Alyx Vance - Enhanced

Alyx Vance from Half-Life 2 enhanced for Gmod usage beyond the limits of the default model. Comes with a ragdoll with loose physics and a player model with c_hands, along with bodygroups for her belt, bandage and necklace, skingroups of her Episodic textures, and a number of other minor improvements and fixes including a higher-detail hand mesh and texture. Also included is an enhanced prop version of her Multitool, based on a model from Half-Life 2: Survivor.

This does not replace the original Alyx model or textures nor does it require the Half-Life 2 episodes to be owned and/or mounted. All content is loaded from Garry's Mod's files or included within the addon.


FEATURES:
- 3 bodygroups to remove the necklace, arm bandage, and toolbelt. Use the Easy Bodygroup Tool to select them or hold C, right click the model and use the "bodygroup" options.
- 3 skingroups (HL2, EP1, EP2). Use the Easy Bodygroup Tool to select them or hold C, right click the model and use the "skin" options.
- Ragdoll with loose physics for easier posing.
- Player Model with C_Hands and tight valve-standard physics.
- Improved multitool model as a separate prop.
- Enhanced face textures with touch-ups for better detail.
- Left 4 Dead eye shaders with default HL2 eyes as a fallback for lower-end computers.
- Higher detail hand texture and mesh from Romka's Alyx.
- Several fixes made to the body normal map and texture.


NOTES/ISSUES:

- For reason's unknown, there might be a problem when first spawning a ragdoll, its eyes will be closed. You can fix this by selecting it with the Face Poser tool and opening the menu. This does not happen when used as a player model.

- Due to imperfect rigging, the bandage might not always bend correctly and the arm might clip through it, especially at extreme angles.

- The ragdoll has NPC animations. You can use the Model Manipulator tool on the workshop to make an NPC out of a citizen or the stock Alyx NPC if you really want. I will not be making a "real" NPC out of this.

- The C_Hands might look weird due to their low-poly nature depending on what weapons you hold with it, as they were directly converted from the player model.
