Derek Jenson's portfolio contains several clips of Half-Life 2's models performing various animations, with many appearances of early content scattered throughout.

Overview

Discovery

On December 21st, 2017 Dindex posted a link to the portfolio[1], rediscovering it. He commented alongside, "I don't think no one has seen this before."

It is worth noting, however, that the Half-Life 2 section of the portfolio has been available in its current form since at least December 22nd, 2011[2].

Two days later, Akis_02 posted a message[3], stating that his friend epicplayer40 had contacted Derek about the renders. It includes this quotation:

At one time I had the source for the whole game. But I worked on that project 13-15 years ago. The HD that held that data was wiped and recycled a long time ago.
