Beta Combine Grunt Replacer

Description
Those of you who were paying close attention to Half-Life Alyx leading up to its release may remember that the Grunt variety of Combine soldiers went through a few design changes, from the dark grey and orange suits in the initial announcement trailer, to brighter cream and red colours in the retail game. Quite a few people seemed to prefer the look of the prerelease grey-and-orange Grunts, so I created this retexture several months back. This addon replaces the default Combine Grunt material, meaning all Grunts in-game will change to the custom design when enabled.

Simply enable this addon before starting a new game and the changes should take effect.

------

Keep in mind that this addon is a work-in-progress! There's a bit of detail work that has yet to be finished (primarily on the arms and legs). Updates will be pushed in the future. Feel free to give any feedback in the comments below.

Looks so cool, better than final white version

Look very nice ingame but the blood/gore is still missing, would love if this is added in the future!

Hey may i ask if you could consider making a replacer/reskin for the charger that makes it look more like the soldier from half life 2? or matches the soldier form shooters revived? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2463297395

@Mylo1 You've thought incorrectly.

Re: Leojrenrek - Thanks for the feedback. As the description states, this is definitely a work-in-progress and there are a list of improvements I'd like to make when I find the time.

Getting colours and shades correct is definitely a challenge, and the lighting of the environment makes a big impact on how materials appear. I definitely agree that the grey suit needs work, but the helmet is actually based on an older version of the Grunt's helmet that still exists in the files, meaning that part of the Grunt is the most accurate.

The "trailer shot" seen in the gallery on this Workshop page is actually an SFM render created by me, using my materials; so feel free to use that as a direct comparison.

I love this addon. However, I think the grey of the body should be slightly darker and more uniform, while the grey of the helmet should be lighter. You can tell that there is a higher contrast between the body and the helmet in the announcement trailer.

These look brilliant in game.
I've gotta ask though, how hard would it be to re-skin the eye lighting and lenses for the Captain, Charger and Suppressor to the same as the Beta Grunts?

could you possibly make your overwatch soldier model replace the ordinal
