New Quake3 Shots/Scans

HEY DUDE... Paul Steed 0wnz you. Hoever, this less is more BULLSHIT is really getting my nerves too. EVERYBODY is going to have a GeForce by the time quake3 actually comes out. In one year from now when all the games make even HALO look like shit, who is going to be playing quake3? I don\'t wanna drop quake3 when HALO comes out to make full use of my video card. Why the fuck should I even get a GeForce when it could handle 20x more polys than q3 and that\'s all I want to play? Fuck that dumb shit who wants to play it on his iMAC, give me 50k polys/scene!

Either way, the engine is so scalable, nobody in the quake 3 community will make models with under 4k polys... anybody with the sense to download new maps and models will have the machine to handle it.

Hoever, no matter how the graphics look, quake3 will 0wn ever other DM game HARD. especially UT.

#15, I agree with you 100%. I think the modelers/skinners are not doing a good job, and making Q3 look like shit. So we bought tight ass systems for these ugly low-res models with jagged edges (shot 6)?

The interview with PlanetQuake yesterday with the modeler (what\'s his name?) really shook me up. Cause when they told him that he didn\'t look impressed with curved surfaces in models, and they asked why, he didn\'t really have an answer (he said something like \"I\'m just an artist\" or something).

I mean, that guy cares more about his appearance than the model\'s appearance. WTF?

Carmack is making the best game out there and the modelers are messing it up.

If you\'re a chubby chaser - raise your hand <ick>

I could tell you some nasty stories about some of the bets me and my team-mates used to make at the bars =O

(I never had the stomach for it and usually lost my $)

The figure depicted in the third screen capture bears a striking resemblance to that \'Anime\' sensation \'Astro-Boy\'; nonetheless, this model seems congruent to other ridiculous creations such as the big, evil eye and the male cyborgs.

Or maybe they\'re just not very good at doing eyes?

#22, all curves in games are approximated with straight lines, so if you consider the curves in q3 levels to be curves then you could consider the curves on pauls models to be curves...the difference tho is that there is no dynamic LOD on the model \"curves\"...

I don\'t know if the models *really* have curves like the levels. They\'re not \"supposed\" to.

Shot #8 looks great, I can\'t wait for this game :) Hunter, here I cum.

#20, is the guy who wrote that dumb or what, he said q3a would retail for 49.99 but yet all the links he gave are selling it for 44.99...he also said q3a is being rushed to get it out in time for christmas...wonder where he got this info...

#16, there are 24 dm levels for the single player game and there will be at least 6 ctf maps in addtion to this...so, at least 30 maps total which i think is pretty reasonable....but, i hope they release some of the dm maps they made that didnt fit into the single player game as well...

#15, q3a doesnt do curves on models...those models still look cool as hell...

I haven\'t made models before but I was wondering is shot8 a good
example of how it works? Is there like a modelling utility or do you have to
use 3D Studio or someother 3D art program? I\'m fitting to whip up some tight
models.

Check out the Mynx player model - I\'m not sure if it\'s the same as this one (wouldn\'t be surprised), but you might be happy. And yes, it\'s intended for everyone\'s favourite mother/gamer/Doctor-Ruth-replacement. :)

#10, remember seeing those shots of those organic levels early on, like the one with the tongue?...i think id is just keeping a few cards up their sleeve....either that or the organic levels had to be axed due to too many polys...doubt that tho...some of the best screenshots that have been released were those ones from the first pcgamer article on q3a...really hope that stuff didnt get cut out of the game...

#9: That\'s not a fat bald guy, that\'s a fat bad ogre. We need a realistic-looking fat bald guy with four days worth of facial hair and a greasy once-white tshirt, sporting a mean-looking monkey wrench.

Or something similar :)

Umm, I dunno. Perhaps all the shots are taken in the same level but the level(s) all look the same. And the same as in the test as well. I sure hope that Willits, Jaquays and the rest of the gang has some more variety in store for the final game. I mean, sure the levels look excellent but if they all look the same, it doesn\'t matter how great the textures are.

Anyhow, the game should be out in a couple months so I guess we\'ll see by then, eh? 8)

Actually there is a fat bald guy in Q2. He was model of the month on planetquake a few days ago.

The guy does a great job

err...that would have been #4...with that cue, im goin to bed

#5.....\"Now they need a big-gutted, pot-bellied, oil and grease-stained, 5 sizes too small t-shirt wearing, middle-aged, balding guy model.\"

ugh...i think that game was called kingpin :)
<note>that game ate royal ass</note>

With every screenshot I see, I think more and more about how much this game is going to kick so much ass.

those scans are bad versions of original scans:

These were not scanned by me. I found them on Q3 shack board.
