Meet the Soldier Remaster (Read Desc)

Meet the Soldier Remaster is an enhanced and reworked version of the original 2007 animated short Meet the Soldier, released by Valve.

The original animation files have been released with Source Filmmaker, but various aspects of the animation were broken, so I decided to fix these problems and improve upon the project itself.

Features:

• Improved lighting
  
• Better quality Title Card and Overlays
  
• Use of enhanced models
  
• Improved/added character animation (such as facial expressions)
  
• Fixed various clipping problems (such as model clipping)
  
• Removed unused or unseen elements from the scenes (such as invisible Particles)
  
• Organized every Element in every Shot by Cameras, Models, Particles and Lights
  
• Fixed Fence heads Texture

Made in 120h.

Current Version: V1.1

1. Due to various SFM errors and bugs, this workshop submission is just a placeholder containing the Materials. You must download the Session along with the Map though here[drive.google.com]
   Then extract both folders (elements and maps) to either your usermod folder or other custom mod folder, localized inside your SFM installation.
   If you don't know how to do this, check this video.
   
   
2. Some of these files need to have higher priority in order to actually see them in SFM. To do that, make sure that the workshop folder is above the following: tf, tf_movies
   If you don't know how to do it or don't know what this is, please check this video.
