Early Model Revisions#

Gordon#

Hlsdk_playerglasses.png

Some of the player model's .max files show Freeman wearing glasses. Freeman's glasses were removed from the player model upon the game's release. The Gordon model used in Opposing Force was based on this older mesh and not his final model, thus it retains the glasses. The model seems to be calling for a "Player_Chrome2.bmp" texture, which was not included in the SDK and does not exist in the final model.

Deathmatch Scientist#

The Deathmatch Scientist seems to have been sculpted off of the original "gloves" scientist body model as seen in a render in Raising the Bar. The model used in the Scientist render was released as part of the Source Developer Asset Repository leak, and appears to be extremely similar to this scientist model, apart from the head and collar. The hands were also opened in the final model to adapt to Deathmatch.
