Leak citadel model and texture

[Scalphunter]

Was the leak citadel model and texture ever ported over to retail?

This citadel on your screenshot is not even a model, it's a brush. And what does "ported over to retail" mean? Ported by whom? By Valve or by the community? Can you ask a more specific question?

The main part of this Citadel is made of brushes, yes, but there's also one model used Valve made for some additional details. Here's a pic of it from Combine Overwiki:

Didn't know it was a brush. By ported over I meant converted by the beta community to be able to be used in retail. I'm assuming this can't be done since it's a brush? Someone would have to model it based on the brush and texture it to match the screenshot and then it could be used? I'm not all that knowledgeable about the model and brush side of HL2.

You could do it for the maps that use a small model for the citadel that is painted to the skybox

Like the canals levels with the citadel in the background?

I assume so, I know that the first map in episode 1 uses this method

Well, I'm no good at modeling/texturing, so I guess I'll have to make do with the retail citadel.

Is this version of the citadel a model? I'm assuming it is since it's animated. If so, is Combine_citadel.dx80 the right model?
