Default Project: Halflife 2 for Sims 2
i'm just starting to make some halflife 2 characters for the sims2:
-gordon freeman in his suit (based on the astronaut suit with modified textures)
-Alyx Vance(i'll try to make her clothes like in the game)
-Barney in combine suit (based on the astronaut suit with modified textures)
-Eli vance (can't make his fake leg though :/ )
-alyx's dead mother (wont be available, it will be just in the genealogy tree.. just have to make alyx and modify her a little since they look almost the same in the family picture in the game)
-gordon parents (wont be available, it will be just in the genealogy tree, if i can find some informations and/or pictures of them...)
-Dr kleiner (easy)
-G man (easy)
-Dr Breen (easy)
-Dr Mossman (easy too )
-zombies (maybe, but that probably wont be possible because i'd need to make the guy's face like an headcrab )
-Combine soldiers (maybe, same as zombie cuz the mask will maybe be hard to do)

sooo after making all the characters i'll make a neighbourhood with sim city 4, that will be City 17, then importe it into sims 2 then i'll make the important places like black mesa east nova prospekt, combine citadel.. ect.. (maybe using halflife2's textures, especially for the citadel's walls witch.. is not.. going to be very.. tall.. lol )

then i'll create the families!
-the Freeman family: with gordon and his parents, i'll make him live from his childhood to his job as a scientist
-the Vance family: with alyx, eli and his wife, alyx will start from her childhood too
-the combine family: with some combine soldiers and dr breen
-the G man family: with the G man (duh!)
-the Mossman family: with dr mossman (re-duh!)
-the scientists family: with dr kleiner and some scientists (thoses scientists will die though )
-the Calhoun family: with barney (and maybe the fat barney there was in blue shift, but i would need to make a security guard texture for this one..)
-the zombie family: with a lot of zombies

there would also be some community lots were you could see people talking to zombie sims (i'll make them hate everyone , and the combine soldiers too )

HEV suit Work in progress

i managed to extract textures from halflife 2 so i'm using them :p

i'm (almost) done with the front (i still have to add some details and stuff) now i'm texturing the back ^^

i'll keep this thread updated as i make the characters and stuff.

does someone know how to make normal maps, and if i can use one on that astronaut suit?
is it possible to modify the model with a program?

i really want to make something great, unlike thoses "things" i found like:

http://thesims2.ea.com/exchange/sim_detail.php?asset_id=110497&search=1&asset_type=sim&key=&order=RATING+desc&nrows=50&age=&gender=&custom=&locality=&country=&view=

what the hell is that? that's not the HEV suit lol
(wondering why it's top rated...)

maybe after making all that i'll do the citizens and the rebels (still by using textures from hl2 ^^ )

That's a great idea, but if only there was a different good suit to use other than the Astronaught one, as it makes them look a bit too bulky. As for Barney, should use the SWAT one instead or something, as it'd make more since

yeah you are right, the swat suit is better for barney and metrocops, but for the combine soldiers i'll still use the Astronaut ^^

Alright, but my point still stands that there needs to be a better clothing option for the HEV suit, what you have already is great, but the HEV suit isn't that bulky. If it was possible to remove the spikes from the SuperVillain outfit, that one might actually work best.

Actrually, there is a pack of Halflife characters out there already. Only not with the in game clothing. I think it looks ok, just have to add the texture for the suit

shadow>> when there will be a tool to modifie the clothes models i'll modify it, but for now the Astronaut suit seems to be the best option for the HEV since the other suits are not bulky enough:



i wish i could remove thoses annoying buttons :/

staind>> i think i know what pack you are talking about, but thoses seems to have incorrect relationships (like everyone hate the Gman... or like Dr Breen... >.< ) they dont have the game clothing like you said and some of them look weird (the Gman face for example is not supposed to look like a sim alien face )

sooo do you guys know how to make normal map? :p

The relation thingy can be modify by simpe, I think. I think Gman looks okay, just need a few minor ajustment, notthing big.

I wouldn't make any people that doesn't appear! Like Alyx's mother! Maybe she comes in HL3!
Gordon never smiles and he should be silent all the time! Alyx has got more smaller eyes, nearly japanese, and some freckles or "unclean" skin! Also she got something in her hair (dunno the english word [Haarreifen]) and some hairspray in her hair!

ok.. NOW i think i'm almost done with Alyx lol
as you can see on the attached screenshots i modified the normal map and changed some stuff, now i have to look at the hair if i can do something about it but i doubt it, and i have to flatten the jean a little cuz it's too.. bumpy lol

ooh and the other screenshots show some clothes i made yesterday for fun

edit: can't make that thing on her hair :/
bah, i'll make it when we will be able to edit objects ^^

sooo i'll put thoses online after christmas, i dont know why i couldn't upload them here but it doesn't matter since they were not completely done, they will be also available on the official Website (and i think i'm going to get a nice little cup with a lot of stars for thoses :x )

wow, I can't wait to get those skins. So far, I think that they look AMAZING. Good work, and keep it going! :bow: :bow:

Warlord: What do you mean you couldn't upload here? Just start a new thread in downloads-clothing and outfits and attach the skins in the download manager section. They won't show up immediately though they have to be approved by a moderator.

Anyway I really your skins look great Did you manage to get the shine happening on the HEV suit?
