Current Progress Original PostI've been working on a player model with big beefy proportions. Finding information about making Quake 3 models is becoming more difficult, so I'll post my questions and progress here.  Q. Does this partitioning of the model look correct?

Looks a bit like Guilty Gear's Potemkin, with some different colors.  |

It's okay, though when the fat belly turns it'll have a visible split, but not too noticable. The neck seems to be clipped in there.

@fromhellThanks fromhell. I am going to try and use a belt to help hide some of the gap. Good call on the neck geometry. I need to better resolve it, but I am not too sure how yet. For reference I used a crazy body builder's neck.@|TXC| Neon_KnightI am not sure who that guy is, but I was more inspired by Biker from Q3A. Also heavy-set warriors I saw at the renaissance festival, provided good references.

Go on with the animation. I'd volunteer to do the team skins.  |

Cool! I'm not quite done with the geometry yet, but I'll post it here when ready.

this looks like a real clean and nice uv-map.
very well unwrapped.
also the skin color is great too but might need a little cyan (chin, lower face)
good work.

Still making progress. Unfortunately I am not able to devote much time to working on this, as final exam week is approaching. @unRI like the idea about adding cyan to the lower face area. My tests so far have yielded good results, but I'll probably wait until I am closer to finishing the texture to add it. |

how's the progress on angus? have you gotten any further? the idea with the cyan is a common one. its about skin being translucent tissue and it will be colored based on the amount of blood flowing underneath it. so cheeks will tend to be red more and other parts tend to be blue-grey-green-ish u can see this with beards sometimes a short beard makes the chin appear really grey

@unRThanks for checking up on me. Progress has been slowed due to the holidays, but I have been working an hour or so here and there. My intention is to paint a base texture, keeping it generic as possible, and then alter it (e.g. adding cyan to the face/chin area, tattoos, scars, etc...) for a set of skins. I have unwrapped the legs and am getting ready to start painting them. Any good tips on painting clothing before I start sifting through Google?

okay, thats how i work atm too. it's like reading a book. an hour here another there i'm very interested to see what final skins will evolve out of the generic one. have never heard of working like this but I guess it is a good idea. about the clothing ye, the coolest thing about it, is folds and drapery as long is they look right the whole skin will look good. overlaying textures work good too (denim, leather) merry xmas n stuff |

I think Riker's one (lower right corner if somebody haven't seen Star Trek TNG) could be easily done on a model, because it doesn't need additional polys.

Uhm ... having too different sized models ( too large or too slim ) can cause serious issues with hitbox.

@Falkland
Understood. The model is comparable to the Q3A 'fatties', so the hitbox size shouldn't be an issue.

So what's the problem ... You should be double happy |

Its been a long road...
My laptop's hardware went belly up, so for about two months I didn't have a computer. I just recently recovered all of my data from the old hard drive (whew!).
I also just finished up my degree at university, which has been stressful and time-consuming.
But I am back now, hopefully for some summer-time OA productivity!

Well, good luck. I hope your model shows up in a future release. It's quite different from the other models so adding some variety in style and appearance is definitly welcome.  |
