It's "enhanced" only because of the hair mesh fix. Mostly, this is meant for having the complete content files so you can edit anything from the materials to the model itself.

The biggest use you'll find out of it is disabling shadows on the hair mesh if it isn't looking good (and if it doesn't completely disable the shadows on the entire model because Source 2 likes to be fun like that.) Also useful for changing the glasses material because it can still occasionally sort transparency incorrectly.

What's the difference between the enhanced gordon model and the original?

It does but you won't really notice the difference

Does this affect the game itself? I know we only see these models for a split second but it would still be cool.

Again, I never bothered recreating the content files for Alyx's model because it didn't need any small model edits (it would be difficult for me to fix all of her character face flexes.)
This addon only includes texture and material fixes for her which you should be able to decompile using SourceIO and VRF if you need to do any material edits.
If you really do actually need my source textures or really need Alyx's model recreated then feel free to add me.

any chance you could put the Alyx model in the google drive?

Very cool thanks for that :steamthumbsup:
Also great for making cut-scenes within an addon
Just made a short howto video to make a simple animations/bonemerge using your improved model https://youtu.be/8oVu8nBpCkE

Are you able to provide the content files for Alyx as well?
