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. 

Quake was the sequel to Quake 2? 

Wow, nice work, quakeulf! Looks surprisingly and impressively Quake-ey for Q2.

This and Citadel make me want to get Q2 up and running again... 

There's nothing wrong with torches in a cave. Ignore Mug on this one.

flames look good
other shots look fucking awesome 

The skin looks a bit too simple and comicy, needs some darker ("vertical") parts like the Quake flames. 

Since I am making use of only Quake 2's internal textures for this to make it as vaniller as possible (meaning you don't have to do anything except for putting the maps in the "maps"-folder and start the game by typing in the mapname or click the shortcut), I have had to make the most out of what is already there.

If anyone can point me to a better texture let me know. 

I think it's really cool precisely for that reason. 

Fires have different characteristics depending on a bunch of factors. There must be large concentrations of Calcium Chloride in the atmosphere on Stroggos!

Go with your vanilla textures. I think you're smart to make this as accessible as possible to a great many owners of the game. 

Here is a new screen from my AD map Paradise Sickness:

There is a lighting issue that maybe you can spot: The pillar on the right is both a detail brush, with the upper portion being a breakable designed to shatter. The lighting seems to split exactly where the detail brush and breakable meet. The breakable works fine but the lighting is wonky. Can anything be done? Should I make the lower portion a breakable that is immune to damage maybe? In this case why does the breakable appear "darker" than the detail brush?

Any help appreciated, thanks! 

I'm not sure what's causing that, could be a bug in the light tool.
One thing you can try is set "_shadow" "-1" on both the func_detail and func_breakable to stop them from casting shadows, in case the func_detail is casting a shadow on the func_breakable somehow.

Another option is to change the solid part of the pillar into a func_wall and set "_shadowworldonly" "1" on both the func_wall and func_breakable, this will make both parts still cast shadows, but only on the world (not each other). This is a new key in the 0.15.10 version of my tools 

Note that "_shadow" "-1" only works if the map is compiled with tyrqbsp_ericw 0.15.10 unfortunately. 

@negke - Yup, I posted this over to the tyrutils thread and ericw and Spike helped me out with this lighting anomaly. I have the new 0.15.10 and it seemed the breakable was being lit differently than the detail pillar because of the way the phong shading was applied.

Because the pillar cracks in half at an angle the pillar end is not flat and apparently this made the phong shading act wonky. But by reducing the_phong_angle to about 45 the shading smooths out and the func_breakable and pillar are lit better. The strange effect is still there, but almost impossible to notice. Smooth like... a woman's legs. The only way I could get the pillar and breakable to light exactly the same was take off phong shading completely, but that is not desirable.

I will point out that I had some other little breakables on the pillars that were strangely shaped, very thin slices, that would break off like Hollywood squibs in a matrix scene. I could not get these to light correctly at all, even with adjustments to _phong_angle. I'm not sure what can be done, but I suggest keeping breakables on 12 sided pillars as simple large chunks with a flat end.

started this guy last night

quick mockup sculpt before committing

modeling is slowly getting easier. maybe someday it will actually be fun :/ 

Niiice. Alreading looking great at this early stage. 

Observe it on Twitter:

It's the chronologically last map of my upcoming Quake 2 singleplayer-unit btw. 

Looks like a good base file!
Somehow gives me an Archville character.

If you want it animated, give me hint. 

started another one this morning:

heretic sculpt

original doodle from days long past

original sprite mockup

after getting two enemies and a viewmodel under my belt I feel brave enough to tackle something a little more ambitious. it's nice to finally see what he looks like in 3d. now i'll attempt to make him look a little less caco-esque :P (it's not a rip-off if you call it an homage, right guys? ...guys?) 

how elongated he is in the Sprite mockup as opposed to the others. Groovy design tho. Reminds me of an evil version of Hindu god Brahma. http://www.lotussculpture.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/8bc6a-210x300.jpg 

yeah, I need to figure out what to do with that area. I put long hair there because I suck at drawing and didn't want to deal with it at the time, same goes for the top of his head. The drawings just serve as notes for when I "do it live" at a later time (which is now). I just overlayed the sculpt with the original drawing in photoshop and they actually line up quite nicely, so that's neat.

I recently discovered the pain elemental from doom 64... so much for having a semi-original idea...
