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
