. I can really understand what 20 hours of work on one outfit is like. I really respect the patience you have for creating outfits, and just how perfect you can get them. Original: There are 3 of this outfit, then 3 or 4 more of her other outfits. Forgive me, but I must downrate. Both for the fact that this is not a completly new idea and that others have >tryed (And failed)< to remake this outfit. Now don't get me wrong, this is by far the most outstanding remake of this outfit ever for the TRLE! Quality: I found a glitch!!!.... Heh, yeah right. :p Of course this has no glitches. The closest thing to having a glitch is when using both fog bulb and flare at the same time she has an odd bright spot where the eyes stop and the nose bridge is. Hardly anything at all, as most 3d faces go unusualy dark in color when using a flare. So this is really much better then any other to this day. Useable: I've seen a NOLF level being made, I belive it never got finished, but it shows that there is intrest. Seeing the outfit in game just makes me want to use it, even though it really doesnt fit into with the levels I am curently making. And that's saying alot because I don't think I've ever really wanted to use someone elses outfit in my own level. So for a NOLF level this is perfect, and you made this Cate archer probibly mainly for being used in a NOLF level. So in my opinion, this is completly perfect for a NOLF level, no better choice out there. Custom textures: I like the fact that the clothes look worn in, and actualy wearable. Rather than those outfit's Lara wears that you have no idea how it's possible to fit into. The front and the back of the chest mesh's textures were very good. I wasnt as impressed with the placing of the textures on the sides, but the fact the the textures are just so details makes you forget all about that tiny thing. The skin textures are very good, I've been working on a face for a week so I can get the textures to look like a real person, so I know the long process this can be. Not only did you do it to the face but also the skin that is somewhat revealed on the chest mesh as well. Again I'd like to take a close look at the head mesh, at first you think the eyes are awesome textures but then you see they are 3D! I'd always been very impressed by 3D eyes on characters for the TRLE, and this is by far the best. The fact that the eyes blend so well and so smooth... it's just... wow! She's just so realistic, I love it! The hair textures are also great and well placed. Only thing to suggest: I saw maybe 3 textures that could have been edited to match the texture next to it better (But who am I kidding? 3 textures?! Pah, never mind.) I think making the holsters white would have been cute, and it would match the belt it's hanging off of. Also maybe adding some shade to the boots or making them shiny, but it's still remarkable even so. Over all it's the best texture job I've ever seen! :D Custom meshes: Ok something I notcied and totaly love is the fact that Cate's "size" is normal. Her stomach is not so skiny she looks like she's just going to drop dead or break when bending! She looks more like a real woman now. lol. And unlike the attempts by other outfit creators, she looks real as opposed to looking over wieght somehow. The belt mesh was very cool, one of the very first things I noticed. lol. The head mesh is by far the best one ever built for the LE (The best one that works and looks good, too!). The chest mesh is equaly good as is every single mesh on this entire outfit. Oh and the hair, I love the big 60s hair!!! :D (I think I already said that...) --- So, in conclusion, this is by far the best outfit you will ever come across to this day. A true inspiration to all. Congratulations and a big "Whoa!!!!!" to you for making such an incedible outfit!! :D :D :D

Ow, this outfit is just amazing! Original: Terio has made about 5 NOLF outfits, so its not original. Quality: No bugs :D All textures and meshes are perfect! :D Useable: It works well in NOLF levels !:D Textures: I loved the textures, high quality! the torso textures are really cool, and the face is amazing! Meshes: I liked all meshes, but I MUST say that the head mesh is the best head mesh I´ve ever saw!!! almost 500 poligons of pure quality! :D Nice work MNG!

Original: Never thought that someone will do a NOLF outfit with the original meshes. GREAT! Full Score. Quality: No bugs, no holes, no bad placed textures. It's perfect! Full Score again! Useable: Well, you can use it in every type of level. But Cate is so famous that she would look bad placed in a standard Tomb Raider level. 9 of 10 points. Custom Textures: Such perfect textures! Full Score! Custom meshes: You`ve spent so much time with the meshes and they look great!!! Full Score! That`s a really realsitic NOLF outfit. Very very well done! I love it!!!
