when Shambler got a bit nostalgic after replaying Scourge of Armagon, I asked myself how one might approach it in a fresh way, and here is my Hollywood answer:
Remix IkBase in desert camo tiles, set it as a base in the middle of the desert. Use Sock tech textures from the machinery sub file and Q2 reckoning consoles to feel out the details. Throw in Armagon, Scourge, nail grunts, and Preach's axemen as post apocolyptic/madmaxish rift raff for a fine base mix. Tentative title: Armagon Ressurection, catchy, eh? fuck. i was going to be releasing the damn thing soon, but those are good ideas grahf.
i think i'm going to work on the brushwork some more. :P I see what Graf means; also, there is a riveted texture at the leftward edge of the shot that may be useful to create a v-frame trim along the large curved column edges if the texture happens to line up well with the planes involved, and if you wanted to add that sort of structual detail.
It would be a nice contrast to the vertical texture running up the columns. My :(
bright blue alpha blending from 1997. Gosh, it looks ugly still, I'm sorry to say. Why oh why? Maybe the shot would look a bit better with antialiasing on - now the contrast in the shadows is so big that the pixels are really brought up. And the angled structure mimicking rounded shapes is brought up too :/ :) Your earlier shots have been absolutely fabulous. Too bad I don't have d3. http://www.maricscabinet.com/a2d.jpg
^^^ I would change the torch holding brushes on the wall to a different texture though. It doesn't look right the way they're using the same texture as the wall behind them. 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.
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. 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 They are all very basic (nowhere near Kell quality) and were originally made for Quake2 but they seem to "crossover" pretty well.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 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.
