SOTTR | Legend Inspired Renders

For the incoming update to the Shadow of the Tomb Raider overhaul mod, I have created two new renders of what new appearances to expect by the end of the week. Please enjoy :)

SOTTR | Tomb Raider: Legend Re-envisioned WIP

In preparation for the next update to the overhaul mod, I'm excited to show one of the upcoming revised Legend outfits and hairstyles. I am hoping to have the update out by the end of the week, so as always thank you for your patience.

Please enjoy!

SOTTR | Outfit Renders

I haven't done much rendering in a long time so I decided to do a few based off of the new outfits that are included in the most recent Overhaul update.

These were quite fun to make, even though I don't think I have perfected the lighting yet.

Hope you enjoy!

SOTTR | Overhaul Mod 'Lara Finds The Dagger' Cutscene

Before I post the new update to the overhaul mod tomorrow, I wanted to show an additional cutscene featuring the voice over mod.

I'll be posting a few more snippets in the next coming weeks and some exciting news.

For the moment, please enjoy!

SOTTR | Tomb Raider 2013 Re-envisioned WIP

This is a work-in-progress outfit set of my take on Lara's origin story and how she would have looked. I took a little more creative liberty with this one than the Rise re-envisioned to appropriately showcase Lara's re-written backstory that will be referenced in the overhaul mod.

I have always thought that Lara epitomises the 1990s, and even to this day should be somewhat ambiguously set in that decade. To reflect that, I have given her 90s casual look that portrays an in-experienced, unassuming young woman being forced into a challenging situation and having to survive. Instead of focusing on her looking tactical and ready for combat (like modern Tomb Raider does), I wanted to reference elements of what makes Tomb Raider so special - specifically, the platforming! What better way to do that than looking like a skilled and capable rock climber ready to traverse any kind of terrain?

There are three variations of this outfit:

Pre-crash -

Post-Crash -

Geared up -

Points to whoever gets the Harvard Sweater reference! Initially I had planned to make her look more rough and tumbled with bandages, wounds and dirt, however for the purpose of it being set in the Shadow storyline, I decided to keep her clean.

An update to the overhaul mod will be released later this week which will include this outfit. As always, thank you for your continued support and enjoy!

SOTTR | Rise of the Tomb Raider Re-envisioned WIP

This is work-in-progress outfits based off of Rise of the Tomb Raider, giving her more of a 90s explorer aesthetic along with a new ponytail hairstyle.

There is the Gray Henley replacement along with a red variant, and the same outfit but with a jacket and backpack that replaces the Remnant Jacket.

The hairstyle will also be available in the mix + match slots so it can be used with other outfits, and this set will be part of the next overhaul release.

SOTTR | So You Thought This Was Just a Visual Overhaul?

To celebrate the release of version 3 of Lara's Outfit/Hair/Animations Overhaul, I am ready to share that I have been hard at work changing a ton of the dialogue in Shadow, primarily focusing on Lara.

What to expect

• Replaces all of Lara's voice with a deeper, confident and more classic style.

• Removes all pointless dialogue, radio conversations and puzzle hints unless absolutely necessary for story or completing a puzzle.

• Custom written dialogue that changes how Lara interacts with other characters and objects. This aims to take away the overly serious tone and bring back wit and sarcasm.

• Alters some of the music and sound effects to be more classic inspired.

• Fun references to Lara's previous adventures.

This is my first time working with AI, so as you can imagine it has taken a little bit of time. I am also performing the new lines myself to give more confident delivery. Roughly a 30% performance by me, 70% performance from Camilla.

Please enjoy this small sample of whats to come.

Note: This mod is not intended to offend or criticize Camilla Luddington's appearance and performance, only provide a fresh experience based off of classic Tomb Raider.

SOTTR | [New Update] V3 Outfit + Animations Overhaul Update Release [Obsolete]

UPDATE: I have updated part 1 to include a fix to the ledge climbing animation that pushes Lara back off the ledge when holding forward. No need to reinstall all parts, just uninstall part 1, download the new one that is attached, and install it.

Update 3 of the Outfit and animations is finally here! Keep reading for more information:

Whats New

• Cradle of Life China Jacket Outfit with custom physics that replaces Kantu Torso

• Cradle of Life China without Jacket Outfit that replaces ROTTR Leather jacket

• Re-envisioned Unified Outfit that replaces Urqu Torso

• Re-envisioned Unified Braided hairstyle that replaces Urqu Legs

• Custom outfit and hairstyle with physics that replaces child Lara

• 5 Make-up options based on Angel of Darkness, Classic, Legend and a darker eyed version of the default.

• 3 New poses: Two are with hands on hips, and one is with folded arms.

Notes

• If you're using the Angelina Jolie face, please ensure you're downloading the updated face model from the post.

• It doesn't matter what order you install the parts in, I only had to separate the mod it due to Patreon's upload size limit.

• When installing part 1 of the mod mod, it will ask you which make-up option you would like to use along with sample photos. If you want to change the make-up option at any time, just uninstall and reinstall part 1.

• If you are using the Angelina Jolie face model (exclusive to 'The Influencer' tier), ensure that you are installing the face model after you've installed this overhaul mod.

• Due to moving the release build to similarly reflect my internal testing, I have no longer replaced every single mix+match outfit. This is because outfits are going to be released at a quicker pace.

Bugs

• The running and rolling animation for child Lara is bugged and move at hyper speed. I am working with the tool creator to fix this, but we're unsure why these two animations are the only ones effected.

Firstly I just wanted to say thank you for supporting me and your patience on this project. Whilst I haven't been able to get the outfits out as quickly as I'd like, now that I'm mostly finished with the voice mod (conducting internal testing now), I will be able to put my primary focus back to finishing the visuals of this overhaul mod.

SOTTR | Not just A Visual Overhaul

Now that the modding tools have been completed by _arc (which I'm sure we all thank him very much for), I have everything I need to be able to create a brand new Tomb Raider experience like I had envisioned. Not only will the mod come with a new face, outfits, hairstyles and animations, but it will also come with a complete audio overhaul.

What this audio overhaul does:

• Replaces all of Lara's voice with a deeper, confident and more classic style.

• Removes all pointless dialogue, radio conversations and puzzle hints unless absolutely necessary for story or completing a puzzle.

• Custom written dialogue that changes how Lara interacts with other characters and objects. This aims to take away the overly serious tone and bring back wit and sarcasm.

• Alters some of the music and sound effects to be more classic inspired.

This is my first time working with AI, so as you can imagine it has taken a little bit of time. I am also performing the new lines myself to give more confidence, wit and less breathiness than Camilla's performance. Roughly a 30% performance by me, 70% performance from Camilla.

As always, I appreciate your patience and please enjoy this small sample of whats to come.

Note: This mod is not intended to offend or criticize Camilla Luddington's appearance and performance, only provided a fresh experience based off of classic Tomb Raider.

SOTTR | Main Menu Theme Music Mods

Want a more classic feel? Well, I have created several mods that changes the main menu and co-op menu music to the themes in the original games.

Select from:

• Tomb Raider 1

• Tomb Raider 2

• Tomb Raider 3

• Tomb Raider 4 The Last Revelations

• Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness

• Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness Custom (Slowed + Reverbed)

• Tomb Raider Legend

• Tomb Raider 2001 Film

All mods come with the 'She's Cool' track from Tomb Raider 3 as the co-op menu music. Ensure that you are only installing one at a time, otherwise the last mod you install will be the only one playing. Enjoy!

SOTTR | V2 Outfits + Animations Overhaul and Updates [Obsolete]

Second release is finally here of animations, outfits and even minor gameplay mechanics. Keep reading for more information:

Whats New

- New custom face for Lara including new eye texture.

- New braided hairstyle that is more film accurate and replaces tactical legs. Old braid is still available.

- Ponytail now has custom physics and strands separate.

- Film tribal now has new custom cloth physics.

- 27 new animations that focus primarily on ledge grabbing/in air animations.

- Grapple hook mechanic now works similarly to Rise of the Tomb Raider where it is much easier to hook onto ledges.

Upcoming

As said on a previous post, I now more time to dedicate to modding with Shadow being my top priority.  Some things to expect:

- Angelina Jolie's head will be released for subscribers to The Influencer tier very shortly.

- More outfits and hairstyles.

- Animations that will focus on combat.

- Vocal changes.

For those who are subscribed to The Influencer tier, please post or private message me a reference image of what pose you want to see in the game and I will mod it in. Please note that I won't be making any gratuitous poses, nor can I make any with items or objects. If you would like to submit a pose, please subscribe to the Influencer tier.

SOTTR | Angelina Update, Make-up variations and Upcoming Release

I'm sure we've all been busy enjoying the Remaster's but I would like to provide an update to the Angelina Jolie head mod that will be exclusive to Patreon. I've included two make options: 

First part of the video is her make-up from the TR1 film, the second part is from the TR2 film. 

She still needs a bit more work as I will be redoing her hairline, then retro-fitting the hairstyles to her new head (which is why it looks puffy) but then she will be ready for release.

The next part of the animation pack will also be released within the next 1-2 weeks that updates 27 animations relating to climbing - and includes a really cool surprise for the grapple hook! 

Thank you for everyone patience, life has got a little busy recently but I will have more time to dedicate to modding and creating after the next 2 weeks.

SOTTR | Angelina Jolie Face WIP

I didn't set out to make Angelina Jolie's face, but given the focus on the initial part of the pack being around the films I was feeling inspired. This will come with multiple make-up and eye colour options, and will be a Patreon exclusive.

SOTTR | No more wind on the ponytail

Every now and then, there is wind activated within the game that effects cloth physics - unfortunately this wasn't well implemented in my opinion. Based on feedback, I made this update that turns off the wind physics for the ponytail.

If you're installing the mods for the first time, ensure this is installed after the main pack.

SOTTR | Custom Physics Hair Test

Now that custom physics are possible, I have decided to first test it out with the ponytail and I must say - I'm pretty happy with the results.

Fortunately, there's a lot more we can do with custom physics...

SOTTR | Knife Replacement

Knife replacement mod that gets rid of the ugly metal scrap.

To install, use the mod manager found here on Nexus. 

SOTTR | V1 Lara + Outfits Overhaul [Obsolete]

First release of Lara's new face, body and outfits. Whilst this appears to be a simple Angelina Jolie replacement, I have a lot more outfits that span all Tomb Raider era's planned.

The current standalone outfits are:

Heron Tunic = TR1 Film Cambodia Tribal

Adventurer = TR2 Film Africa

Puka Hut = Rock Climbing

Where you can mix and match your torso+legs, all torso's are replaced with with either TR1 Film Cambodia long pants, or TR1 Film intro shorts. The legs are all replaced with either the TR1 Film braid or TR2 Film ponytail.

To install this mod, use the mod manager found here on Nexus. I had to separate the .zip's into 4 due to Patreon's file limit. Please insure all are installed otherwise it won't work as intended.

I also recommend use the gear hider and the weapons hider.

SOTTR | Stage 1 Animation Overhaul: General Movement

This is the first stage of my overhauled animation pack for Shadow of the Tomb Raider. A total of 34 animations have been replaced, which notably are:

- Standing Still
- Walking
- Running
- Sprinting

- Looking around (this can't be completely removed but has been reduced)

- Ledge Climb Up

- Jump straight up

- Jump forward

- Scramble replacement with forward roll

- Front roll replacement with somersault

- Various hard landings

- Diving

- Crawling forward

I have also added breast animations as well. This is not physics based and had to be animated, so don't expect them to move in cutscenes.

To install, please use modmanager found on here on Nexus
