Half-Life 2: Remade Assets Definitive Edition - Part 3

Our Goal

As long-time members of the community, we’re excited to give something back!

Built from scratch by die-hard Half-Life fans, Half-Life 2: Remade Assets aims to provide the Source 2 community with a variety of high-quality assets. Our assets and prefabs are built from the ground-up for VR gameplay, and contain assets that are both direct remasters of those found in the Half-Life 2 trilogy, and entirely original assets themed around Half-Life’s world, all designed to provide variety and further flesh out the setting.

As a tight-knit group of talented individuals from a number of unique backgrounds, we always strive for perfection and aim to perfect our craft. Half-Life 2: Remade Assets represents an enormous undertaking for everybody involved, and we continue to improve every day. With each pack that’s released, we look forward to raising the bar ourselves, and seeing what the community creates with what we’re able to give.


Features

Half-Life 2: Remade Assets is designed in a way that’s intended to make it as easy as possible to use, while providing the highest quality assets. Features include:

• Matching file paths from Half-Life 2, allowing for easier porting of Source 1 .vmfs
  
• Assets designed with VR gameplay in mind, including:
  
• Handposes for assets where we expect player interaction
  
• Interactive prefabs for assets such as cabinets and drawers, desktop items, and other machinery
  
• Additional original assets themed around the Half-Life world
  
• Including assets that were originally brushwork or textures in Source 1, given new life and made VR-ready in current-gen Source 2
