Resistance members set an ambush for the Combine in the abandoned outskirts of City 17. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A very short explanation behind this custom Combine model for my fellow obsessive weirdos. As stated in the intro it's 1 year after the events of HLA and 4 before HL2; and so I wanted to create something that could be the missing link between the wallhammer and HL2 shotgunner. That is the long and short of it. I hope I managed to find a good balance with the design and it comes off as “believable“ given the context. This project itself started out as a “Hey let's make a very short trailer for my custom Combine model“ so it obviously grew into the most complex project I've done so far. In all honesty it did not came together as good as I imagined, but I'm still incredibly proud with what I managed to cobble together here. If anything, visually I think this is the best I've gotten out of Source 2 so far. I realize gray isn't everyone's cup of tea. I like it very much. YouTube compression unfortunately really didn't like the low-light uniform color pallette interior scenes and they look quite horrible in places. I did tests with several different codecs, bitrates etc and these are the best results. I'm looking into options to host my videos somewhere where I can provide the uncompressed files, but due to how big these videos are I haven't yet landed on a solution. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I'd like to thank everyone who helped me out on this project. Firstly, my current and past patrons and everyone else who donated through other channels. You helped fund a lot of what went into this and lifted a lot of stress for not uploading squat for 4 months. Fabian Brandt, who designed the big guy's vocoder. It is just the most glorious thing I've ever heard. Jordan Gottschick for all the feedback, inputs and voice performance. And all the wonderful folks for their voice work.
