Tomb Raider Anniversary Outfit by Trangel

This outfit is without a doubt the best outfit I have ever seen, on trsearch or otherwise. What is so noticeable ingame is how every single joint has been recreated by TRANGEL, resulting in the smoothest Lara you have ever seen. It is a wonderful experience to see Lara looknig so lifelike. She is not flawlessly beautiful like the Legend Lara, but she is real, tough, and ready for action. If you have not already downloaded, do and see for yourself. Originality: ...?... Well, after the bombard of anniversary and classic remakes we've had prior to and after the release of anniversary, it can hardly have full marks. However, the fact that so much of this creation is fresh and new means i can only justify one mark knocked off. Actually, with another look, so much is new that oh what the heck i'll give it a ten. 10 Quality: 10 If there was an 11 mark for quality, then this outfit would get it. Like i said before, it is the smoothest outfit ever. The abs have pretty much double the polys of the original, and the ankles i think have even more. Editing joints is superbly tricky, and you've just done it. All the work that has been put into this outfit - many hours each day it seems - is thoroughly evident here. Useability: 10 The question is, who wouldn't use this? It's the classic outfit, it can go anywhere. Textures: 10 Superbly taken and modified from anniversary, each flows into the next as if it has been wrapped rather than placed on individual tiles. The shoulders and arms are flawless, as are the legs, and those are the trickiest parts to do. The way the meshes have been constructed make this possible. If yuo have the outfit open in strpix as i have now, then look at the hair! It flows without flaw or kink. Also, the cheeks and jaw, where most outfits don't quite tessalate properly, are just so smooth! Meshes: 10 This is, for me, the highlight of this outfit. The hip / bum mesh is superb. As the creator said over at trforums "No more Core Design Butt". And there really isn't. I've said so much of this before, but the joints are excellently crafted. I'm starting to ramble here *looks at all he has written in faint horror* so i need to wrap up. All in all, this outfit is perfection. The creator has obviously looked at this outfit, and has never once slapped on a wonky texture and gone "Oh, it'll do." This outfit has been worked and reworked until the final result is true, raiding bliss. You deserve more credit than anybody could give you for this outfit TRANGEL, and I for one am very grateful for all the time you put in to it. It's really paid off. Yours, Nick

I was originally hesitant to download this mostly because we've been seeing SO MANY Anniversary remakes lately, but what the heck, I download everything. XD Besides, your enticing description of a smoother Lara had me wanting to take a peek. Originality: I must say that, the originality will be a tad lower in score since it is a remake and all. But still, because these textures are new from what I've seen here on TRSearch, I'll mark it as a nine. Quality: I will be honest with you and say, that the quality of the meshes could be better in my honest opinion. The increased points are fantastic, no complaints about making her smoother. But, her boobs ('scuse me for saying lol) look a bit... I dunno, "squished" I suppose. From a side view point I mean. As if she were wearing like a, corset or something of the sort. She could be wearing some crazy bra I suppose... but anyway. xD I think they could be a bit fuller. Straight on they look fine though. She also seems a bit too thin, like her ribcage isn't as proportionate with the rest of her, but that could just be me, I dunno. So I wouldn't take any points off for that. The textures, while lovely and cut very well, did seem a bit too harsh on the fronts of her upper legs. they didn't quite blend to the back of the legs as well as they could, but still it looks really nice! Good to see a Lara with more muscle definition. She should have crazy strong muscles you know? Overall I don't want you to get the wrong idea, I think this outfit is very well done! Just a few things I think could be improved. Other than that it looks superb. I'd say the best Anniversary remake here. Usability: This could be used virtually anywhere aside from winter levels I guess, but heck even the original TR had her running around in this in the winter so I would say it could be used anywhere. It's her official garb afterall. Custom Textures: Since they're from Anniversary I'd have to give a nine, but other than that they're very well cut for the most part and they look fantastic! I especially like that you captured the ribbing in her top, too. I was afraid the restraints of TRLE would cause too much detail to be lost since textures have to be so much smaller. Meshes: As said earlier, the chest is really the only thing I'd suggest improving. Other than that the rest looks very very well done! I especially loved the head meshes. They looked so much smoother and younger, too. And I loved the "SCREAM" headmesh too. the teeth detail was awesome. It totally looked like her from Anniversary. Animations? I didn't see any new animations. Overall, fantastic job! I'm glad to see someone devote so much time and energy into making such a beautiful Anniversary remake. I think you should definitely be proud of what you've accomplished! Definitely surpasses most if not all outfits here. You definitely have your own style. :) PS: sorry for rambling so much D: [i]Edited by Horus-Goddess[/i]
