Qung Fu

[Phenom]

Hey guys & gals,

I just wanted to share a very small peek at the beginning of a project I'm working on as a hobby. It's called Qung Fu and is based on Quake characters fighting in kung fu fashion.

I am using Blender 3d and I am definitely not pro at it but I'm getting the over-all hang of everything.

It's only a few seconds long, and this is just an early render configuration test to see if the resolution displayed properly, It ended up being 600MB+ for the few seconds you see here... I need to work on getting better Blender codec configurations. Uploading 600MB+ at 768kbps is a joke.

If you have any comments please leave them below.

Sorry about the camera clipping at the beginning, the quake marine shouldn't disappear there.

Anyway, the clip.

Funny and true!


To Phenom: It's good to see that you are working on this project.

[Phenom]

Missed embedding when I was uploading the video, embedding is on now.

It's tedious work when you're still learning a program, especially when you're trying to learn 2 sections of a program creation/animation so it's obviously not my finest work but
it's something I want to do.

I think it looks good. I can tell he's throwin down some martial arts moves!

Yeah, the moves look really sick.

Hey Phenom, is the game going to have any fatalities? (No, I meant it as a serious question.)

[bluntz]

You know you can import .mdl into blender right?

[Phenom]

Yes, fatalities are planned, as well as semi-matrix type fighting.

The scene opens up to a Quake marine in meditation. Then... Suddenly out of nowhere evil Quake marine(s) attack(Might even be monsters*Shambler*!?).

I don't plan on spending a lot of time fleshing out a story for an animation based on Quake 1(Figure it out) but I would like the clip to be at least 2 minutes long.

I've thought about the current things.

Monsters
Levels
effects
Fatalities
Sound effects
Music
Voice

In that order from most important to me to least important to me.

I have a little bit more completed now but not enough to count it as an update over the last.

I'm open to ideas and comments if any of you legitly registered Quake 1 members want to share.

You know you can import .mdl into blender right?

No I did not, how can I do this? Thanks!

[Phenom]

That would be awesome to have a "Qung Fu" fight on DM3

If I could get a Quake 1 map into Blender without remaking it that would be perfect!

!double-post!

[Phenom]

Update coming shortly.

Stay tuned.

The Chosen One vs Evil Ranger

Who will win?

!MULTI-POST!

Blender import/export scripts

here ya go:
The QuakeForge Project: Downloads

Also if you want to use IQM models the scripts for those can be found here:

As well You can use any of the models for Q3 that are in .MD3 format.In fact I am using a few in Q1..
See here for those:

[Phenom]

Awesome thank you very much Bluntz!

Check out the final scene. It's very short but this is also just the beginning of something I'd like to start doing.

I've added normal maps, better bone rigging, tightened up some of the bone rigging, added sound effects and a fatality at the end!

Here's the updated clip, Enjoy!

[MadGypsy]

damn, evil ranger is a punk, he got gibbed with one kick (lol).

Good stuff man. Is this going to be a movie or a game?

[Phenom]

More like vs battles.

Each match I was thinking could have a different scenario and since Blunts helped out with getting Q1 levels into Blender I could probably make some pretty wicked "e1m2" fighting scenes...

I'd like to release a match up per month if this gets any popularity, it's fun to do and I've been meaning to do this for a while.

And yes, Evil Ranger is a punk who was defeated very easily by... The Chosen One... heh..

I'd like to see the Chosen One go up against a fiend with his Qung Fu... LOL

Do you guys/gals have any suggestions?

[bluntz]

Blood please
