Something I've never understood... why is the HL1 crowbar so SMOOTH??? It would have been less polys to make the handle hexagonal like a real crowbar, right???

pretty sure it's because of phong shading. ironically it would need more polys to be more hexagonal while being smoothed with phong shading
It’s as smooth as butter. Also nice first post, welcome to the site! 🙂
Funnily enough, at an earlier point it HAD some actual texture! They probably wanted to get some mileage outta the wacky chrome system in GoldSrc by the time the game shipped though hah
it is hexagonal, you see it so smooth because chrome effect. Same for shotgun barrel which is pentagonal
Ahh fair enough
You Awesome!
David, I love your games!
yo duskdev :D
if you see the grey part is kinda hexagonal. I think the whole crowbar is hexagonal like its just a fact of perspective also the brighter lines on the red part are where the edges are
