Are some of those textures from Blood? 

Nice screenies !! And where come the textures from ?? 

R0x0rage. I like it. Interesting style. I like how the plain rock texture allows you to have a quite uniform colour scheme but still have an obvious delineation between natural rocks and built-up sections. 

Nice 

run with 32 bits to avoid rasters, it look way better. I don't remember the command line for fitz tho, maybe it's changeable in the menu too.
Where is that rock texture from?

The thing looks pretty good, at least the style and colorspace is quite consistent. 

quakeclient.exe -bpp 32 

Blitz - I was wondering about that, I'll make the change and post some new screens.

Phait / JPLambert - I made all but the slime texture and one of the original Quake emblems (I will likely make my own versions of those before all is said and done). They are all very basic (nowhere near Kell quality) and were originally made for Quake2 but they seem to "crossover" pretty well.

Shambler - I am all but addicted to terrain in my maps so I made the rock textures with my addiction in mind, as I made the rest, in hopes that they would mesh well. I thank you for your comments, seems like I was a little successful there, thank you.

Bambuz - Will do, for as long as I have been doing the Q2 thing... I can claim all but zero knowledge about Quake, any hints such as that are greatly appreciated.

I'll have some serious n00bish questions for the lot of you pretty soon. 

Link for the textures...

http://www.maricscabinet.com/textures.html

They are not in .wad as of yet, I'll gather the ones that are worthwhile and get links up soon. 

I really like it, but I find the lighting a little shoddy and too bright in some of the bits, especially the picture where you are close to the bottom. I think you should turn down the brightness of some the lights and use several weak ones instead. 

voodoochopstiks - Good point, the screen caps were curved up and brightened for the int4rw3b though. The actual in-game is much darker and more "contrasty". And honestly, I epected to get (read hoped) good feedback on lighting and such, this being my first delve into Quake, I am sure that I will need a load of experienced critique.

I am a good way off from actual beta testing I think. 

I'm glad you finally have a website. Now i can finally look at screenshots of all your maps. 

Thanks for the texes !! Oh, and some of the screenis of your Q2 maps are really cool 

Work in progress.
4 to 6 weeks until completion.
300+ monsters.
Brightness and contrast enhanced for screenshots.
One map but may need to become two as already exceeds clip-node limits and dangerously close to marksurface limits.
No more screenies until release.

Go Mike, looks fat and flavasome. 2nd looks a bit boxy but 3rd more than makes up for it, looks cool. 

but a bit bland brushwork wise. ALso, that lava texture is awful. 

Nice screenshots !! And BTW, very weel DKT3 textures use.. Keep it up !! 

But what's with that lava texture? 

It's original DKT3 lava texture... I guess it would be cool to enlarge its texture ratio twice or more... 

I like the first picture. The other also look interesting. 

First few shots are very atmospheric, and I salute you, you freakin' texturing genuis, becaue there is that one texture on the columns of the second picture that looks just right here, I've played with it many times, and was convinced it would not look good on anything. 

the second screenshot reminded me of zelda: ocarina of time's graveyard dungeon. awesome! keep going 

Damn you mike, that's almost the exact same texture theme I'm using in one of my maps. =D
Looks good though, looking forward to it. 

Although this is the one in the .wad that I am using, and it is already 256 x 256 (in the main cavern shot), I am happy to try different lavas is anyone cares to suggest some.

It is a bit of a mixed texture set - Knave, Daikatana, Quake101, and bits and bobs from places now lost in the sands of time.

Thanks for the positive feedback. 

It looksi nteresting, reminds me of Hexen 2. But the lava tex makes me think of a pool of crushed fruit loops. 

Whatchoo got against Fruit Loops?
