Original mesh extracted from the game and only slightly changed, mainly the shape of the breasts and proper 3D nipples.
Before anyone asks, the panties are self-made.

 

You a 3d modeler?

@evamay222

Nah, not really, it's more of a hobby.
I mean I try to be and sometimes I even manage to pull off something cool.
But I wouldn't describe myself as a real 3D modeler.

[beelzebub2063]

I have noticed that there is a problem with all the nude mods that I have tried.
The legs appear slightly darker under certain lighting conditions.
Makes sense, because normally the legs are under the clothing and therefore have to be shown a little darker. You can see this particularly clearly in Paititi.
But what if you play with nude mods?
Apparently the mesh of the legs is addressed slightly differently by the game's own shader. You can reduce this somewhat with the help of textures, the HörnyCopter mod does a pretty good job, but this mod doesn't completely solve the problem either.
Since no modder has really solved this problem, I decided to build my own mod.
The idea is to import a completely new mesh instead of arms, since the arms are rendered by the shader in the same way as the head.
If I do everything right and don't mess up the weight painting it should be doable... I hope.
I'm almost done with the body and have created a few different versions, I'm just not quite sure which one I'll use yet.
Then transfer the textures and then I can start testing.

Ah I understand. Sorry for my bluntness. I was trying to look for modelers to hire for commission work. It's not as easy as I thought it would be haha.

Those boobs and thighs are  way too small >:)

Sounds good. You can have custom parts and make as many cuts as you like. The mesh will be seamless as long as the weightmaps are the same. The easiest way to do this is to combine everything into one mesh. And to use the combined mesh as a reference to transfer the weights to your parts.

You can't combine everything here; all parts are separate since they use different skeletons.

No, that's not true at all.

You are right, but the combined mesh is not used for anything other than as a "full waightmap" reference. It's only purpose is to transfer weights from the combined to the parts.

There is that, and then there is the  THICC  version, which we is way bigger than this.

[beelzebub2063]

I'm currently in the process of testing how to import the files correctly, that's a byproduct of my testing.
Creating such a mod only took 30 minutes, but it's nothing extraordinary, no new fancy textures or new model, just the tank top outfit with bigger boobs.

Something like this?

Then I have bad news for you, I will never do something like that to Lara.

[beelzebub2063]

@thefundude

These are some really nice pictures and such a version of "THICC" is...acceptable.
I'm not promising anything, but I'll see what I can do.
But first I have to at least get the normal version into the game.

 

P.S.

I have successfully transferred the textures and at least in the Blender viewport it looks pretty good but now the really important thing begins...
Weight painting!!!

Not sure how big it is.

Not quite that much, but about 2/3s yes.  The boobs are still kinda small.

Dude, not big enough, seriously?
Ooookaaaaaayyy
I have something but I'll tell you straight away, it was just for fun.
I can't tell you if and especially when I'll make a mod out of it because, you know, RL is a bitch

Yeah the One on the Right   !_!  Most Definitely.  Yea real life is crappy.  Well I do hope you take an interest in actually making this for Shadow, Cause we desperately need it.  Everyone is still all over the Rise. and Lara is lacking so much on Shadow

 Personally I prefer the smaller breast vs bigger ones, but that's just my two cents worth.

[Budz]

I think those tits are huge. Like a cartoon or a stripper, first one is ok the second one is a bit much. This image you posted earlier was pretty good for a "big tits" option. That's as big as I would go. There's always someone that wants comically large tits, but it's a few people here and there. Most people just want to see the girl naked or with slutty clothes. The closer to the vanilla body, the better.

Your "big" is my "normal". That's how different tastes are. ^^

You're one of those who think that breasts bigger than B cup don't exist IRL or something?

[Budz]

I love big tits, but it really depends on the girl and her figure. Maybe you guys don't think this is big enough, but for example I think this Tina looks really good.

 

I also prefer Tifa over Aerith so that should give you an idea. I just think it looks weird on this version of Lara. She's a bit on the slim side and she has a somewhat athletic body. So I don't think big stripper tits really fit her body.

[Albertros]

Here's a little something I've been working on. Basically an updated version of my TR13 Lara. 
Also using the original head and shapekeys and there are 0 neck seams. Available soon for everyone and more to come on my patreon

@Albertros

Oh my...

Is this the vanilla body or are you using something selfmade?
