Yes indeed, and I've been looking into it. I plan on scrapping the 3D models used for projectiles and explosions, and replacing them with Hi-Res sprites to cut down on the number of tris being processed and displayed in real-time (The plasma gun makes the game lag if you lay onto it for too long). T...

You are correct! I did some snooping around and it turns out that 3DGE does support Quake 2 style skyboxes. It requires a texture to be defined in IMAGES.DDF for directions "N, S, E, W, T, and B" with a "FORCE_CLAMP" special for each individual texture. I will overhaul the skyboxes for the 3HTP with...

Mesh Test: HUD Chainsaw with placeholder texture. I had to rework the animation because it started giving me motion sickness.

Thanks! The flats are textures I've made by using real life photos. Is it possible to use models in that way for 3DGE? I used a sky model to do sky boxes in Doomsday Engine, would it possible to do that in 3DGE? If so, then it would do wonders for my sky boxes!

3HTP Update:

Water and grass test:



Ceiling Flat Test:

Mesh test for the fist. Texture is a temp texture used for animation testing (thank god because it is butt ugly, lol!) http://i.imgur.com/B4p2bksl.png *Note: I redid the weapon arms due to the fact that they used too many tris. They were super detailed (I even sculpted the individual knuckles), but ...

It's coming along very nicely! I love that shotgun model!

Progress Report: All weapon meshes are finished. I'm just tweaking them and painting the UV/Texture Maps at the moment. Here are a few renders of the weapons. Note: Not all of them are textured at the moment, and I'll probably alter them some more to cut down on unnecessary tris. Chainsaw (Not Textu...

This is really nice and I enjoy it!
