Default Blue boat

Hello there, does someone know about the blue boat of TR3 beta?
I'm looking for screens and maybe a wad with it

Unfortunately, due to the obscurity of this particular section, there's not a lot of useful reference material out there. This has to be one of the clearest looking screenshots of the boat I'm aware of:


Taken from magazine PC Accelerator September 1998

There's also this short clip, which I used in my E3 compilation video:



@8:20

The official boat object itself is not publicly available as of yet. It may very well have been recreated by fans by now, but I'm not sure.

That screenshot of the boat is pretty clean! Should be possible to recreate the boat quite faithfully thanks to it

Yes, I know, but I wanted to be sure it was similar to the original
Btw I would like to make another version of it.

I though you had it just right, even with nice wing mirrors

The video footage makes it difficult to see the back correctly, It is either like yours with a bullet proof wall at the back to protect lara, just like James Bond cars, which looks real good



or it could be a open Aerofoil style, like this...



As you say, you need better photos of the boat, but I like the James Bond style best, as long as she ducks under the window at the back when the bullets fly

I believe it was removed when the kayak was added. There are some screenshots of the big waterfall area of madubu gorge where you can see it docked.

If anyone is able to extract it from a beta version of the game, I too would like a copy. Of any and all beta objects that arent in the final game .tr2 files actually.

There aren't any known beta versions of TR3. The closest we got to a beta version is the ECTS PS1 demo acquired by GhostBlade, which contains some earlier/unfinished versions of certain levels, but he hasn't released it to the public and there is no word yet if it contains any South Pacific levels and/or the blue boat object.

Really crappy quality, but I managed to slow the video down and grab a side shot of the boat - as you can see, the wind breaker thingy on the back (whatever it is called IDK) is thin..
Its essentially a blue version of the TR2 venice boat from the looks of it?

Nice shot! Despite the bad quality, but that's nothing we can help. It is the Venice boat indeed, just with a more spiky front and the tail fin thingy added. It actually looks really cool, way cooler than the kayak, so it's even more of a shame it was deleted.
