Vehicles? Thread

I thought I'd show some of the vehicle progress for 4x4 R.

1947 Power Wagon getting textures made:

Still in need of modeling:

Ditto:

Those look nice

Thanx......the first one is a hair under 9k pollies, and the other ones are way under 3k pollies.

hehe love the first one, with the right skin it could be very hill-billy

i have no idea what polys mean anymore. i'm used to the good ol days of q3 where all player models were about 1700 polys.

lol what about Doom 95 I think the players were about 4 polys lol.

wolf3d, did it they even have polys?

yes..a poly is a triangle, the head was 1 poly, torso was 1 poly same with arms and legs

i dont see hwo its possible to use 4 polys

No. Not at all. Wolf3d didn't use polys. It didn't use 3d models. Like Doom it used sprites for the enemies. Hence, 0 polys. Trust me, I used to mod for it in the long, long ago.

thats what i thought, ah those were the days

Scary. lol

I grew up playing them games, and you also can't forget about Duke Nukem 3d.

Whats the poly limits on Quake 1?

got to admit i never played duke, closest i got was shadow warrior my first properly violent (and with high sight pretty crap) game.

anyone played that terminator game? weird sem-3d engine think it came between wolf and quake. futureshock i think the name was.

Wow....this is kinda funny.

We got this topic off topic pretty quick.

Oh well, I'm going to be gone untill saturday. I'll be at my bros, getting engine sounds for these bad ass rigs.

Wow nice job! Is this for a certain mod tho? Will these be drivable or just for decoration?

seeing as he is gettin sounds for them, I have a feeling they gonna be driveable...but thats just my thoughts

It's for his mod, 4x4 Revolution or something like that, sorry if I got it wrong.

4096, like Half-Life. Though in modern Q1 engines like Darkplaces, that shouldn't matter.

oops I thought the car was 4x4 nvm....Yea Half life was based on the quake engine so they should share the same poly limits.

wasnt it quake II?

Nope, Quake 1.

The Bona Fida original.

Valve licenced the Quake engine, but used some Quake 2 code too. To be honest, most of it was rewritten by Valve, but the basic chasis of the HL engine is the Quake engine.

I find it amusing that the leaked code for the 'from scratch' Source engine still contains comments by John Carmack.

You didn't need to add all that unnecessary detail on the underbelly of the car.People who don't have top of the line computers will have their fps cry when trying to play a game with that puppy in it.

That being said, it looks nice.

Then maybe those people should not play the mod...or with the certain car. He could also have graphics settings changing the models to low or high poly.

The first part of that statement is stupid.Only an idiot would specifically make something to destroy a could-be player base.

The second part could be true, but still.There is an unnecessary amount of detail.Unless you're going to play with the top half of the car underneath, and have the bottom as the top (in which sense would be an even worse idea) then you still don't need all that detail.

Take CarmaGordon for example.They have hardly any detail on their models, yet they still look nice.
