Raising the Bar is a mod based off of the idea of amalgamating the earliest concepts of Half-Life 2 into a coherent story. This mod is not a leak-fix, nor is it a concept art recreation gallery; it will be a full story with inspiration from the old material as well as our own ideas of how to make it all fit together.
The first version of the industrial street with the vorti-cells(this machine was deleted before the retail version was released, but in the original story this gives energy to the Combine from captured Vortigaunts).
This is beautiful *sheds tear of joy
why must this beautiful (work-in-progress) mod not being progressed???? *Sheds tears of deep sadness.

Well its a try
It's a first version
looks nice!
needs to be a prop rather than brush based, but good any way
Looks good.
is that the vort-cell?
Honestly it is a bit blocky. The glass cylinder looks hard-faceted.
Though it is only a third version of vorti-cell I've seen, so it is a nice start.
P.S. I suspect the cells were rather re-designed than cut. The device in Nova Prospekt is basically doing the same thing to a vort in it.
Wow, excellent atmosphere; I can almost *smell* the beta feel :D
@Cvoxalury Now that I look at it, perhaps the apartment block on the right is a bit overbearing (no side alleys, crevices, openings etc.), but the faceted-ness of the cylinder is alright.
yeah very awesome
Pretty good, but the cell deserves more detail, perhaps having the vortigaunt strapped inside laying back instead of standing.
Looks great but detail-wise, that building's texture is bad.
I mean, you need to create seperate sections of the building so it looks like an actual building, not a brick-wall filled with windows.
Perhaps it's a factory though....
IDK
I think the vorticella could use some work. I think it should be strapped in, so it's not just standing there getting the life sucked out of it.
*whistles out of amazement
Amazing !
