It looks like an art gallery. Not a criticism, just an odd vibe for Q3DM. 

Good - I was going for the 'soulless corporate headquarters' kind of look, so anything modern and clean isn't too far off. 

it doesn't look soulless enough; it looks like a nice place to live :P

The visuals are lovely though, apart from shot 3 has too many lights on the underside of the overhanging bit 

Those are some very nice shots. I agree w. Starbuck re: cluster of lights in shot 3.

A very different look, which is always nice for Q3.

Beta? 

it's very appealing, but not soulless at all. cozy is more like it. ;)

oooh, I'll buy that for a $ ! 

that fucking rocks, LG was by far the worst skinned weapon IMHO. As much as I liked Harlequin's replacement for it, it altered too much to look like LG anymore but this is perfect.

I couldnt talk you into reksinning the YA and RG (the q3 version was perfect) could I? 

kell: sure. All my talents are for sale

nitin: I`m affraid no, atleast not any soon. Its really hard and timeconsuming. 

that's cool, I can always hope though I guess. I have a temp replacment for the YA anyway 

you should pimp it on the polycount boards.

the Dragon Knight model for Q3....i hadnt seen it before, but its some seriously impressive modelling 

check out q4gladiator, q4hybrid and magdalena if you want some more impressive stuff. 

the Q4Gladiator looks particularly nicely formed... these skinners/modellers/animators/etc really must go through hell concentrating on one thing for so long! 

Magdalena is the best, because - apart from the success of all the design elements within it - it's the only one that can be run on any machine for which Q3A was actually geared. I've seen dozens of images of the Dragonrider, but so far I can't offer an insightful opinion on the actual model because I have yet to find a machine that will load it in Q3 :P Same goes for the Gladiator.
Crusader ( with skinning by Rhorsach ) and Binky are also excellent for the more standard humanoid characters. And Lobo is the truest to his original comic book inspiration, with just the best custom sound :) 

A never-released Cube map. I still may never release it. But at least now you have pretty pictures to look at.

dragonknight actually takes up less memory than magdalena I think. I can run q4hybrid, q4gladiator, magdalena and dragonknight without any troubles on my p3733+gf2 (though obciously not all at the same time). I think all you have to do is set com_hunkmegs to 256.

Others worth checking out are bloodseeker, churchill, dark_knight, grimdemon, koollight, samjai, scurvy, rova, spacemarine40k & violator128. 

I'd like to see models photo-source their textures for more realism.. 

Id love to see photo-sourced texture for the like of magdalena :)) 

Yes. 

the hooligan model has a photoshopped skin.... it isnt too bad but its nothing special 

. 

i meant photosourced 

Well, I can respect the skill of a nicely done Photoshop skin as long as it was entirely from scratch.. but photos always look better when conveying realism.
