Modelling Utilities for Q2

[Whirlingdervish]

I've been looking for a program that I can use to open/edit/create .md2 files that will work with q2.

I can currently open them with quark, but I can't seem to make usable ones because they don't show up in game after I've editted them and saved them as .md2 files with quark.

I've been trying to make some custom low-poly explosion models to replace the rocket and grenade splash with ones that are easier on the FPS..


If anyone has any ideas on how to do this and what programs to use (links please!), let me know.

fragmotion seems to be the tool Dr. Nemesis is using most.

and do you have the original q2-modeller ?

www.gamers.org/pub/idgames2/planetquake/rmd/q2modeller/

you could try this to fix your quark-generated md2s.

thank you sir!

the q2 modeller was exactly what I was looking for..
I had an older version of it, that didn't work all that well, but the updated ones in that link are great.

here's what I came up with so far.. it's real simple, but it does increase your FPS during heavy firefights..

Q2mdlr9.11 would be your best pick. Not bad though

some peeps here who are interested in creating models ?

would be cool if someone tried his hands at making new PPMs.

[Whirlingdervish]

PPMs?

what are those?

Player models?

[grieve[Q2C]]

Yes, Player Plugin Models.

Seeing some new ones would rock.

Also, converting some from Q3 Arena to Q2 would an interesting try.

Doesn't Paril already have a lot of practice converting md3 models to md2 format ? This would only be a small step further.

[Whirlingdervish]

that sounds promising

[Paril]

Plugin Player Models, actually.

And yeah, I tried before actually, I was going to convert grunt from Q3 to Q2 for high qual pack, but it failed horribly. Horribly.

Blender also has an MD2-importer/exporter included.
