Prydon Modelling

[Error]

nice skin for my model Chillo. the only hat tilting is from me.

keep up the good work man. also, I can model some things if you were looking for a partner or some such

Don't listen to them about the chain links, by the way. Nothing's going to die even in DOS Quake unless it's like 3000 polies.

BTW this thread is huge, keep it going!

[Urre]

I don't expect it to die, it's just a lot of polies

[FrikaC]

I'm kinda sad to see you remaking models that were already perfectly fine while other things like the barrel debris, the scorpion monster, that god awful guy.mdl, the wizard model, etc all still exist as they were.

Scutum

Feedback please.

Error, if you want to help out with models, i am more than happy to have you on board

Oh! Sorry about that; I thought Quake had such poor polycounts on the models because anything higher slowed the system to the speed of chilled molasses.
Nevermind.

It would have done back in the days when people were playing on p75 processors, but hardware has come a long way. Most of the increased polygon counts in games is because the hardware they are played on is better than the system quake was targetted at, rather than the superior coding of modern games. For those that care, the limit on polygons for a Q1 model is 2048 per model. This is an engine side limit that can be raised quite a bit without having to change the mdl format, which is why QMe etc will save models with more polys than that. There's also a limit of vertices, which is 2048 in every engine except stock GLQuake, where for some reason it was halved to 1024. Even the released GLQuake source code has this reverted, so all custom engines should support 2048.

CROSSBOW!!!!!

NEEDS WORK?!

100% original!!!!

[Urre]

Are you implying that some of the other things are not 100% original?! :O </cheapy>

Cool stuff man! You gonna do the models frik also pointed out?

[Chillo]

I'm working on a dragon.

I just have the head so far.

[Error]

really like the shield.

good start on the dragon also

[Error]

I think I'm going to start working on all the unique/rare items in Prydon

[MauveBib]

I think guy.mdl is one of the most important models to be replaced. It is just so shoddy compared to the new (or even old) human models.

[FrikaC]

fem.mdl also.
