Tomb Raider 2013 - Lara Objects

This guide lists all the Lara objects being used by the game, and in which situation. This can help you figure out which Lara instances you'll need to modify if you want to make modifications to Lara's model (it is not needed to replace all these models if you're porting a custom model and only want one model being used for the whole game).

Default Outfit

Object Info
v1_lara "Innocent" Player, only used in the Model Viewer, unused otherwise
cine_v1_lara "Innocent" Cinematic, used in the very first in-game cutscene, where Lara is swimming in the sea getting to the shore
v2_lara "Inexperienced" Player, used for gameplay right after the cutscene where Lara finds the radio and Sam's backpack. Gameplay will use this model, while cutscenes will continue using cine_v2_lara (the game may use the gameplay model sometimes instead)
cine_v2_lara "Inexperienced" Cinematic, used during the entire beginning section of the game, both gameplay and cutscenes
v4_lara "Advanced" Player, used right after the section mentioned in cine_v4_lara
cine_v4_lara "Advanced" Cinematic, used for all cutscenes playing from the one where Lara successfully escapes the plane wreck falling down
v5_lara "Survivor" Player, used for gameplay right after the section mentioned in cine_v5_lara
cine_v5_lara "Survivor" Cinematic, used for all cutscenes playing from the one where Roth and Lara survive the helicopter crash

Modifying the mesh files of v1_lara, v2_lara and v5_lara will affect the Model Viewer as well
