[PM/NPC] Valve Gordon Freeman Remake

Probably the closest thing we'll ever get to a proper "Valve Gordon" model, I present the byproduct of my descent into madness after thinking this would be an easy task and just remaking a few textures. I WAS WRONG.

This model was made originally based off the item suit model, and I had compared it between retail & beta hl2 versions only to end up stumbling down a massive rabbit hole of design decisions and changes that seem to continue to shift even up to the most recent release of Half-Life: Alyx. So I ended up just picking elements for what would appear here in order of priority for accuracy to retail Half-Life: 2 with consideration for differences which appear in post-hl2 media as well as content which made seemingly no sense to be removed from the beta (aka the charging port back). The textures originate from unfinished versions left in Half-Life 2 leak files, which I then set out to finish myself & recreate anything missing by hand. I limited myself to tools and methods Valve would have been using back in the era to help keep it as accurate as possible.

Yes, this model also supports faceposing.
The Draconic Base is used for better rendering functions on the materials such as its cubemap system, and also provides a custom background for its playermodel selector.
If you would like either a HL2 replacer for the suit model, or a bonemergable version for posing/animating: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3007068940
