I've ever though of other expressions for Lara in my adventures but as I dislike texturing outfits (still need to textujre my young outfit) I didn't want to realize it.
So having face variations for Lara could be really interesting. If you want to cope with that, Horus Goddess, you will be my goddess for sure But there should still be the problem of slots which are sometimes overused... I'm not sure if we need more transitions for expressions or keep the way the old Tomb Raider did (eg: just open and closed mouth for talking). Btw, I really like the green winter outfit, it has a strong "Raider" feeling... it reminds me a level from... damn I've forgotten it was called... Ancient Artifact by Max, such a great game in which I've first seen a Green shirt for Lara. Well, nevermind Last edited by Level NextGen; 19-05-12 at 13:17. |

I only have 33 names that start with NG in WadMerger...
And those all have special names, like the kayak, hydra, frogman, laser-head, etc. I really like the new green colourscheme btw! Last edited by Titak; 19-05-12 at 13:18. |

Will have to find it then.
Weird, I'm using 1.2.2.6 but WadMerger must not have been updated. |

Going to send you a PM.
So this thread can stay on the topic of HG's outfits. |

@MaskedRaider Ah, thanks for your insight! I think you're right about the mesh swaps... I had a wad with them in it but back then it wasn't working (was way before TREP or NGLE was around). I'll have to go through the downloads and find them. I imagine Lara's Levelbase has it somewhere. Maybe in the Lost Library wads. And yeah I'm kind of worried about making the open mouth expressions look convincing, too. lol Because like you said it could end up looking "caricature-like". :S But we'll see. @Titak and Lara's Boyfr. Thanks you two also for your insight as well. I think to be safe I'm going to start with them in the Lara headswaps. I imagine once I make a working set of expressions, builders can then move them to whatever slot they need them in. Last edited by Horus-Goddess; 19-05-12 at 19:20. |

The only problem is that for every different head mesh of an outfit, there should be a different set of mesh swaps. So your mesh swaps wont be compatibe (at least in the looks) to f.e. PoYus outfits.
It would be the same case, even for your older outfits |

Yeah, of course. That goes without saying. I'm not going to mess with modeling new heads for every different outfit type out there. If anything I will probably make heads for my Legend outfits and probably AOD. Also for the Anniversary and whatever else I use the similar head for currently or in the future. It would be as easy as copy pasting the faces to the different hairstyles more or less.
If someone wanted to edit PoYu's faces that would be their call, or perhaps he could even make some himself. |
