Quake3World

Hey guys! I finally finished this skin for Mynx. I had to shelf it for a bit when I went on a Christmas holiday, and only got back to it now.

In case anyone is interested, I also created some step-by-step tutorials on how I did the face and hair:

AMAZING.

Send this to QL devs!

Methinks you should do skin-work on some higher-poly models This looks pretty sweet though. Crazy that folks are still developing for this damn game 15 years later

Wow! I love the hair and painted sheen of the leather. Nice mini tutorial too.

Thanks guys, glad you like her!

@ mrd: That's what I do for a day job, actually. So In my free time, I like to kick back and have some fun with the oldschool stuff!

All is well then.

Very cool! Especially that it was released now, I had to check the OP post date to be really sure.

Maybe you started working with this in 1999, then you decided that now is a good year to release it?

That looks awesome.
For some reason it looks like there's much more detail in this skin than the original Q3 skins, but that might be just me

@ Hipshot: My plan is to make a bunch more of them. It's never too late to make a skin for Quake 3, is it?

@ Eraser: I upgraded the main body texture from the original size of 256x128 pixels to a larger 512x256 pixel sheet. I kept the head and chest textures at the original sizes. I did that because the pixel density on this character was very uneven. To be specific, the body suit had much less texture space than the rest of her. I tried to work at the original resolution at first, but I wasn't able to draw crisp buckles and clothing seams that way. So, I fixed the pixel density problem by upscaling the offending texture, and working at the higher detail level instead.

Ah I see. And that works properly in-game as well or not? I imagine the wrapping goes all wrong then? Or is Quake 3 smart enough to fix that for you? I know it isn't that easy when it comes to texturing levels.

With character textures you can simply use any texture size, as long as the proportions are kept the same.

wow, very cool! keep em coming

This is awesome. Mynx is my fave character, loving this version. The hair is especially great.

Cool chick Have downloaded yesterday, looked in chat file for the bot and I must say there is number of jokes and she's pretty sweary Will try a game with her later

A game with Rosie was pretty simple. I have loaded up Arena Gate (q3dm1) and placed Rosie there. Well, she's not much communicative type. Fair said, she plays a bit bored, skin is great, but I would not suggest her as a bot to play.
