Marketing render for HL using in game assets and 3DS Max

Zombie Headcrab Creature. Marketing render. My co worker Ted Backman created the Headcrab, I made him into a zombie.

The Snark grenade! This is an ingame shot. I did everything for this, design, concept, modeling, rigging and animation.

Giant Tentacle. Marketing render. This was used for one of the ingame scripted sequences.

Here is the scripted sequence for the Tentacle/Scientist Attack witnessed through a damaged door. It was triggered in the corridor and began before the character arrived. I was responsible for all the planning and animation.

Test animation for tentacle

One of the Alien Warrior characters. Marketing render. We only had a few hundred polys to work with so things were very boxy.

Concept for Alien Warrior

Vortigaunt character or alien slave. Marketing render.

These were controlling aliens that floated in game. At the time, doing 3D AI was out of our timeline, so their behavior was very basic. Marketing render.

Panther eye was an early development character. He was pulled because we had feet sliding issues with quadrupeds in game. Marketing render.

Concept for Panther Eye

This character never made it game. It was meant to be an archer fish type creature. Marketing render.

Another character that was cut from the game, the Stukabat, Marketing render.

Stukabat cycling through it's animations.

Chub Toad VModel. The Chub toad was supposed to be a gameplay style character. You could let these go to distract monsters. Due to time constraints it got cut.

Hornet Gun did make it into the game. It was fun in HL Deathmatch, but a little overpowered. You could hide and launch these from saftey and they would home in on an enemy.
