Description Created in Gmod.

I recentley played through all of Half-life 2 and then Episodes 1 and 2 afterwards. (I kinda needed the data for my Garry's Mod stuff...) I gotta say that I really liked some of the environments in HL2:E2, and I was inspired to make this picture after one of my favorite open spaces in the game, the riverbed where you race Dog up to the White Forest missile base. This is my first Gmod Shot that uses the post-production effects the program offers. (namely the depth-of-field effect for the background.)

I wanted to do something Zelda-Related, since I haven't done much Zelda stuff in awhile. With the announcement of "Spirit Tracks" at GDC, it's very much possible that a new Zelda game for the Wii will be announced at E3. That alone gets me excited for what new stuff may be 'round the bend...and so I was inspired to do this picture. This kinda scene is what I'd love to see in a future title.

Heh heh. Can you imagine Link and Gordon meeting?

Link: ...?
Gordon: ...!
Link: ....
Gordon: ...?

And Zelda (or Midna, if that pairing floats your boat) and Alyx just looking at each other and sighing in exasperation.

Ryu-Gi In reply to RogueAngelAlan [2009-03-30 03:24:33 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, the Source Engine. All of Valve's games use it.

Nice! but I have a suggestion,
maybe you should make Zelda back hunch a bit.
I know how hard it is to get Zelda on the horse

Yeah, getting Zelda on Epona was really tough...I kinda like how she's positioned stright up and high up and all that, very princess-y.

You made a great job!
Can you tell me the name of the software you used for made this great work?

Ryu-Gi In reply to ronniemendle [2009-10-27 23:25:57 +0000 UTC]

I used Garry's Mod. It's a modification of the Source Engine, the game engine used in all the games made by Valve (Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Portal, Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2, Etc.)

You can get it for just $10 on the Steam Network, but it requires that you have a legitimate version of a game that runs the Source Engine (Such as the ones I mentioned before.) There are a lot of different things you can do in Garry's Mod (Gmod for short) everything from ragdoll posing (what I did to make this picture) to building working contraptions, First-Person Shooter action, etc.

Steam is a digital distribution service for PC games so you can buy them online and then download them directly to your computer. Getting a Steam account is free.

Seriously, though. I'm disappointed with Spirit Tracks. Oh, well. *Faves*

Well, just wait for E3. Like I said, a Wii Zelda in the vein of Twilight Princess might be announced then.
