w0w, ruohis what a nice work you have been doing. Keep it up, looking forward using these models!

I'd skip the rl-shape of the weapon, since it fires all weapons in quake
more like the old gun

I don't like the model posted by "love_ruohis" it doesn't look faithful, dont use the rocketlauncher like in the model he showed, im with peppe, keep it like the original

I don't like the idea of trading away my old Slipgate Explorer for a new one. I like his chubby looks.

what does this "faithful" mean?

uhm, looks just like the original model but a lot more clean/pretty

it means i try to make the model look like it belongs to quake as much as possible, dark but detailed textures and high detail recreations of the original models

btw, here are some first shots of all the g_models, they are starting to take shape, still need to do a lot of tweaking and shaping to get it just right

please, feel free to comment!

the player model is on a hold for now...

i took the boots and pants and made a nice suit instead, also half finnished
and just for the record, imo the player model some here have been posting and showing me is really good looking, but it's too skinny for quake, looks more like quake 2

check this excel chart for total progress

now you might be wondering what the hell, when has he done theese models....
well here's the images, just been too lazy to post here
http://www.kolumbus.fi/ruohis/temp/items2.jpg <- and don't comment on the textures, allthough ideas are welcome
only good texture is the ring

I think you should consider changing the pent star to a five-cornered one instead of the David's star you currently have.

no, keep it as it is!
Models seems awsome.

the ring seems a bit fat :/

I agree, its way to skinny!
Im looking forward with the player model beein fixed!! \o/

Ruohis: your "messagebox" is full!

A NEW Player model is the only model thats REALLY needed. But the rest of your work Is NICE and great for a open pak0. equake is getting alot of shit for including pak0 in its distro, but custom models and sounds and maps can change that for new players. Besides, equake IS NOT ezquake so, who the fuck really cares eh? I mean whats equake, new hud gfx?? Bah I havent seen any CODING specifics in any eQuake dox pure fluff. sad...

wrong

don't make this into a "flame equake" thread please sputnik

you can install linux and send me whine messages like so:
great models ruohis, really, the pentagram should be a pentagram though

how embarrassing
made the changes, it's now a pentagram


well the player model is the one that takes the most time, so i figured i'll make the other models first so that you guys will have something to play with while asking me twice a day "is it done yet", "when will it be done", "getting close already?"

hehe, so are u gonna start with the player model now? )

haha : D
well the thing is f_modified ;(
gay rule that is

perhaps we can make the new player model leagal?

one problem with that would be that fuhquake ain't under development any longer

but if the new models are md3, that won't matter since fuhquake can't use them anyways

i'we been using Quick3D to convert md3 to mdl, but that program sucks, sometimes it doubles the vertice count and it goes over the limit, and then it mirrors the texture cordinates... find me a better way to convert md3 to mdl and i'll think about releasing a mdl pack


the model is quite much finnished and got aorund and did some basic textures to test the texture cordinates..
some more tweaking is still needed though...

Bluish barrels plz, MORE FAITHFUL MORE FAITH! Great job Ruohis.

Oh and the player.mdl isn't fat, hes muscular

hmm, i'm getting better at texturing, even surprised my self
http://www.kolumbus.fi/ruohis/temp/g_nail2_textured.jpg (borrowed one tiny part from moondrunks textures though, but the rest is my)
now shut up! that's as blue as you'll get! or i'll pop you're cherry with a blueberry!
hmm... that would be sick...

/* Edit

It's just rediculous how easy it is to create the v_model after the g_model is done
http://www.kolumbus.fi/ruohis/temp/v_nail2.jpg

so, what do you guys think of it...

dude

you're crazy

i mean that in a good way

I got the guy who did that model on msn, i could ask him if he would hand to model over to someone else?

i dont think you would have to ask us first zalon.. DO IT!!

lightning gun is starting to take shape :>
texturing isn't quite ready yet :/
http://www.kolumbus.fi/ruohis/temp/light.jpg

cleaned up the nailgun textures a bit:

rocket looks fine but the grenade is still a bit too shiny for quake...

comments and suggestions please. Everyones comments in this thread have shaped my models in one way or the other, make your word count

these are mdls or just md3s?
id really like the pent/quad/ring models to work in ezquake

first md3, and they work in ezquake, after all modelling is done i'll start thinking about mdl

md3s work in ezquake? w00t
thanks ruohis, your work is much appreicated
