Any HD Textures Mod?

[AM]

Is there any / some mod in HD Textures compatible with the STEAM version?

Huh? The game seems pretty HD to me even now.

Why are you looking at old games if you care about graphics?

Just played this game for the first time in years. It still looks outstanding! lol but I do agree, you can. NOt sure what they could do though. It's purdy!

Exactly.
And with all the A.I upscaling out there (like my old ones for TR2/3and 5) yeah we need HD texs for Anniversary. The max used in this game is what 1024x1024 textures? lol, 2007.

I say that HD textures make old games look worse.

When i play low-polygonal game, having HD textures would make it look clashing and aritficial. While low-pixelated textures make it look more natural.

But it's just because i'm an artist, so i view stuff in stylistic light. When one element is lowly-detailed and other is highly-detailed, it usually looks too clashing.

To me, style is more important than technology.

"When i play low-polygonal game, having HD textures would make it look clashing and aritficial.

It makes the thing look like it was made that way. I don't know but I felt Speilberg's fx team did this to his films since so many seem to have a grainy look, well at least War o the Worlds did.

Anyway, my eye sight has gone down hill so the sharper look helps me a LOT!

Do you have eye problems? Need those glasses adjusted? Something, maybe a visit to the Dr.? CAT-scan maybe?

And for the record, style is style, dipthong.

Can you clarify what exactly do you mean?

And there was no need for insults.
By insulting me you just insulted your own pride.

[radioman970us]

I think by dipthong he meant you dip your thong, perhaps in some sort of cleaning agent. That's a compliment!

Check out nexus, perhaps there's something there, stranger.

Since the topic has been revived, I would like to discuss this further.

While I'm not sure if anyone still cares about anniversary remake of the 1st Tomb Raider game since we got reboot of the entire series in 2013, I've always found very disappointing that PC version never got the graphical enhancements from Tomb Raider Trilogy version of Tomb Raider Anniversary for PlayStation 3 ported over as DLC.

Anniversary Edition is running on the same engine as Legend if I'm not mistaken, thus there was no need to port the entire code from PS3 version over to PC. All that it could take was to make the game use PS3 textures and models in the same way as "next generation content" settings in Tomb Raider Legend. Kinda sad they've kept that version of the game console exclusive.

As mentioned before, community mods like TRA HD Project (available on Nexus) that replace textures with more detailed high resolution versions can't really improve the graphics that much when the game have low polygonal models.

I personally find "Outfit Fixes" mod to be of higher value than TRA HD Project, but still there is no mod that would bring it close to the better environmental light and shadows, smoother polygonal shading and overall level of detail of PS3 version.

IDK why some ppl likes to force their opinions on others, the guy just asked if there is an HD mod or not, just a simple answer yes or no, the first few comments are cringe,
anyway, here's what I've found:

have fun.

This topic is 3 years old. OP probably do not care about this anymore, thus there is not much point in anything else than discussing personal opinions by this time.

If we are about to provide link to HD mods for those who might be interested, I would rather direct them to actual in progress TRA HD Project mod[www.nexusmods.com]
which I've already mentioned above, rather than old abandoned mod that require obsolete method to modify the game files.

Thanks i will try the mod you mentioned, i was looking for one, as for your comment, i was commenting on the first few comments, the moment the guy asked for help ppl started to throw opinions on him without actually give him what he asked for, anyways have a nice day.
