High Poly monster model for Quake - Vote

[Seven]

Dear all,

Psionic, the author of the spider model, that was recently implemented into Quake, is very happy about the fact that his model has been used for a "real" game.
Psionic is a proffesional game artist and is willing to do another model that can be used for Quake.
I stay in contact with him and see that this is a one-time-chance for us to get another beautiful monster model for Quake.

Several high talented Quake lovers have made awesome monster models in the recent past:
Ruohis, Obi Wan, Andrew Joll, Tabun, Moo/OoPpEe, FredrikH, Tea Monster

I think the only monsters, which do not have a High Poly replacement are:
- Knight
- Hellknight
- (dog)
- (zombie)

I put dog and zombie in brackets, as there are replacement models from 'Dawn of Darkness' available for Quake.

I ask you to vote for the High Poly monster that you would like to be made by Psionic.

Thank you for your participation.

Best regards,
Seven

Even the undead would be ashamed to be seen with her.

The reason is again: interest of the majority

Psionic planned to create a new model, that could be freely used for other projects (like the spider).
That was around beginning of december.
That model should of course be of interest for the majority of people, so he created the alien as a test first and asked interested people implement the alien into their favorite games and give feedback if the format and animation and so on are OK to be used.

Unfortunately I was the only one who did this, so he lost interest because he has a LOT of other things and projects to do.
He planned to do this model during christmas vacation, but he had to move to a completely new forum and that eat up all of his time.

In the end, it did not work out as it should.
It would have been a great model for sure.

I was overwhelmed by the speed that Psionic has in creating new models and animations.
That alien model (shown above) was done in no time. Really.
Experience is what counts, as always....

Sorry for the bad news.

is this still alive.. like being worked on?

Wow.that one looks like the creature from the black lagoon!
Nice....
It is a shame this mod never was finished.
It had a creature featured that would make a good base for cthulhu.

@ all

Just to keep you updated regarding this threads topic:
Psionic made a quick test model to test some animation styles and model-converting stuff for various games/engines.
This is not a Quake monster. It is an animation-test:

The fiend could be a werewolf. o_O Easily could look badass in the replacement of a fiend.

Honestly,I never got the Knights at all(or for that matter the dog,How about a werewolv at least fer christ sake.)
It has no place in Lovecraft,Its not even a monster.And to boot it looks just like the other one.Should have made Cthulhu and replaced that dumb ass knight with a monster.

Dear all,

The Hellknight replacement was a lot more difficult than the Knight.
But finally it is done.

with skin 1

with skin 2


So now we have "medium-poly" model replacements for those monsters.

The winner of this poll (= Hellknight) will hopefully have a chance to be done by a professional modeller in a High-Poly version. I will keep you updated with Psionicīs discussions.

Thank you for participating this vote.

Best regards,

That looks NOTHING like the original, and in my opinion THATS GREAT.....

http://quakeone.com/forums/quake-tal...free-full.html <- thats why I consider "nothing like the original" better than "extremely faithful to the original". Something to keep in mind....

Yes, it is coming along quite good.
The high poly hellknight is almost done.
He will also have all player animations and can be double used
