Quake 4 Renders and Concept Art

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the eye-candy-from-the-future dept.

p0z3r writes "Following a recent story about Endorphin (from a previous Slashdot post), I came across the newly released Quake 4 renders. Hope you like them!" They're still lacking in the color department, but man oh man are they full of detail. I'm betting Quake 4 requires me to upgrade my hardware again, but I'm inclined to say it's worth it for graphics like these. Update: 07/19 17:54 GMT by S : It seems the images have now been removed from the Quake3World site.

  1. A clever ploy to get into space by wowbagger · · Score: 5, Funny

    This is a very clever ploy on Carmack's part to get into space:

    1) Design games that force players to buy new hardware.
    2) Collect kickbacks from nVidia, ATI, Intel, AMD.
    3) Profit!
    4) Build spacecraft with profit.
    5) Go into space.
    6) Profit!

    Doom 3 is being developed by Id Software. Quake 4 is being developed by Raven Software. Get it?

  3. Re:In game models? by egomaniac · · Score: 4, Informative

    These are the extremely high-polygon count models from which the final models + bump maps will be computed. The in-game models will have far fewer polygons, but automatically-computed bump maps that simulate the higher-count renders.

    Take a look at Polybump for an example of this technology.
