Using Subsurface Scattering (SSS), the artists have managed to give Lara’s skin a lifelike quality, capturing the sweat, dirt, and scars of a grueling expedition.

Unlike the more grounded approach of recent games, this 3DCG project leans into the supernatural and the mythical. Lara isn't just fighting mercenaries; she is navigating a living, breathing ecosystem where the statues themselves seem to watch her every move. Technical Mastery: The "3DCG" Aesthetic
