I find nothing wrong with the facemap except his hair is way too shiny. Tone it down on the hair a bit, then add some scrapes and bruises and stuff like Gestapo said and it'll be perfect.

On the normal map's alpha, his hair's completely black, so it shouldn't look like that...
[QUOTE=Dr. Gestapo;39098107]The hair doesn't look right. It looks as if someone painted it in his forehead. He could also use some more bruises and cuts and all that jazz.[/QUOTE]
Maybe he doesn't have time to take care of his hair during the apocalypse? :v:
He looks older btw.

Please note that the hair is actually going to be '3D' like hair in modern games, once we get a character modeler- Anyone know of anyone that's good at doing characters/organic models that'd like to help?
His eyes should be less... Wide open.
he's shell shocked that ep3 hasn't been released yet

Looks like you enabled rimlight.
[QUOTE=Fat-Corgi-Guy;39078483]HL2: Enhanced is already the name for another mod: [url]http://www.moddb.com/mods/hl2-ep2-enhased-mod[/url]
Though his is just about effects and guns, ours is the whole kit and caboodle.[/QUOTE]
Mate I wouldn't worry about it, I don't think that guy has any clue what his mod is actually called... Just look at it;
URL : hl2-ep2-enhased-mod
Title : ENHANCED MOD
First line : Half-Life 2 : Episode 2 - Enhanced
Hell he's not even touching Half-Life 2... I think you should just ignore that 'thing' and go with whatever sounds best ;)
[QUOTE=Game Zombie;39099100]Looks like you enabled rimlight.[/QUOTE]
On this note, rimlight is really ugly in non-cartoony scenes, you should stay away from it IMO
[QUOTE=Game Zombie;39099100]Looks like you enabled rimlight.[/QUOTE]
That's the thing- it's NOT enabled. Yet it's producing the shininess.

or it must be tightly controlled so that it's only barely noticeable
for everything else there's $phongfresnelranges [x x 7]
Don't know if we were serious about the banner designs earlier, but here's mine :v:

[B]Ok, well, I tweaked his face texture a bit, and I attempted to get some better pictures of Barney:[/B]

[QUOTE=Fat-Corgi-Guy;39100140] [Corgi's sexy Barney pics] [/QUOTE]
His eyes follow me around the room, kinda creepy..
The eyes look really out of place in that light. I'd suggest adding a fleshy hue to his eyes; real human eyes are never that white.

The scratch on his face looks too old to me, like it's already healed. I feel like it should be more red and "fresh" looking.
You guys are doing hires skyboxes too right?
Personally, I think his skin should be a bit more flaky and grundgey. It's too smooth and a tad unnatural looking.
Will you guys improve the view from the citadel? It's one little detail, but for me it bugs the hell out of me.
What I mean is, look at this.

It's literally going into the fucking clouds.
And look at this
[t]http://images.wikia.com/half-life/en/images/2/23/Citadel_View.jpg[/t]
Okay, you can see some clouds from up there, but it's just a pet peeve of mine that the skyline/view just seems too low.
Also, the skybox doesn't match with it, the view looks like it's night, but the sky is still somewhere around 5-6 pm.

Maybe because it's an alien building in a city raided by alien forces. I forgive the atmosphere being weird at times like these.
No, really, i like the way it is. Feels like something is out of place.

i never understood the skybox actually

to me it's like, where did the lights come from? why is it so dark when there's still enough sun and why is it so flat
this part loses the immersion quite a bit, but don't get me wrong! I got so much into this game's atmosphere thanks it's just for a few seconds and doesn't mind too much
after that it just feels like you're so high from the sky and it's just awesome when you get to the breen's room/afterwards
If I had to fix something there, I'd make the clouds more realistic and maybe add little 3D buildings down there.
Pretty sure people have made some pretty realistic clouds with the particle editor.

Something like Mirror's Edge's skybox would look really good IMO (Minus all the perfect colors and buildings)

Left 4 Dead had some pretty decent skyboxes as well.

Strelok always does a good job on remaking stuff. Their work on HL:S is very good too.
I don't know but Barney should look a bit more dirtier? I'm not sure. He could look too much dirty.
[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;39101491]You guys are doing hires skyboxes too right?[/QUOTE]
Yep
On another note- does anyone happen to know a good way to create grungy/dirty faces in Jasc Paintshop Pro or Photo Shop? My attempts just turn out looking like shading mostly...
