Remake Quake Project

looks great

The purple Quake sky has way more atmosphere than generic cloudy blue sky. Nice texturing! I think the door arch could do very well with some "step" in or outwards so it looks more 3Dish.

That's true, it's not very Quakey looking with this sky. The ideal skybox would be a hi-res version of the purple Quake sky, yeah. I'll probably have to do that myself, or find someone who can make skyboxes.

The existing purplish skyboxes don't look exactly right, I think.

Good idea about the stairs, too.

selfmade purple skybox with matching sun angle

ehhhhhh kinda ph fantasy looking a bit, Quakes purple had more edge to it i feel

maybe try and find a mix between that one and thisone

[golden_boy]

I tried that one. It turned out too dark. I guess I can have bright sunlight, OR I can have a dark purple skybox - I wanted to go with a daytime setting here.

Maybe purple isn't really the best choice, even though it's a remake, I should probably just go with what works. It's not really a psychedelic type of map. Quite some experimenting needed still.

Making skyboxes with terragen is pretty tiresome. Too much time between picking colors etc. and seeing the result in the map. The terragen skyboxes also tend to all have the same feeling to them - slightly bland looking.

Coming soon to a dimension near you:







and much, much more.

For example, this.

that skybox works ... and those maps look great

[golden_boy]

Oh, that's a different map actually. The one with the night sky is DM1. The other one is obviously DM6. The one I posted earlier, with the purple skybox thingie, was E1M2.

Very nice architecture details and very good lightning effects... I can't wait playing this map !!

[golden_boy]

We're working on a multiplayer-centric release during the first half of December. There should be some neat surprises. I hope.

[Baker]

Those maps look beautiful. Very nice.

Once Rhogog finally smiles upon us, and we release the next demo, maybe this thread could just be renamed to Remake Quake. That way we don't need multiple threads.

One thread per forum is enough

This is really cool, but the only thing I don't like are some of the new item models like the potion instead of the medkit.

Any chance of releasing the weapon models so they can be used with the original game and other mods?
