I had nothing to do so I just worked a bit. I sawed(?) it out of a thin copper plate, added facets and then grinded it. The plate was a quite old one and not flat anymore, that's were the uneven and quite ugly surface comes from. It is not really faithful in the shape either, I didn't print it but drew it freehand. Well, just for fun afterall :)

VoreLord: Wow, this offer made me totally speechless. I think I totally misused the word "bid", seems like everyone misunderstood it first. =(

wrath: no :P 

How long do these take to make on average? (The Quake runes). 

Doing them consists of two parts. One is getting them cut (which I did myself in spring, but can't do now). The pre-work (configuring the CAD/CNC stuff) took about 1 hour. Assembling and cutting few moments. Adding structure is different. I made some very detailed with small round hammers (pic below), also I experimented a lot. I made ~12 runes in spring and that took one whole day. It's not too much work. What takes a lot of time is to get them rusted, but as they do that all by themselves (2-3 weeks) that is the laziest part. Finally I cleaned them and added varnish, that was about half an hour for three runes.

The most detailed one (mine,heh! which got a dive in saltwater to rust now since I loved the rusted!):

The end1 rune took roughly 2 hours. 

with "two parts" I meant the part that someone else does for me (cutting) and what I do myself. 

How big are the runes? 

i would love to have a keychain quake symbol :) 

Now that I would pay good money for; especially if it were high quality like the runes seem to be. 

you rock so much!

/me is going to suicide because of the silly post not delivering me this beauty 

A 30 second gameplay footage trailer of Industri (a Doom 3 project I've been working) has been release.

Check the main Industri site for more details - http://industri.sourceforge.net/

For the click / read lazy:
- XviD format (best quality) http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/industri/Industri-23-aug-06-XviD.zip
- WMV format http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/industri/Industri-23-aug-06-WMV.zip 

different from all the base maps being released, good thing :) 

I remembered seeing this and had tried to track it down but couldn't find any references to it (didn't help that I couldn't remember who was making it or what the name was)

Looks cool. 

What happened to the improved curve-building tutorial you were going to do? 

I made a slow and relaxing track in FLstudio.It is called Flow Inside you can download it from here:

I'm too lazy to find music thread.
If anyone cares. 

...yum! Seeing the development from Tenebrae, through T2 and then D3 is rather interesting. Doom3 seems to be the best choice, but it's amazing how close you got with the other engines (models aside). looking forward to this one :) 

I'll let you know as soon as I find out what happened to all my free time. 

Well hurry up, there are curvy parts of pbrsp2 waiting to be built!

I would have graded Trinca's a bit higher as I thought it was one of the better executed rounds of monsters sort of endings, but I agree with mine and Zwiffle's and Pope's. 

very chilled, but the high notes on the piano seem to clip or distort at points, try some compression of em.

What VSTi are you using for the synth at the beginning btw? 

What VSTi are you using for the synth at the beginning btw?

The synth in the begining (and thru all the song) is the standard channel in FLstudio called Cytrus with the first preset.

It's my first rather good thing I made in this program, I'm only learning it. Point me what is VSTi? 

VST = Virtual Studio Technology.

Ie, synths, effects units etc, everything you use in FL is a vst.

I recommend you check out reFX vanguard (its a vst synth) you can get FAT sounds from it. Also "Synth 1" and "crystal" are good too. 

don't go the way of moby. He's done enough damage of oversimplifying relatively beautiful songs into well... simple.

Keep it complex. And more into it. This reminds me of some tracker stuff done ages ago. It's a good start. You'll get good in some time. 

About 15cm tall. See http://spirit.enjoys.it/quakerune/spiritsquakerune06.jpg 

I know what I would use to brand them :) 

Hi guys, I'm just back from holidays (3 weeks).. What happened there ?
