Tutorial: Rotating Brush Models for QuakeWorld

[avirox]

Much as pointer entities do work essentially the same way, I kind of see it the way goldenboy does in that origin brushes really are an established standard for mappers these days. Even source engine games still rely on them, and many other engines as well. Either choice "works", but I think we should give mappers the option to choose at the very least.

[/my 2 cents]

Does someone have a compiled bsp from this that works in DarkPlaces that supports this? And if so, can they post a download link?

Such a map would be a good testing tool for others to ensure proper engine support.

rotate.map + hmap2.exe + rotate.bsp: (Works with a current version of DarkPlaces)

@gb: I hear you. I'm just doing what I can to help advance this. I'm not Mr. QuakeC. Note: from the video you'll see the brush is quite solid, in an older version of DP it wasn't solid.
