no worries. was just a bit disappointed you didn't say "oh, what, like this script I wrote that you can download here" :)
I'm dissapointed that I can't tell you that too. Keygrip (and esp. Keygrip 2 for Quake2) would be the next best thing for Quake movies.
For Blender, what I would like to see is a script that extopolates an IK skeleton from an existing set of keyframes from a model. You import an ace model you have retrieved from, say, Polycount, build a skeleton from it and build a model with it as a basis. For me, creating models and textures is enjoyable but animation is a pain in the arse even for Blender where skeletons are pretty easy to set up. here is a really cool tool I have bumped into.
http://www.delgine.com. A modeler called Deled that saves into Saw the film with PJW. A decent film, lots of nice visuals, some good theme and characters.
I was entertained, but felt the movie came off as a bit too much of a Matrix remake of some kind. Like Neo is now a guy who can cross between Hell and Earth or something and kills demons rather than agents. Throughout the movie I was expecting bullettime battles with demons and Constantine to just fly from one seen to the next (some of the ugly editing seems to support this... asking a question in 1 locale and then answering it in a totally differant one a split second later? zhuh?) That's my only real complaint about the film... oh, plus the bit with the suicide, cutting across the wrist... MORONS YOU CUT DOWN TO KILL YOURSELF, NOT ACROSS. AND IT TAKES MORE THAT 2 SECONDS TO BLEED TO DEATH. But overall, a good film, was worth watching and was better than I expected. the whole crate thing is an in-joke to begin with, so why not have something a little bit personal and fun?
Ok, but what the fuck is Floyd anyway? Since I don't 'get' it, it just looked completely inappropriate at the top of the page (though as someone mentioned the colours/details did work nicely enough with the page). On the other hand, I don't need any explanation for why the crate is there. : ) It'd be nice to see the crate fixx0red, though. Floyd is a walking robot enemy metlslime made for Rubicon2. It looks so totally rocking that Vondur made a screensaver of it walking and Lun made a func_logo of it. That's the full story.
That map looks interesting, but bleh, D3 lighting just looks ass in outside areas, would have required some hacked in lightmaps everywhere to look ok.
but it's still nice seeing this kinda stuff in D3.
I believe a lightmap is basically like a big phat texture that gets applied to the geometry to darken (or lighten) the existing textures. Just like in Quake-based engines.
In Doom3, lighting is totally different; recalculated every frame, and done on a per-pixel basis. The Unreal Engine 3 supports a combination of lightmaps *and* Doom3-style lighting, so that should give the best of both worlds. I hope Quake IV updates the engine with lightmap capability - Scampie, any comments? You can hack lightmaps into doom3, by messing around with the materials and lighting in max or something (I've seen it done on some maps, not released stuff tho, so I couldn't say exactly how it's achieved).
That link doesn't seem to work, but it makes me curious that my nick is in it...
And nope, I can't comment about q4 lighting either, sorry; my sphincter is fine just the size it is. I've played around with the avi capture code base again this afternoon. The AC code relies on too many functions that have been stripped out to work with Dark Places. Sorry.
BTW, if you are using the q3 bsp's with q3map2 with your DP work, picomodel is your new best friend. I got ran over by a lawnmower:
