Paul Steed, Artist on Wing Commander and Quake Series, Dies
I know FrikaC made a cgi-bin version of the quakec interpreter once and wrote part of his website in QuakeC (LordHavoc)

RIP
p.s. he didn't work on Quake. News sites are getting that misinformation from MobyGames.

Sad news. A lot of the distinctive look of Q2 and Q3A was entirely down to Paul's work; he was a true original creator at a time when others were moving to homogenised photorealistic blandness.
We had the power, we had the space, we had a sense of time and place
We knew the words, we knew the score, we knew what we were fighting for

I'm sad right now, Quake 3 has some of my favorite character art ever.
RIP bro.

You're right, AFAIK he worked on Q2 and Q3. He loved to make naked girls.leileilol wrote:RIP

Re: Paul Steed, Artist on Wing Commander and Quake Series, D
Indeed. His last Q3 model was Hellchick , which was a very noticably horny, bouncy and topless demoness based on (and voiced by!) Hellchick.frag.machine wrote:He loved to make naked girls.
It may sound extremely perverse written, but she's relatively tame when compared to crakhor.
I'm so tempted to do a tribute, but Blender can't import BIP files. Infact, some of OA is a tribute already (especially Angelyss, which was made to combine certain elements of Crakhor, Hellchick and Hunter into one)

Amidst the sadness, this made me smile (from Carmack's twitter: https://twitter.com/id_aa_carmack)
half the studio was, quite literally, scared of Paul Steed...
