Your making money off other peoples work. In this case, Frictional Games game engine, and models that you are using that is theirs from the original game. So its best if you don't do it.
I think you misinterpreted what he said.
His friend is making brand new models with a different program, and then porting them to a .dae file with animations and such. I don't believe he is using anything from the original game at all.
If what I said is correct (And you are just making models and such and not using the engine), then I think it's okay. If you are making these models for a specific custom story and getting donations for the CS, then it's illegal (because you are using the HPL2 engine, which is copyrighted by Frictional Games).
I may be wrong, so correct me if I am.

Is it legal to receive donations for a CS?
