HL2 Refracting Eyes (Replacement)

Description
Let me get a good look at you man...

Something i wanted to do when i started to dabble into eye shaders more, for those that dont know, HL2 character models use a older eye shader compared to the eyes of later source characters, minus the Vortigaunt, who had his eyes updated to use the newer system in EP2, the human character models never got this treatment even when HL2 and EP1 were updated to the Orange Box branch of Source which supported these shaders.

I spent several hours converting all the HL2 eyes into refracting ones with tweaks to make them look accurate to their normal unmodified eyes, and also included extra converted normally unused eyes as a modders resource for those that care to use these.

No upscales, no default refracting eyes (as those are in a completely different style), all based on valve made textures, uncompressed.

If you like what i do, send me some dosh. [www.paypal.com]

Yeah that's the thing, I saw it and I figured why not get it to work lmfao

Oh and its also funny because thats what the EyeRefract shader was supposed to do, but its unfinished and broken.

Be my guest

Yo gunslinger, is it alright with you if i use your work as a demo for a material proxy i made? It basically just dilates the pupils based on how much light the entity's receiving

Could you upload this to the HL2 or HL2VR workshop?

Valve made a lot of unused pupil textures from HL2s development, seems they wanted to introduce a lot of variety in character eyes before settling on only the main characters having unique pupils.

Most of those are from unused in the files (mostly citizen folder) or from the HL2 Leak, bar the stripped soldier eyes which were made by Rusty and i adapted to be refract eyes.
