Description
Finally the model is done... I would not say 100% done, but at least is useable now. I couldn't find her dirty/bloddy skin texture maps in on the web, and I'm still struggling searching for them in the game files using the RIP tool, but until then, I'll have to keep doing more "clean Lara" artworks.

For those who have interest in the technical stuff:
The skin shader was developed in Blender Cycles, and uses a complex representation model, similar to Arnold Renderer skin shading system, simulating all layers (dermis epidermis and hypodermis), and the ways they interact with light. For comparison purposes, the model on the left, uses simple shaders, and renders in about 30min on my CPU at 4000 samples, the right one uses my skin shaders, which looks amazing, but renders in about 2 hours on my CPU at 4000 samples (Unfortunately, my GPU can't handle rendering this model, because of the 2GB limitation). Also, as you can see, I've modelled new eyes, because the original models were breaking the realism. So I've puted alot of work and time on it, and came up with a much more satisfying result. Also I've finished her facial rig, It's very rough at the moment, and have lots of errors when doing some extreme poses, but I will fix them as soon as possible. For the moment, they work just fine.
