it's an old monster model, last used in Operation Urth Magic, but I didn't feel the original looked very Quakey.

The frame structure is a little non standard (not grouped), I'll need to send the original model itself to give you an idea of the animation needed.

Thanks. 

 

another phantom post. 

any other map models etc.? 

Important question:
Should we (I) aim at capability with vanilla quake or will this mod be custom engine only?

So what are the limits? (edicts, bmodels, etc) 

I'm trying to make my maps work with vanilla Quake or at least FitzQuake. Any particular limit you need to exceed? :) 

tronyn-- sent you a new model taking into consideration your suggestions about the last one, give me some feed back as to what you think, also let me know about the cherub...

headthump--got the older models sent as well as a preliminary concept of the drone.also let me know what you think 

i resent the files 

dylan, why? What did the files ever do to you?

(ba-boom-cha) 

if a tree falls in the woods, and no one is around to hear it, does it just lie there and rot? 

I see I need to clean out a lot of stuff from my e-mail account. Probably the reason I haven't got the e-mails. Only my subscribed services are coming through it appears. I'll e-mail you later this afternoon to let you know how it is going on this end. Thanks.

let me know what you think, as well as give some constructive criticism and suggestions... 

I like alot of them except for the executioner and cherub. 

sorry I didn't get to put your pics up on the arcane site, I've been ridiculous busy with school. Sorry to everyone but progress on my quake projects is going to be grindingly slow (that is, about the pace that a normal Q1 mapper goes at). I've got 3 planned maps for this, 1 being azure/ikeblue, another being coven of ebony/soe style underground libraries, and a third being the rogue tech-wizard one. To be realistic, if I'm doing all three this project would be released in the spring. Does that work for everyone or should I just finish one map and ditch the other two for an earlier release? 

do all 3 planned maps, im sure they will be good enough to be worth the wait. ;) 

OMG someone who actually tries to make models and skins in an appropriately evile and grimy Quake style - wonders will never cease!!

In general they look very cool (and believe me I loathe shitty custom monsters) and properly nasty. However the few improvements I'd like to see: Less humanoids and more monsterous stuff, and a bit more coherency between the models.

Nice one. 

Yeah, Dylan, awesome work. Especially the Shalrath replacement, very cool. I tend to agree with Shambler about more freakishly wierd demon monster ogre things, but I personally like all of them except for the guy in suspenders. Keep up the great work !! 

i am trying to make critters that do fit in the quake world and will be new and unique, my question is, do we want to use all replacement models and make this a tc?

oh and when the new demon is done it will be freakishly meanicing and weird with pointy teeth and spikes and claws....

also the guy with the suspenders really doesnt go with the game he is just the character the website is named after,Buck Montgomery(freedom fighter extrardinaire), it was a comic i piddled with. 

Seeing Quake's original monsters along w/ new monsters is just odd for me. Could be cause every new monster implementation I've seen sucked... 

can't seem to access the link?

Very cool - those are some of the best-looking (and in-theme) Quake 1 models I've seen. Who did the skins? They're great >:D Normally skins on custom monsters suck the big one, but these look very well done. 

i do both the modelling and skinning, its the only way to complete your characters. 

...Spring, would be Autumn for those of us in the antipodes? If so, no problem as I'm using this mapping exercise as a way to learn vis grouping, while I'm waiting for the $ to build up enough for my new sys.

I've got a 1200 brush section all sealed up and am halfway through the next section (of roughly the same size/detail). There'll be four "sections" all together. Yaaay for vis grouping, my machine would've been juddering by now without them.

I'll just potter away, send it through then get back to the other project when the new sys is up.

The more levels the merrier I reckon. 

sounds like this project will be quite large, which does make it merrier for sure. I'm thinking release for around March or April or something like that.
