why does this look like a half-life-alyx version of the hunter, also amazing job on remaking the hunter model.

Looks great in tandem with Groundwatch and Improved Hunter FX
*the only problem I get is that the antenna spins in a bunch of random directions, doesn't do anything annoying.

@dvi The hunter claws on its bottom can't be manipulated or extended to full length and it's bend shapekeys at the place of the joints is really strange, check em out. Might be a cool little detail to make a revision on it

@NotInsaneTF2Player there is already mod that does just that. Max I can do is to remake some gibs and that will be it

@John Fistings where exactly

pls do one for the gunship ill give one of my livers to see that

@DVI the two mini claws down there thats been used to harm Alyx Vance. seems like a portion of it doesn't extend like it supposed to

alright

@bubby maybe I will fix that someday

@John Smith what claws exactly?

just a little thing i noticed, the antennae kinda flops around too hard while the hunter is moving

Can you rig the right and left claws to be extended to full extent? Seems they're not interlinked, might've been a nice little change.

yeah I love this model but the antenna keeps me from using it

@gordon fleaman there is already HLA models for strider and maybe HL2 RTX will be soon

ever thought of doing a strider remake?

@The Battler It's not only your problem, it is general problem. I need to edit jiggle physics but I am too lazy to do it.

I have one problem with this. The antenna bone of the model (When used for the NPC) appears to spin around like crazy after too much movement. Is this an issue for anyone else or just me? (It's even weirder because an older instance of the model doesn't have this issue)

hl2 addon*

what happened to the HL2 Model?

@Ɗㄖ丂卄! это сурс физикс, другалёк

антенна оооооочень быстро движется если я его подниму

@. что именно?

у охотника с "антенной" что то не так

@BLACK MAN via bodygroup menu

how can i disable the accessories ???

now i only have to get it in my spawn list whilst having episode 2 bought and downloaded

@Electric Blood Mage yep

@Electric Blood Mage

For choosing compressing method, I looked at this ( https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=807476997 ) guide. And saw that ABGR8888 is almost no compression, so I chose that. But the downside was that I can't use these textures in other source games.

But I will consider changing the compression method + texture resolution change, because I want to optimize it anyway and make it compatible with other source games

ABGR8888 is no compression at all. Which for these high of resolution textures. Compression (DXT1 or DXT5) would help filesize alot without much of a noticeably impact on quality.

@Electric Blood Mage

Ok.

Ikr. Well how else you gonna make textures better without changing the way it looks radically. Also I wanted to do proper flechette texture
edit with my friend, but he is very busy right now. And he is like good at photoshop. So we will make it later probably. But when I realized that you will most likely be seeing low-poly model with 256x512 texture with hi-poly model with 4096x4096 textures, I realized that I need to make at least texture upscale so it won't look pixelated as hell.

Also that "unused" alpha mask makes flechette glow, as I switched to "detail glow" method (you probably know that right) as it is far easier and far more understandable than the selfilum method, and many people that do models for source games use that method, so I decided to use that. Also it is far easier for further editing.

Also realizing I should give like an actual way to improve the mod. Use DXT1 to compress textures that have nothing in the alpha channel. And DXT5 for textures that do have stuff in the alpha channel.

Also compression isn't really noticeable on really noticable on textures at this size which is why you should use it since it'll greatly lower the filesize.

Also you can probably get away with making the flechette texture only 1024x2048 or 1024x1024, it's such a small model that it has no reason to have a massive texture.

"Updated and improved" "700+ megabytes"

Look inside, flechette with a 2048x4096 uncompressed that's just AI upscaled. with an unused and unneeded alpha channel which takes up even more space.
(All the textures are uncompressed with an alpha channel, which none of them seem to use)

Look I know this is supposed to be modern, but I really don't think the filesize needs to be "modern" too.

this is so peak

why is the thumbnail gif so.... 👅👅👅

would

i cant find the model

@farmer john wdym?

are the claws animatable?

guh damn

@₽íxl yeah. But like 95% of the mod's size is textures

700mb goes crazy though

Окей спасибо

@Балбес я выложу модель в мастерскую E:Z2 и HL2 когда доделаю её

Can you make Half life version please?

I confirm that everything is fixed now! Так держать!

In the discussion, начирикал.

@Fuithias what type of errors

Cool model! Unfortunately I have errors too...

fun fact, those three bumps on either side of its head are actually its eyes.

yes
