If you wanna talk about these findings or anything just pop me a steam message. On another note, I've found a semi-efficient way to modify chell's mesh without reconstructing the missing piece of mesh from the exported SMD, and without re-animating, remodeling, or recompiling parts you want to stay the same.
It's a really weirdly modified model, and seems to only work in some compiles of it, and any change has a risk to ruin the animations. I used a combo of chell's head on a heavily modified male_06 model that someone else had posted on thinkingwithportals, plus that Slenderman model for bones that was from that forest of slender map. Portal contains all of the models, sounds and textures from Half-Life 2. It also runs under the same version of Source Engine that Portal runs under. It is included with Portal in The Orange Box. But you need to have certain files from Lost Coast in a certain place, or else nothing works. Half-Life 2 is a science fiction first-person shooter developed by Valve Corporation. I actually have been messing around with human models in portal 2 for a while and have finally gotten one to work with valve biped animations. You can play the game of Half Life 2, everything works just fine, there's sound for everything, and you have a Portal Gun.
I've tried all sorts of alternatives but I haven't yet found a human model (besides Chell) that works properly. Id get both but Portal is a good series to start with before getting into. Oof when source engine makes you dizzy so you can play neither. Human models from HL2 will not work in Portal 2, as they used shared. Just play it maaaannn half life is absolutely great.
