Old-Gen Lara for Next-Gen

HenryCST · 04-02-23, 06:38

Hello! I wanted to show a mod i made recently that makes Old-Gen Lara playable in Next-Gen graphics.
No, this isn't a texture mod, it's an actual model. It was achieved by making the .drm file "lara_altd" playable in the default Legend outfit slot, only thing i did was change the texture of her clothes.

Originally, this model is the PSP exclusive that is never used in the PC port, but present in the game files.
Pretty much like the unused ripped evening dress with dragon prints, the difference being that THAT outfit is actually playable even though it is unused.

Very cool, very accurate work

I will add it to my favourites......
I actually made something similar but I couldn't get the perfect hair details....
But at least the mod contains all the features of the Next Gen and replaces all Lara's outfits ......

True, your mod is more complete. Mine was more of a test to see if it the model swap would work, i ended up liking it so much i had to publish it haha

Hey Henry, I saw you posting about this on Twitter and loved it. I think it's a great mod to have because I always thought Lara's next-gen model looked a bit weird lol, thanks for making this!

I really like the mod but I was wondering, does it have the pixelated hair too or is that not present in the ng version?

It's still present, that has to do with the (lack of) mipmaps on her hair texture.

It looks absolutely gorgeous
I hope you can correct some technical errors in the game as well
