Using Modern Tools For Classic Quake Level Design 

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! :) ❤

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

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

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!

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

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

Perfect content. Love your approach.

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

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

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

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!

what about ToeTag map editor ?
