Wow, that's amazing! I'd never thought that one day I'd see DE Lara modded into the PC version! Even if Lara will be the only thing you'll transfer into the PC version, I'll be eternally thankful since IMO DE Lara looks far better and more Lara-like than the first TR2013 Lara!

Is it only possible to convert meshes and textures or also new engine features like the physics effects on Lara's gear and the improved lighting and shadows of the DE?

How do you know that they planned to include that costume in the multiplayer?

It would have been great if you could have picked different outfits for the characters.

Yeah. They did say SSS is used. However it doesn't look like real SSS. Rise clearly has SSS. If you compare the games you will notice trde Lara looks like a tomato rise Lara does not and there is clear real SSS as you can see the light penetrations on Lara's skin changing the colour etc.

I can't comment on any physics enhancements which may be possible. Too much is unknown about the engine used unfortunately. It might be the simple case of adding new physics components sections but I don't know if that will work at this point in time. Since trde Lara's skeleton is the same as the PC skeleton I doubt the axe will react the same physically if I get the physics components imported. This is because there's extra bones in Lara's skeleton that influence the movement of Lara's gear etc.

I disclosed information about an unused outfit I found ages ago Samantha ceremonial is not a part of this specific project and is irrelevant to the conversion of definitive edition assets to PC. New findings mean if the PS4 ceremonial model is in the PS4 version then yes. The same technique can be used to bring that model over to the pc version. Alternatively, it should be possible to do a game code level patch to replace Samantha's current outfit I'm the multi-player with the ceremonial outfit. It should be possible to use Aman's biggie tools to inject a hex edited ceremonial Samantha mesh section over the current outfit.

Cheers.

Hey Ghostblade, Why don't you release this mod as it is until you complete it for us who are eagerly waiting for it?

Hey everyone! Apologies for the two month delay here, studies unfortunately got in the way of this project and I had to pause development but it is not cancelled.

I would like to confirm that the rig is now finalised. All skinning bugs around Lara's eyes/eye lids are now fixed. I will be transferring the new skeleton over to the rest of Lara's models and building a new version of the mod to do a quick play-through and map out any final texture/material bugs.

For now, enjoy some more screenshots I added to the OP.

Hi there, at this point in time I have no plans to release an early version of this mod. There's lots of bugs and to prevent confusion between which is the latest version etc. I'd rather just release the final, finished mod and not a half baked work in progress version.

Cheers.
