The Zombie's chest looks like male, but the inguen looks like female.

Maybe it's better to make just a big bloody hole there?

@smoketetsu: I'm well aware of it and I agree with lordhavoc (obviously), but tgas are still too big.

Why bother about size? It doesn't matter for the most of us, I guess. And still, if it does - there's a reason why you're going to release three versions of each skin, right? So, why not include TGA in the Ultra version, and JPG to High one?

Ha, nice point! :-) Yeah, I guess, it would be more appropriate to see some bloody guts there, hanging from the disrupted belly.

Besides, my opinion is that zombie's eyes are way too human. Too bright, too blue. He's fucking dead/undead, his eyes have to be pale, unconscious, or at least evil, red, demonic.

@Nergal: Yeah, i have a friend that has his birthday in December, and i have one that has his one i two weeks - hmm, many of my friends are Quake-addicted!
We all are waiting for your release, but don�t hustle - just a little bit You do a great job man!! My problem is, that i can�t wait for some things and haven�t any patience..

@Mancubus: I don�t think, that you can notice any difference between a high-resolution JPG and a TGA file, especially when you are playing.. Another factor is the game performance.


The zombie skin looks great, no need to touch anything. You will always find a detail you don�t like, but that is a point of taste. For my part, i like it.

OK to be honest in this day and age of multi-GB games I don't see why a few extra MB's is such a big deal. From a performance standpoint most commercial games use high resolution TGA files just fine. Like I've said before you can have more features if you have 32-bit textures in particular the normal maps but in order to do so you need to use a format that can do 32-bit... and jpg is not one of them. If the reforged team just doesn't want to do it this way fine. But citing size and performance doesn't strike me as legit reasons... sorry. If your rig can't handle game assets as TGA files it's any wonder it can even handle Doom 3. In many discussions the choice comes down to tga, tif or png when talking about the best format for game assets.

So... any updates?

[TR2N]

Hmmmm, the silence around this thread fills me with fear....

Well there are a lot of pretty pics of the models on the site, but there's no way to download them except for 2 of them i would love to have them now

[Hazza]

Indeed- I think a part of me would fall off my body by itself if I found out that Alfader and Nergal had to stop the project.

In fact, that statement stands alone ignoring the fact that they had already completed most of the skins.
(I blame those guys nagging them to go skin advanced models- ignoring that there was only ---ONE--- updated model in all of human existence (the shambler).

We Quake-rs need to feel lucky that there are others who have the talent and commitment to undertake such a daunting task for the community of our beloved Quake. All the praise we can muster is a very low price to pay for the fantastic job being done. Nay sayers should just go elsewhere unless they are willing to pick up the torch themselves. I thank those that have worked on the project, and after installing the results thus far, I think this project is by far the best, and certainly most ambitious I have seen. Please continue this project for the benefit of the many who are very grateful, and please not let the few who are problematic spoil the wealth for the rest.

[Nergal]

Hi there
We professed several times our commitment to finish what we started and nothing is changed. Don't worry.
Unfortunately we have very busy periods, so delays could become tedious for both you and us, but at least tonight we can make another update to the site; no announcements, all new skins with relative downloads.

EDIT: despite of the delays, we're not going to resize our project! We may lack for time, but not for dedication
