Grey Henley Explorer Lara by Trangel

Description
MY FIRST OUTFIT OF 2026 AND I'M EXITED TO SHOW YOU. IT'S BASED OFF ONE ICONIC OUTFIT LARA'S GREY HENLEY FROM THE
RISE OF THE TOMB RAIDER GAMES.

THE OUTFIT IS A COMBINATION OF MULTIPLE LARA BUT THE BASE IS LEGEND BECAUSE I THINK LEGEND IS THE BEST
LARA, ALSO BECAUSE LEGEND LARA IS SO EASY TO MANIPULATE.

THE WORKFLOW PROCESS:
FOR ME, MAKING OUTFITS IS A PRETTY STRAIGHT FORWARD PATH BUT WITH TOMB ENGINE AND UVMAPPING IT MAKES CREATING OUTFITS
SO MUCH EASIER AND LESS TIME CONSUMMING.
WITH THE NEW CATALYST GAME I WAS INSPIRED TO CREATE AN OUTFIT THAT REPRESENTS THE NEW LARA THAT'S WHY INCLUDING IN THIS
PACK IS THE LARA OUTFIT WITH A BANDANA WRAPPED AROUND HER NECK.

BUT BACK TO THE PROCESS, I KNEW I WANTED TO DO THE HENLEY OUTFIT I WASN'T SURE HOW IT WOULD TURN OUT.
I COULD HAVE JUST RIPPED THE MODEL COMPLETELY EDITED IT AND PUT HER IN THE GAME BUT THERE WERE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS.
ONE WAY TO DETAILED, THAT'S IS ALWAYS THE PROBLEM WITH CREATING NEW OUTFITS... DETAILED LARA VERSUS THE REST OF THE
WORLD. SO I HAD TO COMPLETE RECREAT IT TO FIT THE TOMB EDITOR'S ENGINE.

I STARTED WITH THE SHIRT WHICH WAS SO COMPLICATED.
SO I WENT TO BLENDER TO DECIMATE HER TOP AND I THINK IT TURNED OUT BETTER THAN EXPECTED.
ONCE I HAD THE TORSO MAPPED OUT AND I WAS SATISFIED THE NEXT WAS WORKING ON THE PANTS WHICH POSED ANOTHER HUGE CHALLENGE.

CREATING THE PANTS WAS CHALLENGING BECAUSE IF THE PLACEMENT OF THE MESHES AREN'T CORRECT YOU GET GAPS AND THE MESH
WONT LOOK GREAT IN GAME. FIRST I WAS GOING TO USE THE MESHES FROM LEGEND AND THEY LOOK GREAT BUT THE TEXTURES WEREN'T
RIGHT FOR WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. NEXT I WAS SETTLED ON USUING THE TEXTURES FROM THE UNDERWORLD JUNGLE HEAVY OUTFIT
BUT AGAIN I DIDN'T LIKE WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT. FINALLY AFTER ALL THAT I SETTLED ON THE TOMB RAIDER 2013 PANTS WHICH
HAD LOWER POLYGONS AND LOOKED FANTASTIC.

IN THE END I'M EXTREMELY SATISFIED WITH THE OUTFIT AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY HER AS MUCH AS I ENJOYED CREATING HER.
