You can use the "Character Pimper" to switch between HD models and original VALVE models. The Hires models faces are looking right.īy default most of the optional HD-models are disabled. This little glitch will be fixed with the next version. With HDR enabled in HL2 some of the faces of the OLD ORIGINAL VALVE CIVILIAN models are appearing too bright sometimes. Some of the map-settings aren't final (i'm still at the fine-tuning phase) Its some kind of super-enhanced bloom that gives a near-HDR look on the old HL2 maps. This type of bloom is much more realistic than the old bloom mini-mod, because the effect is controllable inside the map for different settings at certain locations. Technically i've used clientcommand entities and tonemapcontrollers to achieve a hdr-like type of blooming on those maps. For all other maps i used a technique, that i call "Entity injection". Not all HL2 maps are true HDR, because not all sources are available. Almost all textures reworked or updated Refresh the look and feel with optional new HD models Complement the storyline with the unused content from the original games

Replace the low-resolution textures with high resolution counterparts and more detailed environments (hires melones!)

Complement the atmosphere with a emotional cinematic music soundtrack, that fits the action on the screen Give the HL2 trilogy a more stressed, darker and minatory look Raise the quite outdated graphical appearance to a state-of-the-art level Remember to activate "High Quality" graphic settings in the options dialog.
