Cel Shaded Quake 3

[tIKi_mAn]

:D

i hooked up with what i think ended up being some guys from spain (or spain like country (which is LOL if you ever seen me ramble on irc about spanish speaking countries) (but they are good guys, first to prove my theories wrong)) who were working at making the quake 3 arena engine render like a cartoon. i fixed some of the bugs with the black outlines and they took me on as a developer \o/

anyway we released v1.0 not too long ago. it still needs a lot of work. right now it does the black outlines nearly perfect, and does some filters on the textures to make them more solid coloured. compiled for windows, linux, and mac :D

clickity click the little screenshot above to see a big one :D. there are a bunch more here www.opsat.net/images/bob/dev/q3cel, and if you wanna play with it head over to q3cellshading.sourceforge.net/ EXCEPT if you wanna use it on linux email me or something cause there is a bug in our linux one up there. i'll send you a good one.

crazy, i just downloaded this last week or so and tried it out. it was an early, early beta, and wasn't all that interesting, but the concept was cool. maybe it will improve over time.

Any idea what map this is in this screenshot?

Nice

Sub, is that from "Beverly Hills 90210"?

I never liked cel shaded games.
They hurt my eyes..

Mostly the ones like Tony Hawks Sk8Land or whatever, my eyes couldn't even take the screenshots!

Although, it's still fun to see modifications like this to the Quake series.. Cel shades in Quake2 would be fun to see

It does kinda remind me of that cafe they were always at (not that I ever watched the show!)... I'd still like to know what map that is though, looks like it'd be fun to play on.

the cell shading? it gives everything a kind of comic book/cartoon appearance by smoothing out all the textures and adding a black line around it all. just think of how a comic book character typically appears, and that's what this does. you can click on the screenshot in the first post to see an example of it.

that's just the café map (lol no crap really a café? does not look like one! lol joke.) that comes in the world of padman mod. i forget the actual name and world of padman takes too long to load for me to care :). our engine complements that mod well cause it itself is a cartoon too. however it is überboring, not violent enough.

and to anyone who said they dislike q3, baseq3 ctf owns you :D *HUGGLE*

[Sabotuer [Q2C]]

CTF OWNZ, yes

[Paril]

CTF isn't bad.
Bots could be better.
Gameplay sucked.
Graphics weren't bad.
Sprites rocked.
Models were kind of sucky.

compaired to... ut2004?

q3 is the standard in dm that all games short ut2004 have failed to achieve since q3. even q4 the q3 dm clone is horrid. the multiplayer gameplay of baseq3 and cpma are ideal for the two physics standards.

i have a hard time playing q2 dm because the mouse never feels right, and if i fov higher than 90 the gun disapears which in itself is disorienting enough.

and the models... you cannot honestly say the q2 models are any better without totally being dumb LOL.

so are you comparing it to ut2004? because i cannot think of any real word solutions that validate those points.

*I HUGGLE U 2*

I guess you've never played Q3 Clan Arena. It's cool (not as good as q3ctf though)!

But Paril, you should never grade a game on it's bots, nothing compares playing with real players!

I still say Q3 rocks! and I've kinda lost interest in this cel shade idea, cartoons rock, but I've never wanted to be in one (reminding me that every game I've played based on a cartoon I've never liked)
