I just wanted to provide a quick update on my current situation and whats going on with upcoming releases. In a previous post I stated that I had a project or two that I wanted out before the end of the year, however my PC decided to have an expensive hardware malfunction on Sunday. As they say, it's the most wonderful time of the year!
Fortunately in terms of data, everything is fine so I thankfully nothing (as far as we can tell) has been lost - and coincidentally I decided to do backup of all my assets mid-last week as it had been a while since I have done so. Perhaps I jinxed myself! All things considered this isn't too dramatic but I did want to provide an update because at this point I'm not sure if I will be able to get the projects I had planned out by end of year. My PC should be returned in the next few days and I imagine it will take a few more days to get everything back to normal - I'm exhausted at the thought of reinstalling everything already!
Of course I don't expect any massive delays, but I did want to provide an update to set expectations in case I don't have anything released by 2025. Annoyingly enough, I was just about to unveil a video of what I was going to be releasing, but I will hold off on announcing them until they can be properly showcased. However, what I will say is that it relates to Resident Evil 4 and involves Ashley and Ada.
My apologies for this, I understand that this is frustrating all the way around. I hope everyone is enjoying the time of the year and taking some much needed R&R.

Well, this was an unexpected project I started! As stated in a previous post, I have been wanting to get more into Unreal Engine modding and developing so I decided Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was a good place to get more familiar as there is a ton of resources and active support going on for the game.
Over the past few weeks I've done a lot of learning, and it's been really fun even if challenging at times (man the hair materials/shaders in particular drove me CRAZY!) and I just wanted to showcase something I have been working on: Princess Leia, aka the late great Carrie Fisher! It was completely unintended, I mainly just wanted to get some assets into the game to start playing around with. The outfit is something that I created years ago (which is why it looks a little dated) based off of Leia's heavily modified outfit from Battlefront 2 and a hairstyle I had modded for the game. Of course, once I got the hair and the outfit into the game I couldn't not complete the look... So I have created a new face mesh! I must say, I love the ways you can use Unreal Engine to make the skin look great.
This kind of feels a little full circle for me as I have always been such a huge Carrie Fisher fan. Ever since I was a kid I always looked up to her and have deeply loved a lot of her work, in particular her books (Postcards From The Edge being my favourite!). In fact, the first ever model I created when I was 12 years old was Leia so it's really nice this unexpected development happened and has made me feel nostalgic in a lot of ways. I have previously stated that I have somewhat fallen out of love with Star Wars in the past few years, and because I've never been a huge fan of playing as a Jedi (what can I say, I'm a sucker for a Princess with a blaster rifle) I never gave the Star Wars Jedi games much thought.
However, I am super glad to have taken a chance on the game when it was recently on sale because it's so FUN! I always thought it was just a hack-and-slasher and never realised how in-depth the game was in terms of exploration, platforming and even puzzles. It's been a while where puzzles in a game have stumped me, so big kudos to the developers for not making everything feel so casual and easy. As someone who doesn't love melee-centric gameplay, I've even really been enjoying the combat.
Along with Leia, I have also implemented female walking, jogging, running, sprinting, idling and all the transition animations in between as well as a couple of sound changes. My thought process on this mod was 'What if Leia was always a jedi?' which I think is an interesting concept to explore. Anyway, I feel like this is something that I will work on for a little while since the customisation potential is absolutely insane. What do you think?
But don't worry, if Star Wars isn't your thing it's certainly not the only project I've got going on and I can't wait to share more with you guys soon! Hope you're all doing well <3

To celebrate I have put together a video showcasing the outfits and some gameplay segments. I will be updating with a full playthrough soon! Classic and Classic Poncho outfits will be released publicly on Nexus on the 7th of December, whereas the Opera Dress is a Patreon exclusive that can be found here.

The day has come for the Jusant Starring Lara Croft release! To this post you will find the files attached, and I will detail the mod itself and how to install it below:
The Mods
There are two main outfits to choose from which is Lara's Classic outfit and her Classic Poncho outfit from Tomb Raider 1. Each appearance includes an option to wear Lara's iconic red glasses at all times, however my preference is to use the version without glasses. This is due to in certain parts of the story, Lara will put the glasses on anyway so it provides a nice balance but each to their own!
I have also included a mod to disable Lara's little blue friend that usually sits on her shoulders or on her backpack. If you choose to use this mod, some cutscenes may appear odd as Lara will often interact with her friend (particularly towards the end) and they will appear invisible.
The other mod I have also added is being able to disable the stamina UI. My preference is to use this mod as the game already gives you audio queues and screen effects for when you are low on stamina, so adding an additional bar that you can see being depleted is kind of redundant. In my opinion, this makes the game slightly more challenging and forces you to be a little more focused on the platforming aspect. NOTE: If you use this mod, it will also disable the button prompt (by default, it's key C) for grappling your rope onto certain hooks, however there will still be an icon over the hook to let you know that you can interact with it.
The Opera Dress is a Patreon exclusive outfit that can be found here.
Installation
Really simple! All you need to do is:
1. Download the mod/s that you would like to use.
2. Go to your game directory where Jusant is installed and follow this folder path: Jusant\ASC\Content\Paks.
For example, this is what my folder path looks like as I am using it via steam: E:\Program Files\steamapps\common\Jusant\ASC\Content\Paks
3. In the 'Pak' folder, create a folder called: ~mods
4. Step into the ~mods folder, and your folder path should look like this: Jusant\ASC\Content\Paks\~mods
5. Unpack your .rar mod/s, and you're good to launch the game.
Bugs/Issues
I did not encounter many issues with the mod, outside of the hair physics sometimes clipping through Lara's shoulders in some cutscenes if there is a quick screen transition.
One thing to note is that the default running animation has the character holding their hands in front of their stomach. This is due to the original/vanilla character wearing a poncho, so they didn't animate their hands to move much whilst running. I did try adding a custom animation, however this game does not like to use custom animations. I'll keep trying to find a fix for this, but I have made custom animations in Unreal Engine before, yet this game does not want to accept them. So we'll see! Luckily you spend most of your time climbing anyway, so it's not really noticeable in my opinion.
Notes
Only install one outfit mod at a time. Installing more than one will cause the game to crash as they are fighting to replace the same files.

UPDATE: Due to some unexpected personal events that have occurred this week, I am going to need to extend the release date of the mod by about 2-3 days. I am extremely sorry, and I hope you can understand.
_
Hello everyone, hope you are doing well! I just wanted to share some work in progress pictures for the upcoming Jusant mod. These are the three outfits I have created:
1. Poncho
2. Classic
3. Opera Dress (Patreon Exclusive)
All of the outfits come with custom physics and an optional variation to wear Lara's iconic red glasses that were seen in the teaser I released a couple of days ago. Along with the outfits, I have created an additional mod that turns off the Stamina UI to make the platforming a bit more challenging, having to rely on audio and visual ques to figure out if Lara is becoming tired and needs to rest.
Of course I will make a video showing the outfits in action in the next few days, at the moment I am ironing out the physics - particularly with the dress.
As I said in my previous post, this was just a small 'breather' mod for me before I move onto my next big project but if you would like to see other outfits or even characters included I am happy for suggestions!
I hope you enjoy!

Firstly I wanted to say a massive thank you to all of the supporters who followed along the Tomb Raider Eclipse journey. What started off as a small idea of changing a couple of outfits quickly grew into being a much bigger project as more people showed interest in the mod, so I really do mean it when I say that I couldn't have done it without your support, feedback and words of encouragement. In my modding 'career' I have primarily focused on 3D modelling, but Eclipse was a great motivation to branch out by reigniting my love for animating as well as learning knew skills relating to audio and (very very rudimentary) scripting. So to see the reception be as positive as it has been since release is extremely heartwarming - Thank you!
What Are You Working On?
Well if it's not so obvious now, I have attached a video of a mod I have been working on for the past 1-2 weeks. This is for an indie platformer game called 'Jusant' that has such a beautiful artstyle, an interesting story, engaging gameplay - and surprisingly no mods at all! I only got the chance to start playing it at the end of October and I really connected with it so I decided I wanted to do a little more. After Eclipse, I did want to take a step back from Tomb Raider for a little bit and try my hand on a new engine and something different - however my first thought when playing Jusant was "This is very Tomb Raider coded", so naturally this lead me to putting Lara in the game. Am I crazy? I'm probably crazy.
Luckily the game has challenged me to working with an art-style that I haven't much experience with, so I hope you all enjoy it! I have created 3 outfits (one of which is a Patreon exclusive) and some minor gameplay changes, all of which I will share more on in the next few days, but at this point the mod is complete with a few kinks that needing some ironing. The mod will be released by the end of the week on Patreon with the public release being a few weeks later. To be honest, I don't expect a whole lot of traction with this, but for me it was a nice, easy project to work on after spending almost a year on Eclipse.
What's Next?
Over the past month I have been persistently asked "Will you do Rise Of The Tomb Raider or 2013?". The short answer is: Yes.
The tool creator for Shadow of The Tomb Raider reached out to me to advise that the tools will be getting expanded to Rise and 2013, so what was possible for Shadow will also be possible for those two games. This of course excites me, and I've already gone into planning mode, however as I stated above I would like to take a step back from Tomb Raider games for a little bit and broaden my horizons. That, and the modding tools do not have an ETA yet so there's no point just sitting around.
That doesn't mean I don't have anything planned though, quite the contrary. I have created some mods for the Resident Evil games in the past as the engine is highly moddable and allow for all sorts of additions to be made ranging from 3d models, to animations and new gameplay mechanics. I started a really awesome animation mod midway through last year which took a back seat in favour of Eclipse, and I will be completing that shortly. Stay tuned for that because I can't wait to show it off, it's a lot of fun! For years now I have also wanted to work on a comprehensive modding project for the Resident Evil 2 & 3 remakes that re-design all the main characters and give them a 90s overhaul. I have started on this previously, but at this point I probably want a do-over.
With the Unreal Engine (UE) being such a widely used engine these days, I also want to greatly expand my knowledge in it. I have worked with UE in the past on projects for Hogwarts Legacy and Silent Hill 2 remake, but I want to become more experienced with it which in turn will open up a greater variety of projects for a huge list of games - especially the next mainline Tomb Raider game. This was one of my main motivators for working on Jusant - and let me tell you, I had a lot of frustrating moments over the past 1-2 weeks of having to figure things out on my own as there was 0 resources for that game!
For those who don't know, apart from Tomb Raider and Resident Evil, I am also a big fan of Star Wars. Unfortunately I have fallen slightly out of love with the franchise in the past few years, however seeing that Jedi Survivor is on the Unreal Engine, has a widely positive reception and supports huge modding potential, I would also like to give that a go by overhauling the player character and the animations.
There are also mods that I have created for various games (one that springs to mind is Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness) that I have never publicly released. Is there much interest in seeing those and releasing them?
Ultimately I love character and costume designing. That's where a lot of my passion is, which might not come as a surprise to some of you. People often ask me for a straight up recreation of an existing design and sometimes I can't help but put my own spin on things or prefer to use that design as more of an inspiration. Like I'm sure it is for most people, if I am not creating or feeling creative then I'm not going to find much enjoyment. This is also probably why I often mod games that don't have such a huge active community haha.
With all this being said, I would love to hear from you guys as to what you would like to see moving forward? Do you like the above ideas? What games and projects would you like to see worked on? Would you like to see more character renders?
Thanks for reading!

UPDATE
I have added part 12 to the mod which adds a new menu model and animation to the menu. You don't need to reinstall any of the mod parts or optional packs, simply just install this as normal and your menu screen will be updated. Please find a picture of it below:
Enjoy!
______________________________________________________________
Tomb Raider Eclipse finally here! This is the complete mod that gives Lara not only a new look, but sound and attitude. Before I get into whats new as part of this update, I want to mention that this mod does come with some changes to Lara's background that is referenced in several parts of the game. Find out more below:
Background
Tomb Raider Eclipse is set in 1998 and follows two significant events. In 1996 when Lara was 21, she was traveling over the Himalayas with her fiancé and two friends to celebrate her completing University when their plane crashed due to an unnatural storm. This caused them to be stranded in a Valley that seemed to defy the laws of nature and unwilling to let anyone trapped leave until the curse that held them there was broken. Lara, using her intelligence and survival instincts, managed to solve the mystery of the Valley - but at the cost of losing everyone, leaving her the sole survivor. In 1997 Lara's new found love for adventure has lead her to join expeditions with her former University Professor Werner Von Croy, who was also a close friend of Lara's father before he passed away. This is where she met Jonah, the teams cook and gained an instant liking to him. The last expedition that they went on lead to uncovering a secret organisation by the name of Trinity who had been following Von Croy's work - but unfortunately this lead to him being killed. Lara, wanting to know why, uses Von Croy's journal to retrace his steps and figure out just want Trinity wants.
This is where Tomb Raider Eclipse starts.
Whats New
Complete overhaul of Lara's vocals, including new dialogue and conversations.
Story alterations that change Lara's background to be more in line with her classic self.
A lot of dialogue from the original game has been silenced, such as puzzle hints and unnecessary conversations.
All subtitles have been changed to reflect the new dialogue.
Outfit icons and outfit descriptions have been completely overhauled to correctly reflect the new outfits.
Classic outfit replaces Nine Strides Torso.
Classic Braid replaces Quenti legs.
A photography model has been added using Lara's classic outfit and holding dual pistols. This replaces the 2013 outfit.
An additional optional hair colour has been added: Silver.
Child Lara has been somewhat fixed. She now no longer speeds runs but does have some slightly buggy looking climbing animations.
In the prologue when Lara cuts her leg and bandages it, this is now correctly modelled.
A new poncho has been given to Lara during the intro festival.
Lara's festival mask has been replaced with her classic red circular glasses.
An optional mod to wear the glasses at all times.
Notes
Ensure that you're always using the latest mod tool available on nexus.
Previous overhaul versions should not be installed, only this one.
If using the Angelina Jolie head mod, ensure that it is installed after update 9.
Optional Packs are not mandatory. Only download them if you want to change Lara's default hair, eye or skin colour.
I will be replacing the animation and model in the menu, but I've had a very full week. Give me a few days :)

Now that the Shadow of the Tomb Raider Overhaul mod is almosted completed, I am finally ready to unveil the name: Tomb Raider Eclipse.
Of course I couldn't just reveal the name along with some screenshots, so I put together a trailer that also confirms the launch dates.
Patreon Release: 18th of October.
Public Release on Nexus: 7th of November.
Lara Croft Redesign
The Tomb Raider herself has been overhauled to resemble a mixture of elements from her classic era, ranging from the games, live action models and Angelina Jolie. This includes 27 new outfits and 11 new hairstyles inspired from Lara's many adventures, along with some custom created ones to give choices for fresh new looks. You will also be able to customise Lara even by choose from a variety of optional make-up styles, skin tones, eye and hair colours as well wearing the iconic sunglasses.
Audio Redesign
To accompany Lara with her new look, her voice will sound more confident by using a deeper voice more in-line with her Classic era. Not only this, but there will be brand new dialogue (performed by me!) throughout the game that brings back Lara's legendary adventurous, sarcastic and witty persona. All audible puzzle hints have been silenced to provide a more Classic feel, and allows players to figure out how to complete puzzles on their own. Over 6000 audio files have been replaced primarily focusing on Lara herself, however there has been music changes in certain parts.
Animation Redesign
Lara can't just look and sound more confident, her movements need to reflect that with over 100 animations having been reworked. There are so many animations to go through (which I will write a complete list of a bit later), but all of the major ones such as walking, running,and climbing are completely new and reintroduces acrobatic moves into Lara's skill set.

This is where Tomb Raider Eclipse starts.
I just want to say a massive thank you to all of my Patreon supporters, Tomb Raider Eclipse ended up being a greater undertaking than I initially planned. What started out as a simple mod to update Lara's look, more tools came out that gave me greater opportunity to be able to edit more. It's been such a pleasure working on this, as I haven't created new animations in such a long time and this was my inspiration to get back into it. I also haven't voice acted in quite a while, so it was really fun stepping back into that scene. Not only that, I have never worked with audio files before so it was great learning a new skill - probably why it's taken as long as it has!

I hope you like these new renders of the upcoming outfits that will be released in this weeks update of the Overhaul mod. This is the default outfit for Lara called the 'Jungle Tactical' which comes with a shorts variant. There will be quite a number of additions which I will share more upon release.

I wanted to share some screenshots of the upcoming outfits that will be released in this weeks update. Here is a first glimpse at the 'Jungle Tactical' outfit which is replacing Lara's default tactical outfit. Personally, I do not like the idea of Lara wearing military styled clothes as I prefer her to look more like an Archaeologist than a soldier.
However, I did want Lara to look prepared for her take down of Trinity, so I came up with (what I believe is) a happy medium. To accompany the new default outfit, we have Lara sporting a loose braid.
The second outfit is an alternate version of the 'Jungle Tactical' outfit with Lara now sporting shorts and a cap.
What Else To Expect
Along with the outfits in this update will be new poses for Lara, make-up options and a few other surprises.
Enjoy!

This weeks update will contain 3 new outfits, along with some animation updates. The first new outfit is Lara's iconic wetsuit from Tomb Raider Underworld, with the second new outfit being an Angel of Darkness colour pallet. The third outfit is a very 90s adventure outfit - points for whoever gets the reference of who it's based on!
As for animations, I'm continuing to refine the climbing animations and I have implemented a much improved secondary kick for Lara. As you can see, I'm certainly no photographer but enjoy!

Update 7 of the Outfit and animations is here! My apologies for being unable to complete the WIP outfit on before release and not having a render for the new outfit. I also had intended on getting this update out a few days ago, however an unexpected life event happened which needs addressing. However, this update comes with a new outfit, three new hairstyles and some exciting animation additions and changes. Please enjoy a video showing the updates and keep reading for the update notes:
Whats New
One new outfit and Three new hairstyles based off of Lara's classic appearances.
Tomb Raider 3 South Pacific outfit replaces Ch'amaka torso.
Tomb Raider 1 Classic Bun hairstyle replaces Yaway legs.
Tomb Raider 2 Film High Braid hairstyle replaces Six Sky legs.
A longer version of Lara's Dual Braids hairstyle from her child appearance replaces Ch'amaka legs.
New melee animations that replaces the axe swinging system.
Melee'ing whilst standing still will have Lara performing punches.
Melee'ing whilst moving will have Lara perform kicks.
New melee sounds have been added to overwrite the axe swinging sounds (this one was extremely tedious because I had to manually search for all the individual sounds of which there are many!)
You can create your own melee combinations by moving or standing still in between the first and second melee hit as demonstrated in the video.
Pistol animations have also been altered to give her more of an Angel of Darkness and combat ready look.
The walking animation has been refined to allow her arms to swing more smoothly and have her fingers in a more closed fist position.
The running animation has also been smoothed out, and the arms moved closer to her body. The Angel of Darkness running animation was my inspiration here as it looks more closer to a jog than a full speed run.
Some of the pre-attach ledge grabbing and jumping animations have been better animated to be more smooth and realistic.
Notes
Ensure that you're always using the latest mod tool available on nexus.
Previous overhaul versions should not be installed, only this one.
If using the Angelina Jolie head mod, ensure that it is installed after update 7.
I will continue to work on the second kicking animation as I'm not 100% happy where it is at.

I just wanted to share a few work-in-progress pictures for some of the upcoming additions to the overhaul mod that will be released this week. For the new outfit there is Lara's Tomb Raider 3 South Pacific appearance along with 3 new hairstyles. The first new hairstyle we have is the high braid from the diving outfit in the Cradle of Life film. Second hairstyle is Lara's dual braids she sports as a child, but much longer! And thirdly we have the iconic Tomb Raider 1 bun.
Hopefully by the time I release the next update, I will have finished the current outfit that I am working. What you can also expect is a couple of animation alterations as well.
Enjoy!

As much as I love Lara Croft and Tomb Raider, I decided to take a small break, try something a little different and create my own modern interpretation of Maria from Silent Hill 2. Whilst I wanted her to look familiar, I also didn't want to simply just create a 'next gen' version of her original look so naturally took some creative liberties.
Depending on how good the game is when it's released, I may convert this into a mod for Silent Hill 2 remake.
Please enjoy!

In preparation for the update to the overhaul mod tomorrow, I have created renders of the outfit and hairstyles that will be included. In a previous work in progress post I stated that there would be an additional outfit included, however that one is not quite ready and I wanted to get this out for people to use ASAP :)
Please enjoy!
