Quake Expo Finds

Post by FrikaC »

The Quake Expo is always vast. I thought it might be cool for people to post / comment about things they've seen at the expo here. One rule though, you can't pimp your own stuff.

Right now it's just opened, so there's not much there yet, but I'm really interested in that Quake Hot Pants thing. It's an interesting little teaser. Also Preach's mapgen mod sounds really cool.

The map generator that Preach is working on sounds really good.

CocoT's Infrared mod looks sweet! It's one of those rare types of games that's terribly simple, but put together in creative and challenging ways to make the player really love to play it. :D

Can't wait.

I too look forward to whatever comes from QuakeMatt. He has great stuff, and I especially want to get my hands on Panzer.

Entar: You'll be pleased to know that I'm uploading Panzer as I write this! Thanks for the kind words!

The Quake 10 Year Project's got my attention at the moment, if only because it's got parallax mapping. I love me some parallax mapping (it's the most complex shader effect I can program myself)!

Of course, there's some fine looking maps floating around too. I wish I could make things like these:

*Relief* mapping :)
Parallax mapping looks like crap at any angle more than 5 degrees off perpendicular.
F. A. Špork, an enlightened nobleman and a great patron of art, had a stately Baroque spa complex built on the banks of the River Labe.

Well, close enough. I think all forms of virtual displacement mapping look great, and I'd like to see them used more in games. Parallax mapping can look good if it's done right, too.

Hey, I recognize that pic. The response to my booth has been pretty overwhelming for me, now I feel obligated to complete it, though I believe screenshot captures are an underappreciated and complete art in themselves . . .

Thanks, Spamalam and QMatt -- and right back at you. I wished I could write highly useful physics libraries. I have just started to really get my hands dirty programming in QC, Gyro will be an integral part of the larger episode that Mortisville is a part of; in the release later in August, I plan to use Gyro for one weapon, a variation on the lavaball gun using a custom model of mine http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/2806/railgun9aw.jpg
(disregard where it says, rail gun, it is a lava gun now) to give it better 'push' when targets gets hit.
