[WOTC] HL Alyx Gordon Freeman Squadmate

The one and only theoretical physicist has arrived just in time to face his full-life consequences at the hands of the Ethereal Empire. Equipped with a crowbar, a PhD and a bad attitude, he's here to eradicate the aliens and monsters attacking his place with deadly efficiency.

HEAD:
His face is fully animated. Due to his Alyx model being so hi-poly, this required a LOT of editing to make it work. I saw nothing but repeating rows of vertices as i was falling asleep the night i did most of it.

It's rigged closely enough to the XCOM bust that he should be able to wear anything you give him without issue, as long as it doesn't need a neck-torso skin connection to work properly.

The hair is a separate part in case you wanna give him head props that the hair clips out of. I left it un-colorable as Gordon's face texture has underlayers of hair painted on that wouldn't get changed if you adjusted his hair color, resulting in mis-matched hues.

Unlike his hair, his eyes can be colored freely as i re-used the XCOM bust's eye models and material. Not exactly a standout feature, but it's there.

His glasses can be used with any soldier in your roster, just like any other pair of glasses. It has options in both Face Prop slots.

HEV SUIT:
The arm holes are set up to let you use any arm parts of your choosing. No guarantees it'll work with anything you give it, but most things should be fine in theory.

The orange bits are colorable with Primary Armor, the inside padding and decals with Secondary Armor. Making an armor with so many scratches and burns tintable was a P.I.T.A., but it turned out better than i expected. Only drawback is all the wear details being colored black as a consequence, but i don't think i could've avoided this.

The Lambda decal is a separate part found in the Legs and Shins slots. These were chosen as the outfit has no parts for those slots and you're unlikely to find something else for them that works with the outfit. I've included an XCOM decal and a blank variant, as well.

The chestplate on its' own can be found in the Torso Gear section if you wanna give your soldiers a little HEV flair without giving them the full suit.

I've also included a Character Pool file with a fully set-up gordon for easy importing. The only external mod used is the True Mute Voice Pack, everything else comes with the mod.

• UFOPedia & Bestiary - Gordon has an archive entry in the "Persons of Interest" section.

• The chestplate is rather thick, so you'll see soldiers' arms clipping through it as they move around. If the chestplate followed the arm bones more than it does now this would help a little, but it would also mean having un-naturally bendy metal armor, which would look very stupid (and it already IS kind of bendy).
  
  
• Some of the scuffs and scratches on the HEV suit are colored black instead of white/silver, this was a necessary concession to make tinting work while still retaining all of those details.
  
  
• The decals being separate objects means how they're lit in a given enviornment will differ from the main suit. Not much i can do about it, it's the sacrifice for having them be modular.

• Mr. Graves - Wrote Gordon's UFOPedia entry.
  
  
• Valve - Creators of Half-Life Alyx and every asset used in this mod.
