i need to make a request for a gask mask and a gass mask view model
like it blocks the view, like in Rise Of The Triad. i know it can be done because StealthQuake used something like this for the flashing of frightened images

something like the mf12 model

I was wondering who had voted against it... It's ironic it should be someone who actually is in such a good position to contribute to it, like you, Lei... (is that one of your creations I see as an icon, there? )
I understand the possible scepticism as to whether or not such sub-forum would see a lot of activity or not but I feel that, if you look at how many posts on various parts of this forum do directly relate to modelling (and that includes many of your own posts, Lei), there are reasons to be optimistic that it will serve some purpose. Personally, I also believe that it will draw attention to a sector that has always been (I feel) the Achilles' heel of our community and, who knows, even maybe make it a place for new people to join us. We have a QC coding section, a mapping section, a engine coding section... it is actually surprising that we have never had any modeling section up.
And it can't be worse than our OpenGL programming section, can it? As a matter of fact, if what we care about is not making the whole thing look too clustered, we could get rid of that one and replace it by the new modeling section... I'm sure we'll do better than a single thread
I don't know if this is possible, but one could even imagine taking all the older posts specifically dedicated to modelling and move them there. I don't mind hunting those older posts down.

Looking in general discussion, the first 2 pages of results have a total of 12 model related threads depending of what counts as model related.

As a note, Ceruix has partially written up a tutorial on how to convert models from Milkshape and I believe has some sort of semi-tutorial on how he uses Quark to help.

Baker, I was almost tempted to write a note about you in my previous post. I must admit I was a little ticked off when you kept referring to TransloQuake has looking a little crappy because of the use of old models but, once the dust settled, I felt that you do have a point and that your instance on trying to confront that lack and trying to fix it is definitely a good thing. Trying to create some impetus here can only be beneficial and, well, if it only works for a little while, then be it... I personally appreciate your recent involvement in posting here and crafting tutorials, I think it's great
