Elizabeth Edwards' Xenians

Description
After two years of being haunted by the existence of these models, and the belief that I would never be able to use them myself, I finally decided to just port them myself.

Two high quality Xenian models by the wonderful Elizabeth Edwards.

UPDATE 09/28/22, 3:59 AM: THEY HAVE RAGDOLLS NOW.

Please read the Q&A before asking questions!

Both models have unconventional bones for posing purposes, and both feature clean and bloody skins (the bullsquid also has acidic skins!)

Content
  • Bullsquid (Effect) (liz_bullsquid_ent)
  • Bullsquid (Ragdoll) (liz_bullsquid_ragdoll)
  • Headcrab (Effect) (liz_headcrab_ent)
  • Headcrab (Ragdoll) (liz_headcrab_ragdoll)

Q&A
Q: Are these playermodels/NPCs?
A: No, just models meant for artworks.

Q: Will you make them playermodels/NPCs?
A: No.

Q: Why won't you make them playermodels/NPCs?
A: I don't want to, and have no need for either of those.

Q: Why did you have to name the bones like that?
A: Realism is fun, and I think being able to relate the bones to a real animal's is fun, you'll get used to the names.

Q: How do I use the *_ent versions of the models?
A: Make them animatable with Easy Animation Tool, then you can pose it with Advanced Bone Tool and/or Ragdoll Mover.

Q: Why did you even include the *_ent versions?
A: Because if I were to remove or change them then any saves that use them would be negatively affected, and since I have saves that use the entity versions I don't want to deal with that headache. So use whichever version you prefer, they're the exact same other than the fact that one has physics.

@The Bullsquid Enthusiast ok thanks

@Notorious2020 You're doing it wrong. The eyes are rigged as bones, not engine eyes. You must use Advanced Bone Tool, Ragdoll Mover, or any other tool that can move non-physics bones to pose them.

Hey I have an issue with the bullsquid I cannot move its eyes with the eye poser tool. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

@why do I exist Unfortunately there is no houndeye model. If you wanted any info on that you would have to ask Elizabeth herself, though I believe she does not do much Half-Life related anymore. I would love to see one though, houndeyes are sweet babies and I love them almost as much as bullsquids.

In terms of NPC's or PM's, I don't really care, I don't think Elizabeth would care. Just make sure all appropriate parties (as credited in the description) are credited as well. Though I'd hardly suggest it.

Guys I'm sad I took my headcrab out of the box and it deflated. I think it's depressed:
