OMG !!

Really impressive set of well done shots !

It has a certain Kinn flavour with the greens and copper colours.

Actually

I meant to say Kona not Kinn...

Color & Brightness Correction + Light Dithering

This is how vanilla Quake renders dwmtf.bsp:

And now this is how Retroquad renders it:

There's no colored lighting and no texture filtering on this screenshot.

Vore... HD... Remake WIP!

So yea... I could not resist starting on this one just as I finished up the Shambler. Might as well keep the momentum going right?

Vore Wip Screenshot!

This is the final mesh and unwrap with a temp rebake of the old texture with some quick cleanups that included fragments of the face from the GIB head texture. Same workflow that I employed on the Shambler. So get the shape done first and then work ontop of original texture as a starting point though ultimately that gets replaced almost entirely.

So like before I will most likely setup my animation rig with proper animations before working on the final texture.

I'll keep you all posted!

It looks like a great model but (I probably won't be the first to say this) - the addition of ladybumps and a slim waist may not be to everyone's taste :}

Was A Lumpy Thing :P

#13242 posted by Skiffy on 2016/02/09 17:14:55

In the case of the vore... It really was so badly constructed with zero lack of any sort of anatomy. We'll see how it looks like with a more final texture. For the torso I will be going for a more gaunt emaciated ribcage / waist.

Ha it wont be sexy when done I hope. That or folks are in to some freaky stuff on this forum....

#13243 posted by FifthElephant on 2016/02/09 17:32:17

Interesting stuff there Mankrip... is there a major performance hit with this?

Voorrre!

#13244 posted by mjb on 2016/02/09 17:39:12

Whew, the vore getting a Skiffy job? Fantastic.

I remember first hearing the idle sounds of the vore and it chilled me to the bone.

#13245 posted by FifthElephant on 2016/02/09 17:41:46

That's great Skiffy!

I always thought the Vore was female anyway. Looks great so far, can't wait to see how this progresses!!

Fifth

The only significant performance hit comes from the dithering, mostly because the lightmap uses a separated surface cache now, which is combined with the texture in realtime.

The color & brightness correction has near zero impact on performance.

#13247 posted by metlslime on 2016/02/09 17:49:29

Resist the urge to add human tits to a weird interdimensional monster just because it's female. The lovecraftian horror that comes from unknown things from beyond our world is reduced when they have relatable human features.

#13248 posted by metlslime on 2016/02/09 17:50:21

(other than that, looks good :)

Relatable Human Features

#13249 posted by oh, that person on 2016/02/09 17:53:51

Like breathing.

#13250 posted by FifthElephant on 2016/02/09 17:54:16

CZG told me that you need to add a vagina... which, I assume, is where vorelings come from?

Also make a birthing animation.

Screw all these guys not wanting a female vore ;)

Skiffy

#13251 posted by Shamblernaut on 2016/02/09 17:57:46

can you make the vore really twitchy? like really fast acceleration of movements.

might make her seem more arachnid-like

Vore

#13252 posted by adib on 2016/02/09 18:37:48

I think it could make a subtle suggestion of female anatomy, yes. If people notice, it adds an even more twisted look. So far is looking great.

I saw Fifth's shambler video. Its movements are so well done, so smooth, it's impossible not to wait for all other monsters' revamp.

Man, this is some wicked render! Retroquad (I still love "Retrowheel", but anyway) is gonna be outstanding.

P.S.:

#13254 posted by adib on 2016/02/09 19:24:18

it's very clear now that you're not reinventing the wheel: this and other screenshots show what you're trying to achieve and it looks very unique.

Agreed With Metlslime And Adib

#13255 posted by mjb on 2016/02/09 19:25:09

I always got a feminine vibe from the vore monster.

I think subtle suggestions would enhance the model but nothing further than that in my opinion.

#13256 posted by Kinn on 2016/02/09 19:31:13

You guys hang out with the wrong women. I never got the "vore is a girl" thing :/

#13257 posted by FifthElephant on 2016/02/09 19:32:49

you haven't met my ex.

#13258 posted by negke on 2016/02/09 19:35:52

According to the Quake manual, the vore is male!
I concur with metl's statement.

#13259 posted by Kinn on 2016/02/09 19:38:05

Oh god this is the new "Fiends have eyes" / "Shamblers have fur", isn't it? :(
