is pretty cool. for some reason i sort of like this better than the new model.

fully modeled?

oh yeah wtf

wait lemme check that

I noticed that too, the model is different from other mods like it and the 1.0

I tested this a little bit in HL2 and it looks good on the surface, but I'd like to report an issue with her eyes. Not entirely sure if it's just me or if it's a quirk with having the model be compatible with the episodes, but in the cutscene where she says "Doctor Freeman, I presume?" and she looks over, her eyes aren't looking where they should. If you compare retail HL2 or the HL2 2004 Restoration addon with this addon, you will see what I mean. This is an amazing addon, but if the eyes could be fixed up, this would be the PERFECT addon. Would love to see an update!

fully modeled nostrils

Alright, thanks for your approval ! I'll also be uploading my stitched together 4k texture (separatly of course)

i dont really have plans on uploading to the hl2vr workshops but if u wanna reupload them go ahead, just credit me/link to this one, i honestly cant be bothered rn cuz im lazy LOL

glad you enjoyed the addon! i think the way the new unified hl2 does things is it dynamically switches the mounts ? seems like it since the folders r still structured the exact same way as they were before the 20th anniversary update and it takes a bit to load when you switch games. im p sure the models arent changed either so theres no way they couldve added skingroups to make the different textures change. and yeah i didnt replace alyx's face texture to make the compatibility with episode 1 better since that one has the scar on her brow. also yeah im like p sure the vmts for the healing model's materials point directly to the textures her post healing model already uses anyways so i didnt change anything there besides iirc changing the material to get rid of phong for 2004 accuracy i think

(Steam doesn't like comments longer than 1000 characters...)
I've managed to put it in the custom folder, and not make the base 4k upscaled textures override yours (I also modified the 4k texture to fit the 2004 uv), but directly having a workshop addon would be nice, anyway, have a good rest of your day/night ! (And thank you again for this addon)

I found it ! It IS used, after searching a bit I found it's used only in the healing sequence, the only difference with "hunted" apart from some extended bits on her pants and jacket, is that there is no blood on her shirt, at least the most visible part, but yeah the vmt still references the "hunted" texture, maybe a mistake ? Who knows. While browsing through files I also found a special texture for her face in ep1, but as I noticed afterwards, your addon doesn't change the face texture, so there's no problem with that, but it did make me wonder, now that the 3 games are unified, how can you make the same model have different textures depending on the episode ? Something in the vmt redirecting to another texture maybe ?
Anyway, this comment is already too long, though I wanted to ask you one last question, could you upload this addon on the HL2VR, EP1 and 2 workshops ? (I'm pretty sure you don't need vr for that)

yeah i found those textures while making this, it was unused and the vmts just reused the other texture iirc so i just did the same

Just checked again, the vmt is here, but not the vtf, and it redirects to the "hunted" texture.

Hey, I was wondering, why isn't there a "interior" texture ?

Never noticed her model was updated when episode 1 was released

KInda wish there was a way to get the face/head of the original 2004 model but with the body of the 2006 one

Still, this mod is great!

Perfection

her model was updated when episode 1 released

Was the model updated in episode 1 or 2?

she kinda looks like my mom in the original 2004 model

I really prefer her 3D model being closer to her face model, thanks for making one for ep2 as well.
