tough call.
Great shots. I'm very excited about the possibility of playing through that setting, and I'm very glad you're embracing a somewhat chunkier, more I'm not sure I'm completely sold on the rock/ground textures, as the level of detail feels somewhat incommensurate with that of the stock textures. But other than that its a god damn cream dream, which looks like it will appeal to all my specific quake fetishes. This is probably the most exciting Sock release yet, something with mine-carts even!
To me, outdoor shots are always the most exciting, but that aside the last shot with the mine cart seems especially epic. Looking forward to playing this. I am also going to hold an investment banker at gunpoint and force him to hire you (at a rate of your choosing since money is just an imaginary number to such people), to create a "Quake as Romero Might Have Intended, If He Was As Badass As Sock." Then after all the right documents are signed, I'm going to shoot him in the sack because he's an investment banker. The larger model contains all the extra information that QME uses to track objects and more accurate vertices. This information isn't used by Quake, but helps to preserve the model's quality when it's repeatedly edited. You can spot the difference by opening both models in QME. Notice how the first one has 29 objects, and the second only has 1. QME 3.1 does away with this and has it's own model format called "mdo" for storing the models in high quality.
QuArK doesn't read this data, and wouldn't know what to do with it if it did. So when it saves the model again it gets stripped out. I wondered where all the data was gone.
Not that it is that important to me, but it's a rather big chunk for a model to loose 2Mb weight for the same 500kb. Qml30 shows all objects, even the small one. For now I reached my beta state for Bender. I like to add the runattack pose, as the laughing act when the player dies. Wow, I produced three models last week! must start mapping again to add them. I can see beyond the lack of lighting and the basic textures.
It looks big and doom-ish. I cannot wait to play it, I always look forward to your maps! if you'll need for betatester at any stage, i'd like to betataste it.
It is always nice to see something nonbased for you I prefer 1 over 2.
3 feels too close by. I love 4. Gives a good view of the different tiers. I don't like 5. In order: 1,2,4,3,5 looks epic. I'm imagining that some skylight, fog and a suitable skybox would give the outdoor area a great sense of scale, distance and atmosphere.
Since you apparently haven't done much texturing yet, what if it was all snowy? Experimental Pixels
