I just know I don't have the time before Christmas to get something worthwhile out 🙁 However, there will be something in the New Year.

Both textures are great Gambit37.

Gambit37 & JC - I agree with some of the previous posts. The best way to go is when you finish a level to just release it to all the fans and we will give you a feedback. I also agree with Glidos that both, you and JC, are great artists and all the work you've done so far is just great (doesn't need enything else). So just concentrate on one level at a time so the project can move forward.

I need to rant!

I'm re-working Lara and have been doing her gloves today. Core were really, really bad at how (un)careful they were with these textures in particular. The open back of the glove gets flipped and rotated on each hand and also when you change weapons. This makes it impossible to do a correct texture -- so, against my perfectionist nature, I've had to say "screw it, good enough".

Bum bum bum.

Happy Christmas everyone!

Hehe. Considering the low resolution of the Saturn / PSX / DOS versions, one can easily imagine the guys were applying textures by the kilometer without really checking whether the tiniest details looked right or not.

Yeah, easy to get away with on what was basically nothing more than a pink circle on a black background. Still sloppy though -- even weirder, is that when you change to the Shotgun, the texture is completely replaced with just a black rectangle!

Like the new compass? Took over two hours to do this, mainly through trial and error of stretching the corner pieces of the rim, because they actually don't line up on the original mesh properly if you just apply a circular texture as-is. Also, the mesh for the face isn't big enough to fill the gap in the shell, so unfortunately there are gaps around it. Pain in the ass!

Here's a hi-res shot of my reworked mosaic pool in Vilcabamba.
