Texture artist needed for a Quake 3 engine based mod.

(oilslick) #1

Hello,

Does anyone knows the mod Oupost for Quake III Arena ?
Oupost is a mod wich enables Single player missions (1 or more maps) with coop support for quake 3 Arena. A friend and I are working on a missions suite called The Hyacnite Project.
We re going to make a first Beat of the mission, but the most textures used are poor quality. So we need a texture artis to redesign our textures in high resolution.

The job is > Making about 15 textures in 512x512 resolution, based on the texture pack made by Charon, the one you can see here http://membres.lycos.fr/ophp/charon01.jpg

The development forum is there:

thanks, bye

cool. good luck with the mod. i’ve recently gotten back into Q3 quite heavily, in anticipation of Q4. but now that Q4 is out, i’ve decided - based on everything i’ve seen thus far - that i probably won’t even buy it. by all accounts the multiplayer is a lower performing version of Q3. well, i get fantastic performance out of Q3 even at maximum eye-candy, and i enjoy it immensely, as if it were just released. so why should i buy the same thing but with questionable performance that will only frustrate me? not to mention the online 60 fps cap that can’t even be removed with fixedtic. maybe i’m a dainty flower with poor little sensitive eyes, but enything less than 85 fps annoys me. and i would have to make Q4 look WORSE than Q3 to get HALF the performance. where i come from that spells bad logic. perhaps when i can afford more PC…

ok, sorry i’m on a tangent. the point is, good luck and may Q3 continue to grow and remain popular as long as Q1 has by virtue of Quakeworld :slight_smile:

I might be able to help you out. What kind of deadline are we talking about?

Thanks to answer Tranny,
The textures are needed for the final version, wich will be released in febuary, or mabe january.
Do you have a website or anything else to show something you have already done?

Otherwise you can try to redesign one of the textures:
Resolution : 512x512 for the square textures (ok, multiply by 2 each dimensions for the new texture to get the resolution we need for all the non-square textures.)
We use TGA with or without Alphamap (better), or non compressed JPEG files. (and photoshop / paintshop pro formats)

I’ll send you my email adress by private message.

You can download the texture pack there: http://www.interactivedeath.net/quake/levels/charon_liquidc1.zip
If you want, send me the new texture, or put it there in the forum.

thank you.
