When I want to convert to MDL or MD2 i have to use Quick3D, then resave it in qME. The cons are that quick3d vertically flips the UVmap, and also it destroys the normals.

ugly but it's my only md2/mdl pipeline :(

Seriously, Quark does a pretty nice job from what I have seen. Try it out. Not a ...

Read Preaches tutorial on Qexpo and everything... Been trying to get some help from Blender3D forums about animating directly into Shape Keys etc...

But what I am hearing is simply to:

Put together the animation and everything as a Quake 2 or 3 model, animate then find an application (Quark) to ...

Hmm... I have been looking for a specific mod that I have somewhere on CD that has a grenade, that when it hits the ground causes a shockwave of explosions... It was just really fun watching it wipe rooms clean, but also dodging the blast yourself.

that is all I want back really, but other mods ...

A good modeler would certainly come in handy in this community :)
Well, maybe I'm just talking for myself, because I suck at modelling :P
Well I don't think modeling is the problem, it is the animations that really screw things up for people, because Quake's animation system sucks. I think I might ...

Ok, sorry about the double post, but the in terms of using blender for animations I have noticed that Shape Keys are used and not the IPO driver.

So I am guessing right now, but it seems like you CAN model in blender and use a skeleton based animation, then assign Shape Keys per frame for the ...

Obviously, its his Hazard Suit, the same one that gives him the great strength to take shotgun blasts and keep running (...) but will be rendered unconscious instantly if someone turns out the light before shuffling around and shouting "get 'em!"
LAWLS... yeah, a night stick would take him out no ...

Anywho, if you ever need any help with getting a new monster into quake, give me a holler and I'll see what I can come up with. :wink: (even though I'm not all that great at modelling organics, I can definatly help out with coding and some mapping)

Mapping is where I have no experience. So I will ...

I can't wait for you to discuss all the box stacking and simple machine manipulation techniques in Half-life 2!!! OMG, someone should write a tutorial on how to appropriately stack boxes with symmetry!

Or explain how a single guy could pull a barrel of air under water!

Very nice, ShoTro!

I especially like the hunter, I don't suppose you could be convinced to skin and animate that guy (well creature) into some freaky cybernetic vore / vore sister species?

I'd be willing to help with the code and a demo map for it.

(/me imagines that fighting against that thing ...

Hey thanks Dr. Shadowborg and Leileilol. For the palette there was a converter out there so I got it working pretty fast. I am trying to figure out how the best way to import would be, frame by frame seems to work fine for what I am doing since I am looking at the characters geometry and scale Vs my ...

Might be a stupid question, but is there any import for Quake MDL format models in Blender 3d?
You could convert a MDL to MD2 or MD3 then import that

But how? The issue is I can't seem to find any practical export from MDL. I thought Milkshape would have a way to open MDL so I could export as ...

Might be a stupid question, but is there any import for Quake MDL format models in Blender 3d?

Update: Nevermind, did a DXF export from qMe and then imported into blender just fine. A single frame is all I needed.

Does anyone know if the script ignores bones and just collects the mesh data ...

Deep Ones: As long as you can tell where water is (which is hard in quake sometimes without waypointing or other hint objects), you can definitely have creatures that will move in and out of liquid.

I agree, it might take a decent effort on the part of the map designer to help put these effects ...

Without modifying the default weapon set but adding new creatures to the universe, would taking some of the raw elements that are focused on in Lovecraft's works destroy the game?

Creature idea:

Deep Ones:
Description - Like a humanoid rot-fish the deep ones get their power from the sea. Immune ...

Hi!

Some interesting potential there. Looking forward to what you have to show!

Regarding Quoth, I've seen Kell lurk here some, and even post a few times - don't recall if I've seen necros around, but they're more active at func_msgboard which is heavily mapping oriented - and Quoth is kind of ...
