Combine Camo Retexture

sketchfab

Combine Camo retexture for Dark Interval mod. This soldier, wearing hazard suit-like armour with active camouflage, was at some point considered for baseline design for Combine troops (so he would be very common). At some other point, he was dubbed Combine Elite (so not so common). He was given a sniper rifle and his animation sets mostly come straight from HECU grunts, from Half-Life 1. The original model, its full, uncorrupted sources, were leaked in 2016. Still, the model was very old, had more in common with HL1 models, it was messy, partially broken, and had like a dozen separate UVs. We redid the UV into two large composites (you can inspect them), fixed some mesh issues, and re-rigged it to Combine Soldier skeleton. This texture shows his basic, uncamouflaged state. For active state we’ll use a custom shader which cannot be recreated in Sketchfab.
