This is very inspiring! Great demonstrations and explanations, and very cool looking tools! I think I'll have to try this. I've never done any mapping but I grew up playing Doom and Quake when they came out and am just starting to get back into playing them again. It's crazy to see how much things have changed since the 90s.

Nice that u r back. I appreciate it when u share ur knowledge!

Dude,, I was begging for prefabs (instanced groups) for years. That's my regular workflow in AAA. I need to come back to Trenchbroom finally and see what it can do!

What's hilarious is i been thinking about you a couple weeks ago as i keep striving to break into the gaming industry as a vfx modeling veteran for 12 years. And i spent like a full hour looking for you and here you are again!

If you can Blender, it kind of makes TrenchBroom easier to get the feel for IMO. It did for me anyway. It gives a similar feeling in the 3D space. They're primitives in a WIP branch, so they will be making their way into a TrenchBroom official release eventually. TrenchBroom ships with a Tool UI that requires user setup, but makes external compile UI's not really needed for the most part unless you like to use q1compile's auto compile feature.

TrenchBroom is Love, TrenchBroom is LIFE! ✌ Welcome back.

The blender export could open you up to features like making a hanging bridge that respect gravity, using blender simulation, in-fact I can think of a number of scenes that would look great if you simulated them first, and then exported them, like a pile of part/plates/gears from a broken machine. would help with immersion, sometimes you can see when things are physically impossible.

you can set Blenders grid to match Quakes!

Great work and explanation! It came out looking amazing

I don't necessarily agree with your premise, anger has an adaptive evolutionary purpose, i sincerely don't believe in repressing or controlling (over a certain extent) regulative emotions. And i also think that emotions are bad only if they make your life and behaviour dysfunctional, other than that emotions are generally neutral. You feel sad if you cannot pay the bills, your brain is telling you that something ain't right, you need to react and find a solution, your emotional state is perfectly aligned with the circumstances you find yourself in. Happiness won't be the right adaptive response in that specific case. Being always "happy" lead to self destructiion, emotions like anger or sadness serve a purpose, i won't even characterize them as bad, if they are useful for surviving they cannot be bad or negative in the firsr place. That said, I'm only talking about a balanced response, I'm not talking about over stressed and unbearable neurotical individuals, always angry for the most generic and valueless things. If your loved one leaves you for another man, anger is a great first step to metabolize the problem, we are not saints floating over the ground after all. The idea of not be bothered at all reminds me of some monks sleeping inside sheets full of bed bugs, they believe that if you are mentally strong enough you are not going to be bothered at all, it's all in your mind. I sincerely don't believe in it, i prefer to be really bothered, go out and buy some anti bed bugs spray or clean the sheets. It's okay to be angry.

That feeling, when you in Modo 16, and still suffer to align mesh to the surface, and find this video. Love you mate!

Somehow only now got around to this, and I have to say I do *not* have the time to start another big project, but at this rate I might have to shelf something else because this looks really fun. I've played through most of Alkaline and Arcane Dimensions years ago and that stuff was mindblowingly inspiring. Looking forward to the next videos!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

While I like to see some coping mechanisms and mindfulness exercises among 3D artists, I hope that doesn't goes south into religious preachery like Arrimus tried to do a while ago. So keep up to it :) Edit: I also realised that I seem to stay most of the time in this state. Critic doesn't offend me, I just feel like I look at it from a third perspective if the critisizement holds any value or if I can gather more information from the feedback. I'm just to busy analysing to be offended by anything :D I summed it up as the ability to take critisizement not as insult but as a chance to improve, and I feel most people lack this ability.

I will use these tools to prepare for the hell that's coming.

Amazing video. Please make a video to teach people how they do not need to manually unwrap every asset and how to know which one should be manually unwrapped vs others that could be quickly done automatically to increase productivity. Many people have been led to believe, that they should manually UV everything out there.

New to your channel - appreciate the content, Warren. Thank you.

This might not be the right place to bring up esoteric Buddhism haha - but you might find it interesitng that in the Tibetan Vajrayana tradition what you are talking about is symbolized by the first of the primordial wisdom Buddha's Akshobhya - who takes the poison of anger and turns it into mirrorlike wisdom. He is also called "the immovable" because he can't be swayed or agitated by the aflictive emotion of anger.

Really great talk

Time Flies... Glad you're back on my feed man!

I needed to hear this message today. Thanks Warren.

As someone who struggles with anxiety and some of the examples you mentioned in particular, this is a very helpful and welcome video. It's a terrible habit that developed at some point that I always have to have an opinion about things that don't affect me or that I have no power over either. It's so much wasted energy and time that could be channeled into something much more positive than being angry about everything. Thanks again, Warren.

I want to put out a little word of caution -- while I don't necessarily disagree with this mindset, it could be easy to develop a sort of "superiority complex" or egotistical-pride if you start thinking "I don't need to care what others think because I'm so much better than them." I think as long as you don't do that this mindset might have some good merit. There is another way of looking at things that I would like to share -- recently I was feeling angry toward someone in an online argument, but I told myself to view the other person as "a friend who is just confused [about what the truth is]." I don't know if that made me feel better, but I think it's probably not a bad habit to get into. Thanks for making this video!

I have been thinking about a lot of the concepts that you brought in this video, but didn't know what their names were, or what philosophy did they tie into : ) ty for this!

I hate books, but I learned the lesson after countless hours of online multiplayer games :) I'm also blessed with good companies that I have worked for, so I never got angry in any meeting.

This is a very good point. I think I need to remind myself of this more often. Thanks Warren.

I agree with you completely, you can't make me angry even my own mind can't make make me angry. i have read the book is called the power of now is more about our own ego but can apply it to other because after you have read this book you know how ego works, the best book its open another demension of our undersdanding.

It is good to see again, Warren. And a very timely video

"I wanna be the one who dictates what happens" - well, I couldn't agree more. It grows in me stronger everyday. Glad you're back!

Hats off, sir! I'm glad to see, you are back!!

Ayyeee good to see you back man!

Good to see you back, thank you for your efforts!

Welcome back!! Glad to see you back Warren!

Awesome video. I love the message. If you ever want to collab, let me know. I'm doing RPGs now.

As a fellow old-school level designer, this is great content Warren!

Hello, I'm a big fan of Quake 3 Arena, it was my first PC game that I bought with my own money, the large metal tin box. That game literally changed my life. I also love 3D modeling in Blender and Zbrush, I'm not an animator but I can do simple stuff. My dream ever since I was little was to create a playable character and Bot for Quake 3, I even made a character in Blender but I found no way to apply the Quake 3 "tags" (Head, Torso, Legs, Weapon) to the model. I tried exporting to really old software used back in the day but I could never get it to work. My question is, is there any way to use modern tools like Blender and export to the old Quake games? Or has this technology been lost to time? I have searched for years, and haven't found any way to export from Blender 2.8 and up. If you read this, thanks for your help!

I've been working on adding primitive support to Trenchbroom! One day... Oh, I went to grab the github article and realized that you started the request, so I guess you know about some of that! 😅

Perfect content. Love your approach.

Thanks for returning , please bring back Town Crush, it was a very wonderful game 🔥🔥

Nice overview. I prefer Necros compiling GUI, though. It's compact and easier to use when you setup it for your needs.

Welcome back! Happy to see you are alive and kicking!

to add more software render feeling, use r_softemu 2 and r_softemu_metric 1 =)

I gotta say man... I'm so thankful that you are back. I binged a bunch of your videos when I was studying at Escape and, ever since, your videos have become some of my favorites ever. Your channel is a gem. Please keep sending us content! :) ❤

I was not working with Quake engine directly, but I was working with Valve Hammer Editor, which was born out of Quake engine. And now I work with Source 2 engine, which took only the best things from the old good Quake

what about ToeTag map editor ?

I gotta try out Blender's map exporter some time, I'm still on that obj2map train 😅

Ive got so much love for the Quake 1 engine. Happy to see you working on things you're this passionate about :)

Awesome! Especially environment designs are so great 😃

hell yeah!! quake is forever
