Quote from DanielAragonim surprised it looks so good.not that i doubt your skills or anything which are obviously good, but you said the original hl2 buggy had 4k polies and this one has roughly half. tbh this one looks much smoother in places. the original looked downright boxy in some places.
The polycount will be about 5000 once I get it into HL2. Right now 3dsmax is only counting faces, not triangles.
PakRat is a graphical frontend for bspzip, which allows you to add whatever you want to the bsp file. You can get it here : http://www.geocities.com/cofrdrbob/pakrat.html
Singleplayer, of course. Pressing the spacebar is for suckers.
Awesome, congrats!
Aw shucks, how could I forget System Shock 2?
HL/HL2, Deus Ex, Fallout2, C&C Red Alert, DOD, Duke3d.
Looking good, except for the shadow-problems in the second screenshot (pitch black wall and roof).
When was the last time you used Steam? I haven't had any problems with it for a long time, except for some wacky steam validation ticket problem when i try to run a map directly from the console.
Hooray for more HL2 singleplayer! Looking forward to playing your mod.
Have you run buildcubemaps?
Love this show. At first I thought Karl was the fat guy from The Office.
Quote from ReNothe car looked utter balls to be honest, even with it's "openable bits"
It was pretty funny how you could open the trunk and pop the hood, but the door wasn't openable 
Not a very impressive video for sure, but damnit I liked Sin, so I'm sure I'll enjoy this as well. Hopefully it will be a solid shooter overall.
Also, I wonder how much content you get from Valve if you buy the Source engine. Alot of the stuff looks like its taken directly from HL2, like the health recharger, the movement of the helicopter-thingy (looks just like the movement of the Combine gunship), burning barrels, headcrabs etc.
And wow, they sure like burning people at Ritual. I think this video sets a new record of people igniting.
Looks really cool, I like the varied house-designs. Looking forward to playing it.
If you increase the strength of the white/blue lights on the side of the walls it would look better I think. Right now it's a bit too dark as ferret said. The architecture (from what I can see) looks good though.

I'm wondering the same thing actually, but I think it's ok since all the individual objects will be attached before exporting (except animated stuff).
If you look at the HL2 models, you can see alot of overlapping faces and such, so I guess it doesn't really matter.
That's a good idea, RD. But I'm not planning on changing the buggy code, so I have to make it within the HL2 settings.
Yeah, I have the same problem. Pretty annoying stuff.
Hey, I'm working on a HL2 singleplayer project now and then. Here's a replacement veichle for the HL2 buggy. It's a riding mower with supercharger and turret-mounted 50 cal machinegun. I'm just about done with it, although it will have chickenwire on the front of the roll-cage so I need to add some planes there.
Current 3dsmax polycount is 2542. The HL2 buggy was around 4000 total.

The intended player POV.
I'll try to skin it myself, although hopefully I can talk someone into doing it for me :E
