FAQ:
- "The model is not working, textures are missing, what can I do?"
- Download the legacy addon from here.[dl.dropboxusercontent.com] Install it to your game folder (usermod).
- "I'm a server owner and I run VSH on my server. Can I use this model?"
- A VSH version is available for free to everyone, here![dl.dropboxusercontent.com]
- "Why can't we have the original model?"
- The original model is not yet released. I messaged the SFM team about it and I haven't received a reply.
- "Will you guys release more character models in the future?"
- Yes. However there is no approximate release date for any of the potential models.

Note from Maxxy:

Before Jungle Inferno was released JPRAS already worked on a Saxton Hale model which was used in the Mayann short video.
I was planning on helping the release of the model, but not long after I started Valve revealed Saxton Hale in the Jungle Inferno short on October 20. The idea after that was to create an imitation of the model.

Before starting I've sent a mail to the Source Filmmaker team, asking if we could have the official model released by any chance, if not, would it interfere with a potential re-creation? Since I received no reply, I started working on the model based on the video.

All sorts of camera angles / changes were taken into consideration before I ended up with the current look. I think it generally captures the characteristics of Saxton Hale very much, same goes to the wildly expressive HWM face which I created with DMXEdit. It was a really fun process, but I was hoping to get a reply from the SFM team which could have anwsered some of my questions regarding custom assets created for their short films. ( It was promised that SFM gets more guides from Valve / Meet the Team sessions / Assets )

Please in this case if the team reads my note, send me a mail at: maxxywarrior@gmail.com,
I would gladly discuss this matter further here and in the name of content creators.
I hope Saxton is going to help and inspire content creators for the upcoming Saxxy Awards 2017, good luck and enjoy the model!

I absolutely love this model but when i import it into blender, its eye texture is all wonky and messed up.is there any way to fix this

absolutely incredible model! was just wondering if you could potentially add a 4th option for the belt bodygroup that has a normal grey belt buckle like he has in the comics.
