  1. That image is ancient, this page contains some images and other information:

    In fact, that page says that image is 'an early version of the scientist model'. :P

     

     

    On a related note, the BMS wiki is a great source of information about the mod, although it's not all up-to-date stuff.

     

    The gallery of new files shows the latest images that have been added to the wiki for those interested:

    Those on the Wiki definitely look a LOT more appealing. I wouldn't mind that design. And go females!

  2. I can sort of see the logic behind software piracy though. If you try something before you buy it, then you know you are buying something you actually like, rather than buying something based on the trailers and reviews alone. A lot of games nowadays don't even have any shareware demos anymore.

     

    Regarding movies and music, I think piracy can be a good thing, especially for more obscure titles.

  3. Hard to explain, I just think the Black Mesa ones have the wrong "feel" to them. The original HL1 designs were low poly, yes, but they had a certain style to them that in my opinion Black Mesa has outright failed to replicate, which is essential when you are making a high def remake. In fact, I'd say the High Definition Pack by Gearbox was closer to the original than these models are.

  4. What scientists are you talking about? Because I can only find this official picture:

    And to me that doesn't look that bad.

    Looks pretty bad to me. It looks like a plastic doll, not a real person. Mostly I think the problem is with the skin texture and the overall design of it. The clothes don't look that realistic either. When you have standards set by the first and second game, I think you should try and build on those.

  5. The main problem I have is that the designs aren't good, they're horrible. The scientists all look like crappy designs that barely resemble humans as opposed to the original designs which at least look more appealing. Mostly I have a problem with the eyes and mouths as they look downright creepy.

     

    My philosophy is that it doesn't matter that it's done by amateurs as long as it looks professional, which is not the case here.
