What are you working on?
I see you're making giant steps. I'm sure you're getting ready for QExpo
Anyway, fence textures, IQM models, great accomplishments. Would you mind me asking (@mh) how hard would it be to implement ambient occlusion (dirtmaps in Q3Map2) in DirectQ?

You'd need to change the entire lighting model. That's not really within the objectives of DirectQ which are more along the lines of being as reasonably faithful as possible.Chip wrote:I see you're making giant steps. I'm sure you're getting ready for QExpo

I don't think DirectQ is going to get IQM by the way; I have serious concerns about performance and that it was designed for previous-previous-previous-previous generation hardware. Any hypothetical replacement model format that DirectQ may or may not adopt must be either designed around being animated in hardware, or easily adaptable to being animated in hardware. IQM is neither.

I see. I should be getting ready for the upcoming release of RMQ, then.mh wrote:You'd need to change the entire lighting model.

You never know what future will bring to DirectQ.

Working on another "Urban Apocalypse" type map for Alien Arena. This is still in the very early stages yet.

Looks awesome
although the flatness of the buildings hurt my eyes...
that is, until I saw...
7UP MACHINE, AWWW YEAH
idea: make it so you can look at the ground, and if it has a snow texture, you can pick up a snow ball!

A truly rewarding experience for an AI coder: watching your ai navigate the map... makes all the time invested in the code worth it
Thanks! I'll probably rework the heighmaps on those buildings to give them more depth, I just kind of rushed through them, desaturating normalmaps, so the 3d aspect isn't there yet. I have to be mindful of fps rates for a DM arena map like this, so I am trying to do as much detail with textures as I can, which means getting some depth from parallax mapping rather than brushes.
There are two other major areas in this map, which I'm hoping to expose in Qexpo. I want this map to be a "Qexpo release" type of thing, so I'm trying to get a bit of a headstart on it, because the final goal is something rather massive in scale. I've also got another little project going that has to do with the martian's eyes, which is kind of a neat effect, though nothing groundbreaking, still kind of cool and creepy.

My current progress! This is the first map, where everything begins. A new world awaits beyond the rusty metal portal.

This is a map I'm making for my new mod, it's metal themed, with several different areas
that contrast with each other.

Transition

Transition room from another angle

Tunnel before transition room, looking into the Worshiping hall

That's just one area, I haven't started work on the others[,] yet.
