New media update for Half-Life 2 beta mod Build2001.

Posted by on

Greetings everyone. I'm here today to show you what I've been making past few days.
For some reason internet connection became worse for a week now, I can't upload many images.


I've modeled, more like mapped, few dozen props that I will be using in the mod. It is of course based off of brushwork found in the old 2001 maps and some are directly taken from it. I could've used already existing hl2 or hl2 leak props but because this mod is aiming to create aesthetics of 2001, I gone on my way to create them. This would be achieved easier with just normal brushes but since source bakes lightings in them, it will look odd in certain places.

No other mod as I could remember uses these low-poly props to detail their maps, usually they use more higher, up-to-hl2-standard models. I reckon this will make my mod more distinct from other mods visually further.

There is a possibility I will make these models public assets free to use (with credits).


Props that are now present:

-Barrel01a (Standard barrels with 4 skins for their sides)
-Barrel01b (Above but with top part open)

-Can01a (Medium version of barrel01a)
-Can01b (Medium version of barrel01b)
-Can02a (Smaller version of barrel01a)
-Can02b (Smaller version of barrel01b)

-Cardboardbox01a (Standard square breakable box)
-Cardboardbox01b (Cardboardbox01a but open)
-Cardboardbox01c (Half-size breakable box)
-Cardboardbox01d (Cardboardbox01c but open)
-Cardboardbox01e (Small-size breakable box)
-Cardboardbox01f (Cardboardbox01e but open)
-Cardboardbox02a (Standard square breakable box)
-Cardboardbox02b (Cardboardbox02a but open)
-Cardboardbox02c (Half-size breakable box)
-Cardboardbox03a (Tiny breakable box never seen in leak. 3 skins for sides)

-Computer01a (Commonly seen computers in the leak.)
-Computer01b (Keyboard associated with above.)
-Computer01c (Variation of Computer01a seen in nov_bor_001 polished)

-Crate01a (Standard crate with 2 skins for frosted and a version with different texture)
