I mod for a bunch of games, mainly Half-Life. I excel at editing models, not coding or mapping, I suck at both. I also can do basic texture editing in Photoshop. It comes as no surprise that Half-Life is my favorite game. I come across as a boring guy, I don't watch movies, TV shows, Anime or read Manga, Japanese culture is vile anyway. Limited interests, one may say. Most games I play have existed way before I was even born. My music taste is a bit different than your average Joe's, I listen mostly to Synthwave and Witch House, Electronic music put it simply. My favorite band is Crystal Castles, I didn't find peace in their songs, only depression, self-hatred, nostalgia and a thirst for days of yore. Despite all of this, their songs is what I enjoy the most, even when they had made my mental life worse, brought me solace however. It's what I'd take over Rock, Metal or whatever the frick a normal person listens to. This has turned into a rant, sorry.
I don't think I'll be adding anymore. 14 heads + their African-American versions equals 28 total heads!
This concludes my longest modeling project, running since 2020.
Looks great
Thanks.
Amazing work. Eventually add a hecu abc mask grunt wearing a white helmet like it is the case with the ld models. and the iconic black sarge with his cigar in his mouth is missing. Add that and it'll be beyond perfection. :)
criticism:
The grunt in the middle bottom looks as if he wears a Russian helmet. Not sure about him.
What happened to their radios they used to wear. It looks odd without them.
ABC Mask? Isn't that the default gasmask from Op4? I tried making a white helmet but couldn't get it right and I don't want to borrow textures from other's work
I was thinking of using the HD demoman from TFC...
As for the black sarge with cigar, I think it would look out of place, I try to maintain a level of consistency between the heads plus I'm gonna need to make a white version which is hard for me.
The grunt in the middle is wearing an M1 helmet, I know it doesn't fit and it's obsolete. WW2 helmet used in 200-.
I don't get what you mean by radios tbh, the texture you mean?
Actually, thanks for your comment. Draws a smile on my face seeing my work complimented. Wanted to contact you regarding mapping work but I forgot lol
Yeah I meant the little radio texture or walkie talkie.
I fail to see why the guy with the cigar in his mouth would feel out of place with the remaining heads seeing how that face also was an integral part of Hl1 since day1. Anyway it's up to you. Making the face white can indeed become tricky but surely not impossible. I did the exact same thing as you did btw. Just with HD heads but unlike you I didn't create them myself. I downloaded many model packs in the early 2000 and dumped them on my HD. Much of the work can't get obtained anymore nowadays it's still sad seeing how I didn't copy the readme files thus being unable to identify each authors work.
Sure feel free to ask me regarding mapping. This page here is also a perfect spot for any mapping related questions, prefabs and even tutorials and a forum with people answering your specific questions.
