Re: Quake 1 Player

You're welcome. I hope you find a model to your liking.

As a rule of thumb, when looking for replacement content, browsing QuakeOne.com forums is the way to go.

Re: Quake 1 Player

Hey Laura..,

I'm working on a quake1 female player with seven.
Here's  a really nice one.
home.kpn.nl/lo2kf8/quake/models/Q1cory.zip

And now were on the subject bfg666..,
How's your homework with the abandon maps?
Or are you just trying a little harder to start on your own ones?

:P

Re: Quake 1 Player

Hey Madfox!

Actually, I've put Abandon aside for the time being, for a couple of reasons:
1) the new map jam theme gave me some ideas and I'm making a map visually inspired by Frank Miller's Sin City graphic novel.
2) the rest of my Quake time is currently spent beta-testing a bunch of RTlights for BloodVengeance.
But I'm not... umm... abandoning Abandon, I'll get back to it when I'm done with the other stuff.

Nice model, but what's with the almost white gloves, boots and whip?

Re: Quake 1 Player

Developping a new model takes a lot of time. It is divided in roughly four stages: base model - animating poses - texturing - qc.
There are not that many female players in Quake, as if amazones stay away of the agression male players seem to have.
This one I made sure it had a base model that would pronounce female propotions without getting too bitchy.
In setting up a model there's the rule: how less triangles the better it will performe and how smaller chance is there will occure collapsing triangles. Also before starting make sure you have a good editor to work in. Max3D is great, but the manual is even harder.

The second stage is animating, which is the movement of the base model, and the regular poses it needs to have comforting Quake's environnement. It's a harder case, because within eight or 16 frames a model needs to comply to a realistic behaviour.
Much can go wrong because it's not only a realistic animation one needs, but also keep in mind the frame editor works with a 512x512 grid.
This means that a movement can be giving a realistic shape, but the editor will slice it back to its own grid.
With this "catwoman" I created a fine whip, that twiggles and turns, but I have to take care the grid won't turn it into a chunky limp.

The third stage is texturing, which is my bad ancle. This because the quake pal is that dusty brown it takes a lot of time to do it right.
And even when it looks right in game it can turn out to bleached or overbright. I made some static entity's that were made in a couple of days but texturing took me weeks. I know a great factor is the dark palette that make look coulors of different kind in the same gamma so discordently strange. It might be said texturing is an art of its own nature.

Finally there's the qc part to make the model go, and from here I can't say much as it is also another branche of the tree.
It is possible to make the model act in the most fantastic ways, look at that vormit ball and how it chases the player!
I made a monster in a shape of a cube of 64x64 idle pose and made it come alive like an end boss. It worked perfect, but the moment between the idea and the result were a battlefield. It learned me a lot about qc, but my prime moments back in '95 when I thought a progs.dat of 600kb would be learned within a few years has drawn me back into decenia.

So indeed, the model is not finished.
Work in progrez.
:P

Wow, thanks for the detailed explanation, even though a simple "no" would have sufficed ;) That's some dedication for an unpaid work!

Re: Quake 1 Player

After working on a Startrek mod for quake I needed some players.
So for the captain's log I created a ferengi.
Now he is a fine tribute for my years working with Quark!

Re: Quake 1 Player

Hey Madfox, that catwoman model is the most impressive model I've ever seen in Quake. Completely blew me away. The Star Trek stuff is pretty neat too. I also wanted to say your map FourFeather was really unique. Probably the best fantasy castle I've seen in a Quake map. Keep it up!

Re: Quake 1 Player

Thanks Redfield!
You're support apreciated.
The Catwoman is a more realistic model, in contrast to the other more comic like Quake monsters.
I was affraid she was a little to sexy, with that smashing whip.
Here's another jewel I was afraid she didn't make the censors.
Cheers!

Hey madfox looks cool. Are we going to see these in a new map/mod sometime soon?

Re: Quake 1 Player

I'm doing a remake of Andrew Wyllie's NCC170 startrek mod from 1997.
I like the map, although it was quiet hard to reconstrukt it from scratch.
Original it is a deathmatch map with an overbright light set, due to the early compilers.
I wondered how it would look as a singleplayer.
So I need some monsters that fit in that starship surounding.

Developping a monster take the same amount of time as mapping.
So both subjects are a challenge.
On the moment I'm gazing at the chasm rift models.

Re: Quake 1 Player

I didn't know there was a site of glDoom with the Chasm_Rift models.
For making them from scratch it's "easier" to convert them to Quake1.

Re: Quake 1 Player

All your models look very Quakey Madfox. They are great.
Are you planing to release them in a TC some day?

Re: Quake 1 Player

Some of them are in maps already, the Elden Ogre is in FourFeather.
Quark and that machinehead will be in a Startrek convertion.

Maybe one day there will be a model injector to put entities in your maps!

Keep up the good work!

Re: Quake 1 Player

Thanks.., I'm still on stage of coding it.
Watermonsters tend to act rather dull,
as if they only attack when on the same height.

So for now they have a lame awareness when on surface level.
I think I let it make the dog_jump so it becomes a bit faster.

Looking forward with what you come up with. Nice model Madfox.

Re: Quake 1 Player

After testing the madfoxed player in Deathmatch I saw it has not the same pose statement as the original.
There for it acts a bit kinky, and I have to repost the model again.
It still has a rough triverse movement, something I am not ready with.
So here is a new downlink :

Re: Quake 1 Player

I made some progress on the chasm models by converting Faust
chasm_faust.GIF
and Piggy
chasm_piggi.gif

Also finally found the SailorMoon models from Nick Cureton I was looking for a long time.
They were packed in the Quake2 area so I had to merge the weapon model additional.
This wasn't so easy as it broke down the original skin file.
It take quite a hussel to manage this without a proper UV filter.

If you are interested in one of my models, give me a call and I'll send you the content.
