I can finally show the project I was working on for the last couple of months: a Tomb Raider 1/2/3/4 level / cutscene viewer (when viewing a level, hit the H key for some help).
In fact, this project did exist for a long time, but I only recently started to work on it again.
The biggest late addition is the TR4 cutscene player. Try to click here:
(if you move the mouse to the bottom of the screen, you will show a video control bar to play with - at the end, hit the HOME key to get back to the cutscene list)
I started this project years ago with Threejs as the 3D engine, but as it does not support particle systems natively, I switched to Babylon (in fact, you can use either of them by selecting the one you want before going for a level).
It’s called TRN2 because TRN was the first iteration, using only Threejs and in plain javascript. TRN2 is written in Typescript and features both Threejs and BabylonJS - in fact, it was my pet project to learn Typescript and some other tools (Visual Studio Code, Webpack, etc)!
It is not polished yet, I should add portal rendering and refactor some code, but I need a break
This is BRILLIANT! I’m amazed that it’s not famous in the TR community. I’m loving exploring through the levels, finding places you cannot get to in the actual games. The T Trex hiding round the corner in The Lost Valley is hilarious!
Its such a great comparison of babylonjs to three too. Seeing how to one translates to the other and also some perf comparison with spectorjs. Evgeni Popov is a god.
