It's not like the vast majority of people even run their game at above 1280x1024, and that's pushing it. Models I can understand, because there's bits not onscreen.
But really, 2048x2048 for a quarter of a model?
Games like that won't even be played at 60fps within the next year or so, even, with that kind of ignorant game design.
And by then there'll be better engines to code for, no?
edit: ick, redundancy
In response to "me" and my door, lol, this is for Q2E, and the average texture will be 512x512, still higher than doom 3, but fine for normal day use. Its 1024x1024 in the tech map, because the tech map is a lone map thats designed to pump up the detail and show the mod off as best we can under a PPL lit map.
So in other words, if you want to play the game, then it will run fine with normal res textures. If you want to look at the tech map, it may chug a bit because the detail is overloaded.

This level IS aimed at highend hardware, because its a techmap, but guess what, its optimized as well and runs nicely on my hardware

I'll also release a lower res texture pack for people to still check out the level but with lower memory needs (Becuase these textures are at 1024x1024, a high ers, but good for a tech map)
That looks damm nice Odium. No really, damm nice.

Hey o'dium, any ETA on this map ? I'm feeling some sort of it to run through it to see how this performs with Q2E

so hold on, paycheck? i thought this was just another user mod...
i linked from the site to 'futrix studios' but this just looks like a team set up by kiltron. how is it being financed it then? with nothing else on the portfolio i dont see where the money is coming from.

No, not yet, no ETA. This map isn't supposed to be "hey everybody this is what you should be doing!" style anyways, its a tech map, its gonna run poor for everybody (hell it chugs on mine at times, and i have a 3200 64bit CPU and 6800 GT + 2gig of ram). Reason it chugs is because its full of stuff, full of brush work, full of lights, full of really really high res textures... Its a tech map.
The real VQ2 maps will be coming soon, fully lit, and those run smooth as silk. I cant believe how nice they run, and berserk hasn't really started optimizing yet either.

you dont need to optimize. if someone cant run it at 60fps then they should fuck off.

My guess is that Kiltron could care less who calls him a piece of shit or whatever or highjack his threads to promote their own projects. It's obvious the guy is heading in the right direction, which I assume that's why the lot of you don't like him. Do any of you actually know him? I'm sure everyone who is hate posting is grown enough to know that no matter what idiotic posts you make, it's not going to affect him, his projects, or company one bit.
If you're still paying attention to this thread K, ignores these haters and keep doing what you're doing bud. I see your future turning out well, and it's good to see you're backed up by the right people and colaborating with the right companies.
