really wish autosprite2 was vp parallel upright :/
maybe there's an "autosprite3" on the horizon... 

rags do look ugly in sprites.
They are only usefull in caves at distances. The ones 5th_elephant uses are better but static.

rag.spr 

on .mdl files would be nice. I don't know how feasible it is though. :)

That way you could make rags/spiderwebs that can move with the wind etc :) 

I'm looking at the same problem - I want thin fenced stuff with alpha that can blow in the wind and has lightmaps applied.

I can kludge it with some entities, but really a hierarchy (eg. bones) is needed for this type of stuff. 

#define MFH2_HOLEY (1u<<14)
set that bit in your .mdl header's flags field (hex editor? 78th(#77) byte becomes 0x20), load it up in fte, marvel at palette index 0 now being alphatested (that's the theory anyway).

or if its an iqm you can just provide your own shader while playing with the model's bones via csqc. lightmaps is less easy, although iqm does support vertex colours, while mdl would need to bake it into the texture itself.
I guess this stuff needs some new light util tweaks. 

A zoo een mooie vis 

Pretty much starting over with that rainy level as the visuals keep evolving.

absolutely love it! Perfect texturing, and what looks like nice dirtmap lighting... and the transparent textures too! Great example of using new techniques but keeping an authentic quake feel. 

love the sense of scale and atmosphere in that first shot.

second shot looks properly damp and dreary too. 

 

cubespew is spreading to the other quakes

but, yeah, what's going on on the floor in the first shot? it looks ... painted over? 

unless quake can do reflective water suddenly, then yeah it sure looks like a shoop.

Dude says it's a "concept" tho, so I guess it's a...concept. 

Yeah, it's partly shopped, don't want to throw away anymore brushwork so I'll be painting over primitives before building them. It's convenient to be able to make your own reference. 

Not Quake, but whatever ... I finally finished a contest scene and submitted something.

MODO, Substance Painter and Unreal Engine 4.

Moving on ... Qonquer map jam and then who knows! 

Why not make one of those? little people maps have been a staple part of maps for a long time :)

Bedroom maps are a staple of every UT game. Many will be made, trust me. That's not a niche that needs filling. 

...inside crates! 

Absolutely wonderful stuff! I love the details here, so authentic and personal. Love the Far Side calendar, and all the games and tapes. Zork! Bards Tale! Slayer mixtapes! Coffee rings on the dungeon map. Great attention to detail.

Also I guess all the fingerprints and griminess was substance painter? Looks like a sweet tool.

Probably a bit too late for construction criticism, but if not, I thought the empty cans looked a bit sketchy, and I would've preferred the carpet if it was dirtyish and more of a subdued colour. Also where the hell are the cheeto crumbs?

Overall though, amazing composition and really shows off your modelling / materials skills. Makes me want to get an oculus rift and just sit there.

You should make the full house and set a whole game there. 

make the commodore playable obviously ;) 

Thanks a lot!

Yeah, it was all done with Substance Painter, actually. It's all I want to use for texturing these days...
