Very nice octopussy Madfox. It can be tricky to keep track of animating all those tentacles, nicely done.

Anyway, here is a Quake model to have a gander at:
To liberate your wild curiosity 

Thanks, indeed it has a tricky foot. Although I think the shoulder parts a bit frozen. I would like to go for a sliding ball as sienna can get very flexible.

Good model, it is more realistic than I would fight avant-garde with. But beatific skin setting.

I'm eagerly searching for that dust appearance after making some sprites myself.
Do you have an idea how it is done? 

Madfox, for this scene the gun smoke and dust are models with scaling and position keyframed, along with the alpha blend shader. These models have only one single skin so there is no sprite animation. The effect is achieved by key-framing these three attributes:

A closer look

The model skins can be converted to sprites with AdQuedit 1.3. You can spawn these sprites as temp entities on the correct frame in code. You can also give the sprites a self.alpha for each frame.

Here are my smoke and dust alphas already in Quake palette as an example:

I was already amazed by the way you had that alpha on the pinetree. I see your aproach is different than mine.
I see you're using Blender to make these attitudes. I never managed to get my model in it, but it looks good seeing it is possible.

Only way I can use sprites is with an alpha screen on tiff file. Other extentions loose the transparant quality.

AdQuedit, I used it once to change the hub files. Didn't know it had that ability. 

Actually it's Bal:

and quite good for learning pruposes too! 

Right in the motivation package...

Just kidding, that stuff is awesome :D 

they aren't released maps, or are they? I wanted to check the texture set of this map: http://born-robotic.net/spog/thumbnails/isntanttele.gif
It suits the maps i am making lately. 

It's for a future release. 

Cocerello, I think they are from Makkon's textures:

Thanks. Yeah, they are the same ones: even though it is hard to see details on the .gif, with the name i tracked them back to the source, on Twitter, and found the release post and later Bal showing some screenshots of that map to Makkon.

Surprisingly they look a lots less sharp on the map than on the .wad, which makes me think if Bal edited them a bit ... also because they are 178Mbytes and the textures for detail are all together into a single picture.

And, by the way, is there another repository for .wad files like Quaddicted or Quaketastic now? I have seen some new textures for Quake in the last years but no new files on either of them. 

Finally sealed that bad boy.

I'm cautiously optimistic about meeting the Xmas Jam 2021 deadline now. 

Made in Quest??? 

Just needs a proper skybox, some fog, and nice coloured lights. 

 

Also does anyone know what map has a "bloodfall" texture? I think I recall playing a map that had one but I can't remember what map. 

 

Else search quaddicted wads

ps Bal shit is as inspiring/dispiriting as ever.
Love the pointers and hints marbled in with the brainbreaking detail shots.
Negke - yes please! Some of my favourites from you are in this vein. Hope to get to play eventually. I'll even record a demo! (will probably record it in quoth though, full disclosure)
Shambler - you've been oddly quiet on the map front as of late! Here's hoping you release something with a proper skybox, some fog and nice coloured lights some time soon 

Thanks for the encouragement, I haven't been mapping nor playing Quake though, I've been catching up on other games, and painting: https://teamshambler.blogspot.com/ 

@Qmaster, are you still working on the keep mod? 

 

hope you map soon tho
