Tweaked for animation
The original model by mb814 was extensively adjusted for animation use.
The story behind the CP Officer
A Half-Life CP Officer rig for Maya, stun baton included
Emilio Serrano stepped into City 17 and brought one of Half-Life 2's most recognisable authority figures into Maya. The Civil Protection Officer is one of the game's best pieces of environmental storytelling: anonymous behind the visor, threatening through posture alone, the human face of the Combine's occupation.
The model, originally by mb814 on GAMEBANANA, was extensively tweaked for animation and keeps the character's tactical gear and dehumanising look. Emilio added a dedicated space switch on the FK arms so the upper arms can orient to local space, which matters for weapon-holding and patrol animation.
This rig rewards animators who can communicate character through posture and deliberate movement. He is a character who never lets you see what he is thinking, so everything has to read through the body.
