I've been busy reworking what I did with the Peru levels and thought I'd post a few screenshots. Here are some from Caves...
The whole pack for Peru is weighing in at 15mb at the moment...
I may be able to optimise it down a bit more...
...but probably not a lot!

A few from Vilcabamba...
I had to reinvent this pool - the mosaic didn't fit right!
skull wall...
go for that door!

end of level!
Great textures! 😀 Can't wait for a final version!
But don't you think they should be more grey-ish? Grey was dominant colour in first levels of Tomb Raider.
I'm not sticking religiously to the original feel of the game. I've been attempting to work in an impression of earth and clay through the first two levels - but things do get a lot darker and greyer as we descend into the tomb, trust me!
Whoa! Lovely stuff -- puts mine to shame! Though I think the pool is weird -- doesn't really work for me. I know the original mosaic was inaccurate but I'm so used to it now, anything else just doesn't look right!
Other than that, I'm loving your new interpretations -- makes me wonder if sticking to the original look a feel is maybe a bit pointless after all....?
EDIT: have you doctored these in any way? The lighting looks very impressive, better than I recall....
I haven't doctored them, I'm working with much darker textures to heighten the drama of the original in-game lighting.
I'm so tempted now to do this as you are: personal interpretation. I'm getting quite tired of making things looks basically the same as the original -- yes, they're higher res but so what?
Hmmmm....
Anyway, keep it up -- looking really very good indeed! Can't wait for the full pack. BTW, I have next friday off with the intention of finishing the TRX site, so it'll soon be ready for use.... 😉
Amazing. A masterful piece of work. Everything looks so real
