Quakis' Source Project.

No project name just yet. I'm not going to make this project too ambitious and start small, but the basic initial plan is to go for a setting with a BioShock-ish atmosphere. The project will also be rather heavy on the custom content side of things as well. It's also another form to put together my skills and do something else with them. I'm currently starting off with building the scenes and required models for these scenes. But anything after that, will come after that, but I'm hoping to make a singleplayer level out of it at some point.

Although it may seem a little early, I thought I'd just make a little thread to go through the progress of the project. Possibly a good chance to get some comments on everything I work on (maps/models/textures) to improve on what I make and ensure I can get the highest looking quality out it this, especially in the lighting department.

Below is the basic rough 'sketch' of the bar area for one of the scenes made in hammer. A lot of the orange brush work is practically going to be replaced with models which you can find further below.

Next update will possibly be some textured models.

Don't worry, the rooms and other locations won't be as flat as that. It's just a basis to work from until I'm happy with the layouts. There'll be some more variety with height, vertical space, ceiling and floor details later when it progresses a bit further in. I'd rather not add details in that will possibly be scrapped later down the road.

Updated the layout of the bar area and gave it a little more depth. Any other suggestions however are of course welcome.

I just feel like making a quick update due to the thick layer of dust on this thread. I've been pretty much busy with school, Star Wars: The New Era and recently got accepted into the team behind Hostile Intent: Pheonix Rising. I haven't really had the time to exlusively work on this personal project of mine, but I'm currently trying to organise a way I can get some work done on it every now and then. I'm hoping to make an update a little into the future to document a little more indepth with what I'm trying to achieve, but when it comes to actually process being made, it'll be slim since I'll most likely be putting more work into the two mods I am part of the team with. Sorry about the lack of updates but hopefully I can have something worthwhile to read or show in the future.
