So... What exactly is a "Vraeus"? - Page 2

This is from the inventory:

Looks like a "V" to me.

Here's an in-game image:

I couldn't find a capital "U" to compare, but here's what must be a "V":

The amount of detail on the objects in the Classics is amazing (especially in TR4, I think). The Vraeus (or Uraeus, if you prefer

) object is so detailed in that screenshot, yet most people would never even notice it.

Interesting. Original had longer hair while everything else matches perfectly.

I thought that too when looking at rr's close-up screenshot. It's really quite impressive for something so fleeting

I was also attracted to the details in game items. Here's a thread showing all the ones that appear in Inventory:

Looks like most objects except keys are pretty detailed. The keys, on the other hand, look horrible. I wonder why the discrepancy? Did the object builder for TR4 hate keys or something?

Maybe if you shrank them down to the same scale as larger objects, they would look detailed.

The keys really do look bad compared to everything else.

Maybe. But IIRC, the key objects are fairly large even in-game - i.e. much larger than real keys would be - presumably so that they can be seen easily.

I guess you're right. I recall the Indra Key as more detailed. Here it is in Inventory:

Because I'm having trouble with my reload of TR3, the rotating image is repeated, but you can see the key itself on top.

I believe the Ganesha Key from Temple Ruins is even more detailed.
