Pink HL2

#1

Well, I’d been fiddling with the idea of creating a thread for all my pink recolors for quite a while now, and after some doubting, I decided to do it. Spamming F5 is a good job, mate! People around Steam are pretty aware of my pink obsession, so this will be no surprise for them, but, if I take away your faith in human kind and make you want to pull your eyes out with a fork, I apologize in advance :wink:

Now, on to the pics!

HEV Suit, World Model

I didn’t intend on working on this one at first, since you just see the model for a few seconds before wearing it, but since I’m a maniac, I did it anyway. That might explain the low quality of the recolor.

Here is the model without the lights on. The lambda symbol had to be white, yes.

And here it is with the lights on. The lambda symbol can’t be seen, and for that I am disappoint.

HEV Suit, Player View (Arms)

This is the one that started it all. I’d looked for a pink recolor all over the place, something simple like this, but since I couldn’t find any, I decided to do it myself. Took me forever, but I am very happy with it.

Here are some pictures of the moment you get the suit.

Reloading the crossbow.

And here is a picture with the crowbar, so you can see the differences in color according to the environment. So very pink!

Crowbar

Nicely pink, of course. I just HAD to do this after finish the arms. INB4LOL LERN2ANTIALIASING

Airboat

This is probably the only recolor I don’t really like. According to Spooks, it looks plain, and I agree, but I’ve been messing with it for weeks and I just don’t know how to fix it. Well, at least it’s pink, but I’ll try and figure out a way to make it look better later.

.357 Magnum

I think this was samzala’s idea. All I remember is that he told me to recolor all the weapons, but that would’ve been too much of a problem (and yes, I mean that), so I looked at the models and thought that this one looked easy enough.

Damn recoil.

I AM A BADASS PINK MAGNUM WHATCHA GONNA DO

Buggy

This is definitively the recolor I love the most. I’m specially proud of the seat, which was a detail I decided to add after I was done with it, almost as an epiphany.

#4

Antlion

For this, I would like to quote Siggs’ reaction after seeing the first screenshot of the Antlions I took. Notice the lack of pink magnum D:

Pretty much the reaction I expected. My idea was not to make the Antlions completely pink, I just wanted to add a subtle detail. And this was the result. It’s awesome to get slashed and melee attacked by those pink claws.

Now, here are the 4 variants of the regular Antlion.

They don’t look happy, that’s for sure :fffuuu:

Rollermine

This recolor was Spooks’ idea. It was pretty easy to do, mostly because it’s the only recolor that is just a simple change of hue. Because I am lazy like that, yes. Unfortunately I still haven’t figured out how to change the color of the blue beam that appears when you come into direct contact with it.

INCOMIIIIIING

The rollermine, not activated.

And now activated. I really like the way it looks.

#5

Ammo Crates

Something very simple that sprang into my mind as I was taking screenshots of the Buggy. You can actually see it in the background, and even further back, you can see the place where I took the screenies of the Buggy and the rollermine :slight_smile:

Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator (Gravity Gun)

I already created a thread about this recolor, made by Flash-Killer, so I’ll just include a few screenshots here.

Dark Energy Field Manipulator

Originally, Flash-Killer included a red recolor for the blue Gravity Gun, but I wanted to give the purple a try, so I changed the colors. I really like the way it looks. And, FINALLY, it now glows in the dark! Oh yeah, rejoice!

Antlion Guard

As I started putting together the screenshots for this, I got the urge to recolor some extra stuff. I looked around the internets and after seeing this image, I thought that recoloring those blue wing-like things looked easy enough, and it would be a nice little detail. So I did it, and here are the results.

Bugbait

This idea came after recoloring the Antlion Guard. Something nice and simple.

Health/Charge Stations, Combine Lock, Health Kits and Batteries

The medkits and batteries were Trigger_proximity’s idea. I personally think the batteries look awesome :smiley:

Coll helped me find the models for the stations and the combine lock, and for that I am thankful… Damn CGF files.

Episode 2 Muscle Car

All I have is a laptop, and it kinda sucks. It can’t really run the Episodes because it freezes and crashes, therefore I haven’t played them yet. But I did recolor the car used there, and made it pink. Unfortunately, I couldn’t test the recolor myself, so I asked Siggs for help, and he was kind enough so as to take a few screenshots for me, albeit in BMP format. That also explains the lack of pink Gravity Gun in there. Spooks converted them to high quality JPGs for me, so I would like to thank you two! You guys rule!

#7

Episode 2 Gnome

Similar to what happened with the muscle car, I had to ask Siggs to take a few screenshots of the gnome for me. I personally loved it, can’t wait to finally play the Episodes on a decent computer!

RPG Ammo

This one was something I had wanted to do for a long time, but I kept forgetting about it. They look lethal, don’t they?

Boat

I got this idea after taking the screenshots of the RPG ammo and kiiiiiiiinda falling down the bridge before the beginning of Sandtraps. It look me less than five minutes, because I was tired and I felt I was never gonna be done recoloring…

And I think that’s it! Let me know if you think there is something else I should recolor. Hope you enjoyed this trip down the pinkness lane! And don’t flame me bro D:

Also, I’m sorry about the multiple posting, but the image limit kinda screwed me over :stuck_out_tongue:

Everything above this post is declared epic win due to hard work, dedication and awesomeness. Everything below this post is confirmation of the aforementioned and its universal validity. Denial of said fact will lead to a punch in the face. And homing bear rockets. As in rockets full of bears, homed at your location.

And yes, I haven’t posted in +two months and this is the first thing I do when I return.

Out and out.

for the selfillum thing, you need an illumination map. use $selfillumtexture. See this: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/$selfillum
I’m guessing that light is illuminated and dark is dark, but it could be the other way around. I would just desaturate the regular map and play with the values until you get something you’re happy with. reloadallmaterials is a great command.
