This Tomb Raider UE5 Cinematic Video Featuring Angelina Jolie and Christoph Walz is Impressive

A new Tomb Raider UE5 cinematic video has been released featuring fan favorites Angelina Jolie and Christoph Waltz.

Created by digital artist 'Lorenzo_CGI', this 'The Last Revelation teaser tribute' is a short cinematic video in Unreal Engine 5.3, and it looks really impressive. In the video, we can see Angelina Jolie portraying Lara Croft and Christoph Waltz portraying Mr Von Croy. No AI or deepfakes were used in order to create this video, which might make it even more impressive. "For this project, I used texturing xyz for the skin texturing, and for the hair cards for Lara I used ( with some retouch) the hair from 3d scan store", the artist writes. "For the creation of the environment, I tried to replicate the environment of the game, with some differences, with the help of the assets from Megascan."
