What are you working on?

Directional bloom by color? Mysterious.

Tried 16 shade palette, shirt/pants things and MDL format. Some colors look ok, some don't.. and lots of similar colors. And apparently MDL didn't like having UV vertices in the middle of pixels. Maybe I'll use something else, and fewer player colors.

The jet/jump pack thing shows in the first person view at the top, so player knows when he has it.

The minigun has a 0.6s prespin and then fire at 1200rpm. Sounds/code, but no animation yet. Also did some accelerating rockets. Maybe I do a rocket launcher next.

Up/Down looking done with 5 animations/poses and the 1/3rd pitch angle effect. I think it worked quite ok. Don't know how fun it'll be to copy about every animation 5 times...

Hello,

I was trying to get the vwep (visible player weapon) models to work via qc.
The engine I used is DarkPlaces, but the qc code does not need dpextensions.
I think it will work with any engine, as it doesnt make use of viewmodelforclient or any other DP specific extensions in 3rd person mode.
I made a short clip (1st person mode effects can only be achieved with extensions though...)

I tried to make an 'interactive crosshair' which reacts to the individual selected weapon and its specific range towards enemies.
If the enemy can be shot/reached with the selected weapon, the crosshair turns green. If not, it turns red.
It is a rather simple qc mod.

I like the palette and i like the models jim, looks nice!

Seven, the crosshair bit is cool, useful too, The vweps are very nice, the shotgun points at a weird angle though..that could be more forward. and the weapons could be more up against the shoulder.
I love the shader work, but im most jealous of the crunchy weapon switching sounds, where did those come from?

[toneddu2000]

very nice palette, jim!
Great work Seven! Recoil and weapon carrying animations are great! I couldn't download all the stuff because I reached "downloads day limit" (bah..) so I would like to know: did you use csqc animations for player? The technique that ChristianIce and Nahuel showed on QuakeOne forums?

[Nahuel]

experimenting with brick textures and "terrain generator" tool for MS3D is very easy to implement in a map,

[toneddu2000]

@ Seven: well, knowing that you didn't use any advanced techniques, the result is even more impressive!

@Nahuel: Nice, but I'd lower specular a lot: bricks are 95% diffuse

[qbism]

Terrain generator for uneven ground, or the brick wall? The specular is fine if other textures also look wet and the sky looks like rain.

[Spike]

oh, I'm sure the specular is fine. those bricks ARE metal, right?

[Seven]

Hello Nahuel,
You always come up with great findings !
I am sure Nahuel placed a light near the wall, just to show the effect.
And it looks beautiful and shows the possibilities really good.

Hello gnounc,

@qbism @toneddu2000 is just a test , i am not using offsetting map or exagerated "specular map", is just a model in the wall. the terrain generator is for the bricks in the wall, so i get the model with ms3d and writing the hieghtmap in gimp after i optimized the model (reducing poly count ) . the gloss mapping is exagerated and normal mapping is fine i think.

@Seven yeah the light is very near to show the shadows of the bricks, i think this tedious way to make "bricks" is nice to get medieval walls.
@Spike the bricks are of wet stone

Very interesting stuff,gb. Thanks for sharing! The "Make it shootable!" part is what I was searching for a bit!
