figured out the "deformvertexes happening in unison" issue. "phase" is what I was look for. snow is awesome now :D 

I prepared test statue.
Works in vanilla.
Light is not exactly right on the 2nd screenshot, but I just have put it into some simple scene, to see if it works.

1v1 me Muk style! 

That statue looks really nice :O any plans to release it anywhere?

kreathor, maybe the grey skin could be more weathered.
Resolution is good. Made it yourselve or converted?

1) some 3D scan (photogrammetry);
2) Retopo;
3) UV Unwraping;
3) Baking AO;
4) Baking color;
5) Mixing textures;
6) Indexing and adjusting;

Voilà! Quake statue :D

Retopology consumes most of the time in this case.

I have to try add more weathering in Substance Painter.
Now when I have a pipeline, I'll create some stuff from scratch :)

Yes I will release it. I want to create a statue pack, with few different cemetery statues/sculptures, but first I would like to use some in Episode Jam :) 

statue pack
Hmmm, cool idea. Any Cthulhu statue in that pack, by any chance? I could use it on a future project. 

Any Cthulhu statue in that pack, by any chance?

Depends on how much time I'll find for this :) 

I won't be needing it before months, though, years maybe, so there's plenty of time. I have this long term goal of making a full-on lovecraftian episode but I want to finish my other mapping projects first. And I currently have little to no time for mapping. 

Due to unforseen technical issues, Ter Shibboleth will unfortunately not make its July deadline. The release of the episode will coincide with the next official release of Quakespasm, which will also be a requirement.

Thanks for your understanding. 

How about the smoking angels from heaven and hell? 

Really looking forward to that episode. The teaser videos you posted a while back looked amazing.

Maybe a slight delay is even a good thing, so it doesn't coincide with Mapjam 9. 

When downloading the terminator.3ds file I thought it would look good in Quake. Bad thing it has that many triangles.
So I remeshed it and added some new subposes.
Now it has more the look of a Quake2 entity.

terminator 

It seems fitzquake085 doesn't like its highcount verts.
817 vrts/ 1968 trs. It just shuts down.
Quakespasm runs fine. Didn't see that coming. 

I thought you were talking about THE Terminator, as in "I'll be back"... That's a model you made? I like its very steampunk look. I think it may go well with ogres and knights in metal maps. 

Lots of details go lost. As you can see the original is more challeging. So no. It's no schwarzenegger.

I got it from a free download site Space Marine Battle Group.
I neede some models for a space mod. 

I think it's WH40k terminator :D 

You can totally see the original model is from Warhammer. Your textures (I assume you did the texturing yourself) give it a completely different feel, though, much more quakey. 

Back when I first got into Quake I played a lot of a mod called Chapter Honour, which recreated 40k 2nd edition in the engine. It was a really weird idea actually, you had the movement mechanics of a normal FPS but the combat resolution was all random dice rolls according to the tabletop game rules. But it had all the space marine models including a low poly terminator:

This is actually one of the earliest skins I ever did for quake, although I didn't make the mesh. 

Tried to find out if the mod was still available somewhere. Is this it?
I found it on a site dedicated to... the Amiga! 

That's the one. Worth noting that although you can play it in single player it's supposed to be a multiplayer game, and there aren't any bots so it might be a bit tricky to really experience it.

Also you won't really have any of the maps - although I still do have a folder with some of the more popular ones - I can upload if there's interest. They are real products of their time though - it would be generous to suggest that they are stylised representations of the appearance of wargaming terrain... 

But I guess some might be interested. 

That looks good, Preach. Really a fine skin tex.
It took me days to color the thing.
No plans to use the mesh for a Q1 entity?

I watched the gif files on the site, after I had animated them.
Then I reminded I forgot it's mighty hand swing.
Another strange thing is, that when I visited the site a few years ago,
the downloads were 3ds.
Now it are replacements one can use to update the game.

So it is Warhammer.., mugwmp.
I had the idea it was something like Command&Conqerer. Funny to see such a hughe monster change to such a tiny piece on the board. 

As I am working on a new SP-unit for Quake 2 in time for its 20th anniversary, you can if you want see some of the screenshots from it here:

Not sure how torches fit in the über technological world of Q2 though. At any rate, the flame looks a bit too orange and lacks brightness at the bottom. Points for effort.
