Man, I'm hype to come in here after 15 years and find mapping still happening!! gonna DL immediately... screens look great.

Interesting... I feel like the user-friendliness probably limits the options for geometry creation (brushwork can do anything, this probably can create many permutations of the lego pieces that the tool ships with, only)... But since I don't have my hands on it, I could be wrong. Not that I have tim...

Lunaran.

Nice to see that guy getting some love... I remember basically just automatically putting anything he put out onto my DM server, and his design guide was kickass.

Blow me, kid. I don't know you, which means: you weren't here when this place was good.

.. I just had a weird, nostalgic reflex: and went to http://www.planetquake.com. And then I realized it's been dead for years... and well: this place is pretty much same.

F*Ck.

I guess my next quake game IS "Titanfall"...

Man, it's nice to see cool stuff still goes on in here..

D3: Phobos .. bookmarked.

.. curiosity sated. Thx!

Stumbled across this terminology on PQ, and realized that I'd seen it before but I have NO idea what it means:

WTF is a "turtle map" ?

For the record: I am goddamn CONCERNED that Id tech 5 "isn't about deathmatch". .. and I hope Id are not going to bring me any lame-assed design decisions (auto regen health and no health bar) that would make it impossible to include any kind of salvageable DM game from, say, Doom "ne...

The average years sees a lot of new games, and the fact is that after a while they start to look the same. We get 20 good games a year; comitting to one and saying 'this is it; my new passion for the next year' is a big deal, and we rarely do it. I DO think the biggest thing opposing the once-thrivi...

Getting a mysql error trying to load the site?

Hmn. I've never heard of Shadow_86, but clearly this Quake2World thing bears investigation...

Nice to see lots of nice work still going on in here. Maybe I oughta fire up Radiant again myself one of these days. I kinda miss id Tech.

(getting back to this finally) That's perfect, thx!

edit: Setting the near value to cull 'roofs and ceilings' took some time, but generates good results.

Anybody know offhand of a tool that lets you take a top-down, NOT perspective render of a quake 3 level? Ideally from a .map file, but from a compiled map would be fine, too..

Hmn. Not sure how I missed this .. but things have been busy. I played Quake 4 for the first time in about ten months the other night.. and man, is my aim bad. Like, really bad.. console games will do that to you. Still, I'll have to download this and give it a try; I'm going to try to get some guys...

I hate to be a smartass (okay, dubious)... But any time you find yourself thinking "Quad Rune" and "Duel Map" together... go get more coffee. :P

Tasty stuff. Really good work... Looks great, and has pretty decent flow, too..

Odium is right about selfshadow, although I think in Q4 that has to be done via the material/shader. (http://iddevnet.com/quake4/ArtReference ... shadows%29) Turning shadows off on models (terrain, for sure) .. I'm trying to remember offhand if you can do it in Q4 Radiant, but in SDRadiant you can d...

Id tech having 'unified' lighting for D3/Q4 does limit a little bit of what you can do by today's standards. It looks like they're addressing this with Id Tech 5 (Rage Engine), but in the meantime, you can turn shadows off on some assets so they don't cast on themselves, which prevents a lot of ugly...

GODLIKE: Are you working on any community projects atm? I'd love to see another GODLIKE level :) Thx for the vote of confidence. I've got some half-completed stuff around, but I can't say that I've been super active on not-Threewave projects lately... We have much cooler toys at work than I do at h...

@ G0th:
Hey, that's coming a long way from the last thing I saw you model. Nice work..

I'm too old to follow this thread, but I am a Level Designer.

W00t! Congrats!

Always nice to see more quake guys getting jobs.. Well deserved!

I can't help but think as I look at these : "How nice Q4 could have looked if it had shipped with great textures.. "
