 Just saw this pic in the Tomb Raider Series forum. Lara Croft skin by lco for Quake 3. I know that we'll never be able to do this with Strpix or any other tools, because of the crappy TR4 engine. Lara looks amazing in that skin, much more lifelike than TRLE outfits. maybe The Sage of Time could... [This message has been edited by LarzBritsh (edited 06-24-2002).] IP: Logged |

hello- ever played Quake?...
then you'd know they've been
creating good mods for years. It's
fun to open up a Q model in an .mdl
program & see the nice full UV texture
mapping, insted of the TR "patchwork"
of textures.but it's a totally different game.
there's no way in ____ , that game can do
the 3rd person perspective avatar we all
know as Lara. the game engine simply won't allow fluid
animations/gameplay in the 3rd person.
it doesn't have the TR camera or the means
to do 3rd person view(actually, it can
but it's Soooo lame; they should look at
"Oni" for ideas..) they haven't a clue about:
"backflips, sideflips,swandives,etc,etc.."
or- really making a muscular 3D game.. but enjoy the good looks of this model;
it's a life-like AJ isn't it? but not Lara. what's comical is that ...on PlanetQuake, they crowed about this model as being far
superior to the silly "blocky Core Design"
model... they *missed* the point...
their game ain't no TombRaider; never
will be...
so don't drool to hard over something that doesn't really work like *you'd want it to*-
'cause, it doesn't.

True - Quake 3 is no Tomb Raider.After all TR games paved the way for other 3rd person games. I take back all i said about the TR4 engine being crappy after reading your reply Fairchild  IP: Logged |

true, tomb raider has a great story behind it, and as far as i know, quake is kill kill kill, not to be judgemental or anything, but my preference is tr.

maybe we shouldnt judge quake, i mean i like games like goldeneye and perfect dark too, and those are (less violent then quake) but still about killing. I retract my statement, geckokid.

hi all, didn't mean to start a fight or nothing;
all games have their merits... I am fond of Quake; i don't mind ...
*kill,kill,kill* sometimes. i mean it is
senseless violence; like why people slow
down & gawk at an automobile accident.
(you know you shouldn't-but you do...) & when the original GL(3dfx Glide)
Quake 1 came out, it was(& still is...)
really dreamy-looking..like the first
TombRaider impressed me.
(pretty good for an "old game"..) but, i prefer TR because, i'd rather
explore/sightsee in archeological
surroundings. I like fantasy/pulp fiction/
noir & *tabloid* sensationalism
adventure games to -- "shooters". besides, Lara has the physical,muscular
3D animations sets that allow for
"defensive combat"... it's just Really fun to jump her around,
guns blazing! even Oni can't do that
quite like Lara can... (although, Oni IS kool with her fantastic
martial arts kicks,slides,punches, moves; a
most excellent game!). try it-if you haven't yet. I used to build Quake levels, before
i learned the TReditor. I like Quake/HL &
UnReal but i could never go back to designing
that style of gameplay. for me, it's not as satisfying as TR building. It's all in - what you want to
do really.

The main thing is that Lara and Tomb Raider have "STYLE".I mean every one knows it! Even people who don't play computer games. There is no game that can reach Tomb Raider or Lara in this point and thats what makes this game so special!  IP: Logged |
