Modelling Help\Screenshots\Requests
It has always been difficult to get decent models for quake 1. So a thread where people can get advice on making models and post a work-in-progress for critiques is long overdue.

Any requests for models may well get met with silence. Specific requests will likely stand a better chance; "I'd really like a knight but carrying a shield" might be better received than "we need a mdler to join our mod remaking counter-strike for darkplaces".

Ehhhhh 
I'm scrapping the map itself, but those columns look familiar http://www.suspenlute.com/stuff/columns.jpg 
Looking For... 
with 17 years of quake history someone somewhere MUST have created a model of a human heart - preferably animated. Anybody know? 
Don't Think So 
But it's just a blob of meat - you can probably make one in under an hour, even if you just use ye olde QME on its own :)

I spose it's possible that there was something like that in Hexen. And the HL1 gibs were pretty detailed. But hunting one down will probably take more time than making one. 
Currently Reusing Reskinned Gibs... 
but I'd hoped there was something better out there. oh well.

The finest heart model which comes in under 50 polygons and takes less than an hour to make.

Half-life certainly had a model as well, it was probably a but better than this... 
No Beating Animation Preach? 
For shame sir.







(Nice model) 
Here's Some 
Heartbeat sounds if you want them:

They're from a variety of projects; all should work in Quake. 
1 Hour Challenge 
Just to say that if you do have any more vital organ requests, or indeed other ideas for models that could be created in just one hour, do post them. I'll see how many I can do between now and the new year. Reference images are very helpful.

Since the scope is just one hour, animation is probably out of the question. I did consider adding a beating heart effect to the model, but I couldn't see how to do it both quickly and well. 
Ok Then... 
Not sure how complex any of these could be, or become in terms of time. This list is probably something akin to what the naughty children received over christmas instead of presents...

Grass 
Last One... 
Piles of books, scattered around 
Ahhhh Preach. 
That heart looks awesome, especially with the extra red skin I had lying around. Thanks! :D 
Attempt #1 
Going for the mushrooms, one hour from now... 
Done 
http://www.quaketastic.com/upload/files/models/mushroom.zip

Took a few minutes extra to upload. Probably gonna look at the gravestones next (but not straight away).

On some of the other models: The twisted tree would be really cool, I'd like to make it, but I think I'd spend longer than an hour on it, get the whispy bits animated properly etc. The hanging lantern would be doable, but without a flame inside - adding that would take longer but probably would bring the model together.

Some skull/bones type things would probably be doable, the trick is probably to make skulls that are very low poly so you can have lots, and also to make the skins match the pile of skulls/bones textures in maps - so you could have models to top off a pile of skulls brush with a bit of extra detail. Piles of books would be fine to do, the trick would be striking a balance between detail and polygons.

I guess all the mechtech torture models had to be removed from his pack then? They'd be static at least...I have no idea how you'd make a cobweb which would work in standard quake, I've thought about it before. Finally, I have a grass patch model on the back-burner right now, so watch this space... 
Wow 
Can�t open the model right now, but that�s impressive progress even so.

I was pondering the cobweb as well. Gb got this working inside RMQ: http://kneedeepinthedoomed.wordpress.com/2011/05/31/iqm-grass/

But without engine modding it can�t be done like that in stock Quake.

So that�d leave either a pretty dense poly mesh which would be tricky to build and probably look bad, or an opaque one. Maybe with different levels of whiteness and a .alpha value that could work to produce filmy type cobwebs as per Temple of Doom, but AFAIK .alpha is engine mod required as well. 
BTW 
I asked for mushrooms to use in my rmx map that has the poison / drunken basement area, so expect to see those used there - thanks. 
The Map Models Are Back 
Torture models included. Has source skins so you can reskin from a large full color image. Also has some tombstone models.

http://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=3&start=8889&end=8889

I have a few questions. Do hi rez textures for knave.wad exist?
Anyone have a hi rez texture for the Quoth long wall torch? or a similar model with HD skin.

Preach nice mushrooms.
ijed You could have multiple models share the same origin in a map. That might overcome the limits. 
And Now That I'm Done Bitching... 
this collection is incredible and I'm definitely going to use at least one model in it so THANKS. ;) 
Freaked Ogre 
Here the models of the drunken, pissing, fishing Ogre.

blooper 
Mech 
I�m already working with a custom engine - fuck the limits :) 
Thanks for those MechTech - thats a highly comprehensive set of models to a high quality as well.

Very nice model pack. 
SHOCK HORROR 
My world is shattered - the sync/random flag on models doesn't do anything... 
 
Isn't it only broken in fitzquake engines? 
Winquake Tests 
I've got a model where it's really easy to see that all of the animations are synchronised, and the flag does nothing in glquake or winquake. Has any engine ever added the feature back? Given the poor showing among original engines that could possibly be a breaking change! 
 
Did it work in software quake? (I can't run that engine)
Because I do seem to remember suddenly realizing it was broken later.
