Modelling Help\Screenshots\Requests
It has always been difficult to get decent models for quake 1. So a thread where people can get advice on making models and post a work-in-progress for critiques is long overdue.

Any requests for models may well get met with silence. Specific requests will likely stand a better chance; "I'd really like a knight but carrying a shield" might be better received than "we need a mdler to join our mod remaking counter-strike for darkplaces".

My Way 
Beat way to fix it by move your object ie. g_plasma.mdl upwards.
Then export your all the frames by export multiple frames to another file.
Start a new object with import the frame you rised the g_plasma gun.
You will get a new model with a better skin file.
Import all frames back to the new model file. 
Also 
I uploaded q2mdl29b_alsoq1.zip to quaktastic/tools.
It is Quake2 modeleditor, but Quake1 also.
A bit stiffy, but a good reference in between qmle.
It might be strange, but quark4.07 was one with the first modelstudio.

I use them three when working on Q1 models. 
Stiffy?? 
English slang for an erection!! 
Your Heigh Ness 
My last convertions of models to quake1.

@madfox, can you give me a step by step example as I'm not fully understanding what you mean. Thank you 
When I Use Merge I Get A Skinfile Included To The Original 
You had merged your g_plasmagun into the player model.

I tried the same appearance as your bj54262.png, loading player.mdl to rockrun3 and merge another weapon in.
As result I get a player with the weapon through its head, but on the skinfile I get one weaponskin extra.
In your png I see the right plasmagun skin, but there is interference with the player skin.

I can't restate the effect you result, as mine show the player with the extra merged weaponskin aside.
Can you send me the file of the g_plasmagun,mdl?

Skin 
That was a bit of a hussle. I'm not exactly sure what happens, but for some reason the g_lavagun skin keeps interfering with the player skin.

I tried different placements of it in the merging file, but even from the corners it kept crunching the player's back.
For me I wouldn't mind, as it's just a small side of the gun. It takes more time to scale it and make it move accordingly the shotgun.(compare before delete).

I don't have an explanation for it, my weapons just load fully aside from the orginal.
Solution I found is load the model in the Quark4.07, clip the brushes in the skin view so you see vertex points light. Then slowly turn them back to left so they don't tresspass the ones of the player skin. Takes some skill

@madfox, you're an absolute star. Thank you very much. 
 
You're welcome! 
AD Axe 
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9DxOfPvG2G1RDdoY0wtTzU5RW8

Changes: new hand, improved lighting, skin pixelings. The last one cost me the most time for the least amount of visible change, as always.

Source files are included. Ignore the hammer, it's unfinished. The stock id1 axe wasn't updated with the hand mesh and rigging improvements I made when molesting the AD axe, so it's a little obsolete.

I had to unmangle the original shadaxe from what the MDL format did to it, then the model was animated from scratch, and then it was mangled again during exporting => the shape might not be exactly like it was.

Since the hand that I made takes more space on the skin, I had to cut the second side of the blade. I could make the skin bigger, but I wanted its size to be power of two, and preferably not very ridiculous. I wanted to reinclude the second half for the pickup model, but I'm too tired after doing cruel and unusual things to 7 subtly different versions of the first half.

That looks amazing, I use all of your weapon mdl revamps so I am excited to check this out later! 
 
The hand still needs work, I think. It was supposed to be the main (or even the only) improvement, but got neglected in the end. 
Thanks For The Models 
Dwere,

I want to let you know your SSG model is my favorite. Love the small details done there.

And to Skiffy,

Your HD shambler is irreplaceable and a must have whenever I reinstall quake anywhere. I hope you are still continuing with the vore work but I lost track of any updates/cancellations. 
SSG Model 
Which one? I made two sets - one stock-ish, one completely different (lever-action).

Regardless, thanks for the kind words. 
A Website 
Needs to be made for all these cool models! 
Wood 
The model with the subtle wooden details on the sides? At least I think it is wood!

Also that reminds me, I recall you talking about some animations or the like you use for Quake and shared them somewhere but I can't find where... 
 
This reminds me of the sock's updated SSG in AD (view model). Its forestock looks more like wood than the one on the original id model.

I like it, but it's not mine.

I made the 1.5 pickup model though, except the version that's present there is obsolete and I hate it.

Also that reminds me, I recall you talking about some animations or the like you use for Quake and shared them somewhere but I can't find where...

Not sure what those could be. Maybe someone else said it? 
Wooden Metal 
Nope it's yours!

I just tested and compared with 1.5 and then adding your pak. I was mistaken, the brown "wood" is from the subtle brown reflection or what have you that the detailing on the sides gives (My favorite part)

But AD's is indeed wooden I do see that now.

-Hmm, I have no idea about my other question it was just an offering in a random thread...oh well! 
Static Entitie 
I created a folder using a static model.
Therefore, a space with an additional block, in which there are two entities with their own skin.
The exterior is an animated sky texture space.
When I compile the directory without lighting, so good.
When I using light, the two models are suddenly the animated sky colored texture, not their own skin.

How can I avoid this, or doing wrong? 
For Clearance 
Never encountered this effect before with light.exe. 
Light 
Models take their light values from the surface directly below them. Even though a sky texture is always drawn at the same brightness, that doesn't give it a light level automatically. Replace the sky brush on the bottom of the map with a normal solid brush, add some lights until it is lit correctly and the models look OK, then place a thin sky brush on top of it to restore the appearance. 
Dark Matter 
I placed lights right under the info_static, but for some reason these only give a dim glow.
Covering the bottom brush seem to give the light a chance, but as it's such a large distance, I found my skill with the sky light in worldspan.

Thanks for the hint, Preach!

Model Qc Help 
I've been modelling quiet some time now for Quake1 models, but there's one thing that keeps on erratum.

After creating my model frames according their position, and adding the corresponding qc in game the model refuses to die.
The first hits relate with blood gibs, but after three shots the model just animates on, without dying.

Missing Parts 
The error is in wocat_die, and it's something that the function is missing. Compare it line by line to shalrath_die and see what is missing in your function.
