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.
Check out a little can model and texture that I made! I hope you are excited for the upcoming update (February 14, 2015).
Polycount: 20 Quads
Textures: 512x512
512x512 texture for that? Oh my.
Do you think that this is too big or too small?
Doesn't matter how much polygon there is, the only thing is matter is how the result looks like. All i can say don't overdo model, it looks perfect as it is.
Thanks man! Polygons are actually important. You want to have the least amount of polygons while making the model look good. 20 polygons is extremely low (considering that a gun would be around 4000-5000) but the result is pretty good I would say.
>512x512 texture for that? Oh my.
>Do you think that this is too big or too small?
I would say that's way too big. Since any texture on a level requires certain 'space', it's best to leave space for good world textures and such instead of paying a bit too much attention to tiny details.
It has been reduced to 256x256
I 'can' see the appeal.
Pick up the can
Now put it in the trash can
Is the background a map from the mod? By the way, nice can!
The background is a Marmoset skybox. Unfortunately, it is not from the mod.
It would be hilarious if throwing this at combine troops would do like 1 point of damage to them xD It would make a pretty cool lil achievement / Easter egg to kill a metro cop with one of these xD
LOL! That is a great idea. I will write that down and mention it to the others ;P
Eh, I'd prefer it to be just like in the retail: Throw it at the CP, or put it in the trash.
well its still be like the retail as it would only do 1 point of damage so you would have to run around a keep hitting the dude with it for a while before they actually go down :P
Sexy.
i wonder whats inside the can :o
my life is complete
well done!
Thanks man!
One question, is this following the story with the AirEx, with Samuel and Eli Maxwell?
probably
Speaking of that scene, will it be included in the mod? I hope it's still included. If not maybe an easter egg at some point.
super hd can action
I would pick up that can any day.
I really think we need more amazing content like this *TIN CAN*.
