After the Cinematic Mod 10 Beta has been released, modder Fakefactory has continued to work on his Half-Life 2 modification. He overhauled the transitions between the gameworld and Skybox, which from today's point of view look rather out of date in Half-Life 2 (dt.).

The new lighting system in cinematic Mod 10 is demonstrated with to picture comparisons. Furthermore there is a comparison that shows the enhanced transition between the game and the surrounding, static box that has been improved with Fogging effects.

You can find those screenshots in our gallery. We also assembled direct comparisons with downsized versions of the pictures so you can get an impression for yourself.

Modder Fakefactory hat den Download der neuen Cinematic-Mod 10 Beta inklusive neuer Alyx-Modells bereits vor einiger Zeit veröffentlicht, den wir mit freundlicher Genehmigung auch lokal anbieten. Die insgesamt über 9,4 GByte großen Dateien haben wir in fünf Happen mit je unter zwei GiByte als selbstextrahierendes RAR-Archiv aufgeteilt, sodass auch der Transport via FAT32-formatiertem USB-Stick keine Probleme bereiten sollte. Der One-Click-Download ist für registrierte wie unregistrierte Nutzer gleichermaßen möglich.

Fakefactory released a worth seeing teaser video of the Cinematic Mod 10 that shows additional HD character models and several of the upgraded graphics features. If you like what you see, you should also take a look at our Cinematic Mod 10 vs. Half-Life 2 comparison or download the Cinematic Mod 10 Beta.



Background: Cinematic Mod 10
A release date has not been announced yet. The HD characters have been heavily optimized in version 10. Due to a new LoD system the framerate should be noticeably better than it has been in Cinematic Mod 9. Among the new features are HD models for certain objects and a new, optional HD model of Alyx. Furthermore a dynamic soundtrack, some HDR tweaks and some more bugfixes have been added.

Even though the textures are better in the mod, I prefer the old art style. Perhaps because I'm used to it.
