A new in game model ?!

 

[slicktick]

I dont know if it is from HL2, I have seen the model on that site before, but I never thought anything of it.

 

[A True Canadian]

It's a cool model none-the-less.

 

[Cybernoid]

An assassin? Beats me.

 

[PvtRyan]

It isn't a HL2 model, I'm pretty sure of it. I think I've seen that model in an old promo vid about the realtime shader capabilities of XSI.

 

[Brian Damage]

It's specifically in the section on the version of EXP for HL2.

Certainly interesting looking, whatever it is. Some kind of robot, judging from the proportions.

 

[Jadewolf5675]

Could be an assassin of some sort.

 

[Bicka]

A robot with green scaley skin??

Please don't let that be in HL2 :'(

 

[Sprafa]

As stated above :

Please don't let that be in HL2 ;(

 

[Dead-Inside]

I pretty much hated the original assassins, they'd just get me mad.. :/

 

[Vegeta897]

What is with this assassin notion? What makes you think that? Because it looks skinny?

And no, I am almost positive it is NOT from Half-Life 2.

 

[<RJMC>]

first that not the HL2 stile (in my opinion)
also is not looks whit the HL2 graphics

so maybe is not from HL2

 

[Jadewolf5675]

Because it looks skinny?

Yeah pretty much

And that its got a black outfit

Cool, i thought it was only me.

 

[kaf11]

no, the assasins were badass in the original and i am looking forward to their return. and i too am hoping that those arent from HL2, and im almost certain theyre not. they look nothing like the concept art, and i know that the concept pieces arent much to go on, but thats what i imagine them to come out like.

 

[Vegeta897]

AND the fact that we would have heard SOMETHING about this if Valve released a new enemy. Or ally. Whatever.

The 'new' model appears to be from a Softimage tutorial program. The 'Softimage Tutorial Bank'.

 

[Dalith]

Mechagodzilla is right.
The boomblaster is also in the tutorial bank on the hl2 section, OMG IT'S A NEW MONZTER?!?!?

Actually it isn't in the section for the HL2 stuff. Its for the section of the learning center. Of the 4 things you can click on just below the picure, only 1 has something from hl2. and thats the g-man.

Yes, like I said earlier, I've seen a video of this one a while back showing off the realtime shader properties of XSI.

It's not a hl2 model, it's obvious. Or else the in-game character models of the combine wearing the gas mask would be as shiny as that. Also, if you hover over the half-life 2 part, they show alyx's model as an example.

 

[Varsity]

That's way too crap design-wise to be from HL2. It is nicely modeled, though.

Gee, I click the link and what do I see? I see the "EXP for Half Life 2" tab selected, and I see "EXP for Half Life 2" written right underneath "SOFTIMAGE|XSI"...

Maybe it isn't a HL2 model, but one could forgiven for thinking so from reading the text...

 

[Dile]

Its from an old XSI texturing tutorial.
