Did you know Lara Croft looks worse in Shadow of the Tomb Raider ? #shorts #laracroft #tombraider

looks like the money went into world design and tombs rather than player model

Her hair is so much more realistic in Rise

Still have a major crush on the TR 2013 model. Even though the graphics and character realism were upped in RoTR, the charm of the original model is still better

Rise is hands down the best of the reboots.

I don’t understand why they couldn’t make Lara’s hair act the same as it did in Rise compared to Shadow. I miss the overly flowy hair

I'm a Character Artist who worked on Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

It's the same model, and same textures.

What changed was the shaders and rendering.

I actually loved 2013's model a lot

Reason why you barely can see the pores is because they deleted the shinyness specular map that clearly shows the pores when light hits them a certain way. Currently the lights equally light everything up so Lara looks like a wax doll. In fact, she's not the only one suffering from the same issue. I've noticed that Jonah and a lot of characters in the game look like they're made out of wax and I think it's because they too are missing the pore specular maps, combined with most likely 2k textures that even further makes everything look blurry.

The actual pore depth map on Lara is still 4k, but I've noticed that they actually manually lowered its intensity compared to how it was before, which to be honest is a good thing since it was way too intense in some cutscenes in ROTR, looked like someone poked holes in Lara's face sometimes. But because they deleted how light should shine on the pores, the whole face looks flat.

Someone made a mod a while back on NexusMods that added the pores back on the PC version along with the original 4k textures that are the same as before and it's pretty much a night and day difference.

You know you've struck gold with a female character when she can be covered in dirt, grime, and blood, and still be sexy as hell.

They should've kept her look in 2013 😔

Rise had the best model and game outta the 3 in my opinion

[darkestfugue]

my favourite lara look was underworld, when they revamped her face for the 2013 version she looks good too, this is just not laras face, its too girl next doorish, lara croft is a fucking killer, if you get in her way there will be a bullet with your name on it, i cant stand that they turned her into an emotional mess with daddy issues, the best version of lara isnt even any of the games, its the 50 issue tomb raider comic book that came out in 1997, lara is her original badass character in that

[tianjohn.adventures]

From the Reboot Series, Rise of the TR has always been my favorite one...

[SolaireKnightus]

She looks like the best in 2013 while the others make her look older but she’s still pretty

[dylanmijer]

Tomb Raider Underworld is the best looking Lara Croft.

[Harryd]

Yeah detail in rise is better ❤ 2013 is my fav she’s beautiful and the gameplay is soo good in 2013. Not to mention for me it’s the most nostalgic.

[Fullbatteri]

The original reboot game had the best model period

[laurancestreet]

Love the detail in Lara’s hair in shadow when she uses mud camouflage, it’s just dope

[ChessKey]

It supposedly to be balance 😢 character details and world environment details too... Its broken my heart how developer dont focus on this balance things in game

I remember when that 2015 game came out and I was amazed at the fact that there was an option for hair physics. That game is what made me go out and build a better PC because I wanted to max that game out just to admire the detail of that character model. It was amazing. I still have a bunch of screenshots on my steam account from that game of just her face in game and cutscenes. The game does a really good job of showing you just how much she goes through with the dirt, blood and other debris that ends up on her face. Insane that it was 9 years ago.
