Run. Think. Shoot. Live. Source. Black Mesa is the Half-Life 2 total conversion of the original Half-Life game. Utilizing the Source engine and its endless array of possibilities and powers, Black Mesa will throw you into the world that started the Half-Life continuum and introduced Gordon Freeman to the world as a gun-toting, bullet-dodging Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics.

This was one of my favorite set pieces in Half-Life, so it's cool to see it remade in Source. :D
And the Black Mesa team did a great job remaking it at that!
black mesa team...
sounds awefully similar to the guys that ****** up in new mexico doesnt it?
lol
but yeah they did do a really good job at it
did you know the black mesa building is based off of a place in New Mexico?
(buried)
No, sorry, it's not. It's based in an underground government facility in Mesa, Nevada.
no Black Mesa new mexico is a place
Black Mesa is in New Mexico.
it's nice to see that there's a good mesa in the background!
Based off anywhere real? cleaned up from the original? made up?
its based off photos of New Mexico
It's terragen, lol.
Excellent, the skybox is just perfect!
And I love the idea to remake the screen like the HL1 one, with the apache firing rockets and the grunt on the bridge :)
Theres tension on the surface... XD Great job!
just OMFG
i came
TOO MUCH INFORMATION
I'll write a dev blog and explain how this was made, but its not based on anywhere real, or cleaned up from the original.
Did you make the skybox, take photos of it, then convert it into a skybox texture?
no. that is real 3d geometry, not a fake flat texture. It's made of displacements using some unique workflow & tools. You'll be able to tell even more in motion, since you see it from different vertical altitudes.
Wow, this brings back memories, superb work!

This one is called le photoshopped.
OMG! AWSOME!
I was really focused on how you guys approached the background so it's not the same as HL-1 graphically.
I just got hard. Nuff said.
Amazing !
Nagyon penge /-D
nem tudtam h magyarok is vannek erre xD
uita unguru'.
In Source, you can create 3d skyboxes by making items/geography/models in 1/16th scale so it uses less resources.
In other words, the mesa's them self where made in hammer in the same map as the playable area is.
Looks great, awesome use of the skybox camera.
The guy hanging from the Ospray, where's he trying hop off? or is he only gonna dangle from the ropes?
The level of talent is overwhelming, you should seriously consider profesional 3D Modeling as a career.
I'd like to talk with the leader of this mod.
Nice remake, VERY GOOD JOOB !
You give new life to the screenshot)))
I hereby declare this mod: 'Very om nom'
i think my favorite part of this scene is the BRIDGE, simply amazing brushwork they got going there, with a mixture of those hl2 wooden plank props. musta been a pain in the butt to make.
Well, I made the bridge originally out of brushes to get the shape and positions etc, then DXF converted it and passed it onto a modeller to convert it. Currently it's a placeholder until we get a higher resolution texture on it. This was a shot I put together over a weekend for PCGamer, but they didn't get it in time, so the bridge was fairly quickly put in.
U jsut gotta love that scenery
OMG....
i r did came just now..
That's just epic man. But oh no! I can't enjoy the scenery because I'M BEING SHOT AT!
ha
SWEET!
Ah they made the Ossprey more relistic, the troops drop out the back not the sides. great work
Who cares. Its how it was in the original
The osprey was in concept/prototype phase of production when HL was made, sot that is why it had door in the sides, not the back.
Good loking but this helicopters rocket can kill friendly soldiers too :)
Wow nice skybox !!!
honestly dude... if you get hard just by looking at a picture of a video game.. something really needs to change.
This game to download is gonna be freaking massive!
I creamed my pants
I! LOVE! THIS! <3 I could cry when looking at this, its so great.
Looks amazing! I can't wait for the mod! Release date?!
