I couldn't find the right program for it, then I used Q2mdl-v9.0
to copy the parts and save them as 3ds.
Rather a long trace for 74 frames.
I had how-now and now know-how
..,
it was an old problem.
Uploaded to quaketastic as qflag.zip

Nice :) Looks beautiful.
I'm also making a similar thing, but i map WAY slower than you, so give me a month or so :)
If I was to make any comment about the screenshot you posted it would be 'try some different rock textures'.

Currently working on his rig and animations. Already have him working in engine too but with temp poses. Once I have him working properly then I'll post more images.
The skin / texture will take me the longest though. It must be epic....

Yeah, getting the fur right seems like the hardest part.

hmm, if engines supported transparency on models, fur wouldn't be too bad. you could just make a few bits that hang off the model and the rest could just be painted on.
as it is, you might be better off just going with a white albino skin interpretation instead.
Cool

I think it will be the fur that makes or breaks it. Shamblers have fur!
The head looks like it is not hunched forward as much as the original.
Perhaps the muscles around the elbow are slightly too large? Now that I think about it, I think a lot of underlying muscle structure would be covered by the fur? It suddenly looks a bit weird!
I don't know if you intended these shots to be a size reference also, but the new Shambler looks much bigger than the old one which will cause problems when in game.
Great start. Love the teeth!

I tried this on the dancing shambler model
http://tomeofpreach.wordpress.com/2012/12/24/shambler-dance/
I added a tga skin with an alpha map so that the "furry" polygons could be shaped like tufts rather than triangles. The trouble is that you quickly end up with overlapping alpha-blended triangles, which start rendering in the wrong order causing visual artifacts. Doesn't mean there isn't a way to do it, but you may need to be careful.

The screenshot is not a scale indication. It is also in a bind pose for those wondering why its not hunched over. The forearms and claws are bigger yes but its a style choice I am going with and it looks bloody evil in-game. Don't worry you shall see :)
As for Fur... I think I will be going more with monster distorted pale flesh and blood covered skin / exposed muscle instead. of fur. Maybe I will have some fur on the back and its nether regions though.

Does Quakespasm or Fritzquake support alphakey on MDL models? 1bit alpha like they use on the sprite FX? That would avoid alpha sorting on models.

maybe similar to the doom3 mancubus... but less fatty? it certainly wouldn't be a bad choice.

As soon as I read your post, I envisioned a version with Zendar textures, but also involving Heretic2 textures and Ik/palace-style textures as well as Heretic 2 statue models like the giant amphibian dude, a huge super-detailed palace/ancient village getting progressively slimier as the map descends towards the waterfront. Then I remembered, there's no time to map and even if there is I have other things I must finish. But damn that was a great idea anyway!
