I've pretty much decided to continue this project after a hold of 1 year or so. Right now all of the reskins make use of phong shading.
The camouflage patterns are custom made, mainly to try and let it blend into the HL2 environment.
Now for the render screenshots, please keep in mind that this was rendered with the material settings on low because somehow my model viewer won't render the materials on high.

UPDATES:
If you've got any suggestion then do post it.

Yeah I love the gaymo (gay camo) it fits perfectly to every environment!

Also I love the bump maps which i use now about one year.

Aaand the digital flecktarn I requested.

The phong on the cloth is really weird looking, but luckily it can be easily removed. Everything else is sex as always Zeem.

My god this looks terrible. It looks like you just sharpened it to hell.

I hope that's sarcasm, Zeem 't is gewoon geweldig!

dude what's with the $$$ Camo

It's his way of being funny.

You've obviously never seen a real sharpened texture then.

As stated before, Zeem is the motherfucking king of Combine.

this is over sharpened.

Etch-a-sketch, to me.

Looks great, as always Zeem. How'd you make the digital camo, though?

I want to bear your babies.

Excellent work Zeem, I especially like that Episode I soldier.

If there's anything that's awesome it's this.

I've updated the first post with the camouflage patterns I've used and a desert soldier.



Green is for the money and gold is for the honey!

Custom made out of a picture of camouflage. If you want to have the .psd then just ask.

Yummy skins, very nice!

Those were rendered on low?
I disbelieve it

Awesome.

Super awesome!

Now they simply need... laser vision.

I'm pretty sure you didn't make The 4th Combine in the screenshot. It looks way to similar to Marcius' Combine Skull Breaker, or Romka's remake of the Skull Breaker. Minus some crappy sharpening filters...

oh my god

i think i'm in love babaay

You should bet your ass he did. There's only so much you can do with those color schemes, so of course it'll look similar.

Hexed?

I've made all of them myself, I don't steal from other people.
Yes.

Stop using the name Skullbreaker, it makes no sense, Romka made it up.

Who are you to be telling us what to do? And methinks you should leave this thread considering you apparently dislike these skins.

He did not, it's an actual VALVe name for the soldier, which actually is now seen as "the shotgun soldier" in ep2.
But, nice skins nevertheless.

Nice, like the new skin you did. You gotta give me some few tips on skining some day.

Could you do the episode 2 shotgun soldier?

How ya make the camo?

do you think it's possible to make these unhexed?

i want to use them as my defaults :D

I've encountered problems with the Elite's fingerposing in GMod 10:



Only the top-half of the larger part of the webbed hands clench. The index finger is alright, and so are the hands on all the other ragdolls.

This is due to the rigging done on the Elite's hands. It might have been intentional by Valve, but I'm not sure.

FadeAway, I really don't see what that has to do with this topic...these are reskins, not remodels.

On topic, Zeem, these are quite plainly bad-ass. Though I typically find digital camo to typically look like total crap, you managed to have it look damn good, if your HLMV renders are any judgement!

These skins are amazingly well done

You're the god of hi-res.

They're hexed reskins, technically making them separate models from the defaults.

They're still the same model as you well know. He obviously hasn't rerigged them.

All good apart from that purple one and that money one. Make the money actually blend and have shadows and texture and it's all good.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean he changed any of the model's aspects. The problem you have is with the base model, which he didn't change at all.

Right now I'm working on a complete update, mostly improvement on the phong shading and an easier way of downloading, instead of downloading a whole pack I'll upload base files and then you can easily download the reskins you want, of course I'll keep on updating a complete pack that includes all.



Download is in the first post.

There's no need for that when you can duplicate the .vmt files and rename them to the originals.

There seems to be a problem with the elite's model it's self, I can't fix that.

What do you mean with that?

Holy shit!



Thanks! :D
