Shader Showcase Antlion

A Source Engine Slideshow on AMDs website showcases a version of the antlion from after the beta leak but before the final game released. This version of antlion had an exaggerated normal map.

On New Years 2023, a set of hl2 assets leaked, including this version of the antlion's textures. This mod takes the antlion mesh from the beta, the animations from Episode 2 (for episodic support,) and the normal map from this leak to give us this lost version of antlion.

Since spheremaps are no longer supported natively in modern source, I instead found the average color of the antlion spheremap and used it as the envmap tint for cubemaps. I think this is better in the longrun than having an envmap of its own.

Does not include the "specular factor" from the normal map simply because I prefer the base map, but I encourage you to switch it by adding "$normalmapalphaenvmapmask 1" to the vmt file if you want to see it like that.

I also implemented the leak gibs. Some of them have messed up collisions, but I do not plan to fix this. Enjoy.
