Beta-Styled Hunter

THIS TOOK FOREVER!!!

My proudest restoration of the old Hunter seen in pre-release media from 2007/08! There really hasn't been any public beta skins for the hunter (Other than Theuaredead's old spin-take), so I decided to make my own. My goal was to make the reskin accurate to the original.

I actually finished this new version a year ago, but I never bothered releasing because I was lazy. This was literally hoarded in an old drive until I recently dug it out. Yikes... Anyways, I'm releasing this reskin, and I've did a few minor polishes to call it a day.

The Hunter had it's own rendered normal map. It was seen in the old footage of the game during it's development, but It was scrapped and replaced with a flat one by Valve for unknown reasons (probably done so to make him appear more realistically wet in their own re-vision of No Mercy). The flat normal map didn't look good on any of the beta reskins of the guy, so I've removed it. (EDIT; I tweaked the flat normal map to have its own alpha channel. It isn't the real deal, but it'll look ALOT better).
