Looks cool man, i think its the yellow lighting which gives it the q2 feel.

[nitin77]

its definitely the lighting that gives the q2 feel. I'd say go for more of a monchromatic lighting look if you want to emulate q1.

[Eraser]

It's a combination of the lighting, the heavy-built geometry, the light textures themselves and the trapezoid shaped doorways. Those are all typical Quake 2 things.

I'm loving the look of that Q1 style map sst13
Brings back the memories, thankyou

[Infernis]

Thank you all. Here's some more. Lighting is experimental and thus temporary. I have your feedback in mind.

I'm digging the extra colour palette. Nice dab of blue.

You got the nails.







I'm trying a bit of hard surface modelling and learning to do subD. Still terribly inefficient, 3ds Max's quadrify and turbosmooth generates 900,000 polys for this model.

Two words: Support loops. Make friends with the Swiftloop tool (in the graphite modeling tools fly out) and you will have much more control with a ton less polygons.

Nice model btw.

Quake 3 companion cube (by me).:


Cute. isn't it?

[Plan B]

Cute, for sure.
But does it serve any purpose?

[Martinus]

yyyyyep, it will.

Bunch of ASE assets in a testmap. I'm exporting from Blender, the biggest mesh I've put in the game is 2,500 polies.

Has anyone ever noticed that the ASE exporter doesn't like random polies and distorts the texture on them until you flip the edge inside that quad?

Also, has anyone had ASE models lightmapped by q3map2 *despite* not setting spawnflag 4? I couldn't get it vertex lit until I put another model using the same texture in the level

What blender ver. you using?

[goldenboy]

What blender ver. you using?

2.68a.

HRM im still using 2.49's exporter!

Perfect Dark Blender OBJ OBJ2MAP

Complete with inefficient and unnecessary extra brushwork

[D-Meat]

getting your OBJ to an ASE or an MD3 would make things cleaner in radiant But I don't know if you'll have to build a collision mesh after that or not ...

Nice job

[Bacon]

I just tried it and yeah, you need to build clip brushes everywhere manually.

I'm content with this way now anyways.

I don't know what I'm doing...

Looking at the preview pic, I thought it was a baby stroller with knobbly wheels. Whatever kind of vehicle it is, it looks cool. I recommend adding a few details so that you can imagine some sense of scale. Maybe some kind of hatch, ladder or other details that would suggest a person's size relative to the vehicle. The turret could use a little work too, take a look at some reference photos of tank barrels, they aren't basic cylinders like that. It's a good start though, I like the crazy skinny stilts and massive wheels - gives it an almost surreal cartoon like feel.

[D-Meat]

I allready added more details and started working on materials I also prepared an environment that I'll use in the final shot

[Infernis]

It's been far too long since I posted an update so here are two WIP shots of the final area. I haven't done anything regarding the lighting yet. I did however implement a lot of 'Seir' suggestions. More computers, pipes, rocks, more open, etc.

[D-Meat]

cool
I would try to add a "transition" piece where the pipes enter the rock, and making the cliff more irregular would make it more interresting (maybe higher one side or one corner ?). Also adding some rust leaks with some decals or having some blending with a second rock texture would make it look more natural

I don't know what I'm doing...

that tread looks like the fasteners on a duffel coat



just sayin
