Enhanced Survivor Gordon Freeman

Here's the Gordon Freeman model from Half-Life 2: Survivor, a Japan-only arcade version of Half-Life 2. I did what I could to fix and enhance this to more modern standards as the original was plagued with issues.

FEATURES:

- Full face, eye, and finger posing.
- Numerous rigging and mesh fixes from the original mesh. Including fixed IK chains.
- Improved facial mesh detail, Added phong shading and face normal map.
- Enhanced face textures built from the original high-res texture.
- Optional Left 4 Dead eye shaders (selected via skingroups).
- Ragdoll with improved flexibility.
- Level of Detail support, meaning that lower detail meshes will be used at a distance which helps performance.
- Removable glasses.
- Survivor HEV, Romka's HEV, Black Mesa HEV, Citizen, Refugee, and Black Mesa Scientist outfit bodygroups. The refugee outfit is colorable.
- Normal, EP2 and Black Mesa skingroups. Use the Easy Bodygroup Tool to select them or hold C, right click the model and use the "bodygroup" and "skin" options.
- Player model with HEV first person arms. Also includes the above body/skingroups.
- Separate, ragdolled HEV suits and a prop version of the glasses.

NOTES/ISSUES:

- Despite my best efforts, there's still mesh and smoothing issues I can't fix. Notable ones on the face are under the browline, on and around the nose.

- The ragdoll has NPC animations. You can use the Model Manipulator tool on the workshop to make him an NPC out of a citizen if you really want. I will not be making a "real" NPC out of this.

- The fingers on the Survivor HEV suit were all done for the optimized Valve rig. i.e the last three fingers are all rigged to one bone per the stock combine and citizens.

- The Survivor HEV...isn't that good.They never bothered to model the innards of the neck area, there's several smoothing issues, etc. The Black Mesa HEV isn't very well rigged as well.

- The Player Model HEV's aren't colorable because I suck at isolation. Sorry. This is also why I've opted to not allow the FPV arms to be colored.
