High definition textures - well there aren't any, but there might be soon. I've just released v1.23 of Glidos, and this has a facility that makes it very easy to create texture packs for TR1; you just have to edit .bmp files with Paint. You can scale the textures up, paste bits of photos from your digital camera into them, draw on them, whatever you like. By doing so, you can dress Lara up in new clothes, redecortate her home, anything really. I've uploaded a little example that puts pictures of my family on the walls of her house.
Another possibility is to find textures that match the originals, but are of much higher quality. The texture packs use 24 bit images, rather than the 8 bit originals, and most of the textures can be increased in resolution by a factor of 4 in both dimentions. I'm hoping someone might start up a project to update the whole game. I haven't the artistic ability, but I've provided the means.
Cheers,
Paul.
