Blimey, those meshes are huge

Anyone know how big the regular ones are?

ha nice, they better have normal mapping and stuff on there

i think it all looks like crap, it looks like the females were dampered with makeup, even though hl2's setting seems to be a rough-enviroment without that crap. look at mossman's mesh:

hi can you say fucking slut. the only pratical use is for fgts to make more sexual poses with now hi-res slut models, and what the hell.. it's not even THAT high res, look at Walther's mesh, it's blurry all over, it looks like he took original and stretched it out. Compared to the other one above, it looks like he took 10 seconds on it, and spend a lifetime to make some glammed up hooker.

It is WIP though dude...

[mikezilla]

yeah these aren't too impressive to me either... alot of different pixel density hackery going on.

also,

why is alyx scarlett johansson?

mikez: for that fgt can beat off to it

I think the skins in the first shot look very nice. Some high res skins can indeed improve the characters a lot, something which I guess most can agree on why they compare the normal g-man and the high res gman in HL2.

The two citizen skins (the black guy being the most impressive) are awesome, perhaps a vision of what we could expect to see in HL3?

To be honest i dont like them. Alyx was much cuter with the old skin.

Looking at the meshes i get the impression that a photoshop newbie just stretched some high res magazine photos over the old skins. If atleast they would fit the atmosphere of hl2 more and wouldnt have the strong lighting and makeup ...

That would be most disappointing, even UE3 can do better than that. But then again, if HL3 will be another resource wise game like HL2 then it just might be true.

Way to photoskinned, and I hate photoskins.

[D3ads]

Yeah but I mean cmon, those citizen skins are fantastic, if anyone says they're shit then I'd love to see you do better!

I agree that the others are kinda shit though just a tad..

[PhilipK]

dont like too much.

various quality on those as well..

[Kosmo]

Well ok, let me be the first one to say, they are ok, they are not great, but they do the job. But they don't fit to HL2 that well, because the body models and textures are way too low quality as it is, and the surroundings too, so they jump out too much.

They do horrible job on keeping everything uniform.

[D3ads]

Oh yeah that's a mute point (huzzah.. Vlad would be proud..), but I meant as a head model and skin by itself it's pretty good, I'd never bother to actually use those in HL2 because it would look silly and kill the atmosphere. Perhaps he will work on enhancing all of the content.. only 3.998GB to go.. Actually that would be insane, the game would be like 10GB
