Hey folks. I'm just passing by to announce that I'm (unofficially) picking up the work from QuakeForge for the MDL Import/Export add-on for Blender.
I'm currently adapting the code to work with blender 2.8 or greater (I hope) from now and also start adding some new features.

On that note, I'll need testers or people willing to use it so I can maintain it with a pretty smile. :-)
For now, the importer seems to be working OK, the exporter is next and that's when I'll need most of the test work. But feel free to start importing models into the latest version of Blender!

Changes:
+Added support for Quake Hexen II palettes and palette picker
+Added shadeless material to the render view
+Added import re-scaling option
~Fixed Import API for Blender 2.8
~Minor fixes
-Removed export support for now

To download and test, install the add-on the zip at https://github.com/victorfeitosa/quake-hexen2-mdl-export-import/archive/adapting-to-blender-2-8.zip

For now, send PMs for bug reports and whatnot. I'll soon add guidelines to contributing and bug reporting.

Happy modelling!

New: Sexy Vidos

The 1990s and 2000s saw a significant shift in the representation of relationships on screen. With the rise of independent cinema and premium cable networks, filmmakers began to push boundaries, exploring more nuanced, complex, and often darker themes. Movies like Blue Valentine (2010), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), and 500 Days of Summer (2009) offered non-traditional narratives, focusing on the intricacies and challenges of real-life relationships.

In the realm of video content, the portrayal of relationships and romantic storylines has undergone a significant transformation over the years. From the early days of cinema to the current era of streaming services, the way romantic relationships are depicted on screen has changed dramatically, reflecting shifting societal values, cultural norms, and audience expectations. In this article, we'll explore the evolution of vidos relationships and romantic storylines, examining the trends, tropes, and impacts on audiences. new sexy vidos

The evolution of vidos relationships and romantic storylines reflects the dynamic, ever-changing nature of human connection and storytelling. From classic Hollywood romances to modern, experimental narratives, the portrayal of love and relationships on screen has come a long way. As video content continues to adapt to shifting audience expectations, technological advancements, and cultural trends, one thing is certain: the world of vidos relationships and romantic storylines will remain a captivating, thought-provoking, and essential part of our shared cultural landscape. The 1990s and 2000s saw a significant shift

The classic Hollywood era, spanning from the 1920s to the 1960s, was marked by a proliferation of romantic films that showcased idealized, fairy-tale-like relationships. Movies like Casablanca (1942), Roman Holiday (1953), and The Notebook (2004) became iconic representations of love and romance, often featuring handsome leads, picturesque settings, and sweeping scores. These films typically conformed to traditional narrative structures, with a focus on the romantic couple's journey, obstacles, and ultimate union. In the realm of video content, the portrayal

Cool, Good Job!

I'll probably maintain my fork still, but I'll probably get some queues from this, thanks!
Btw I'm not really doing anything for QuakeForge, just forking their initial code. I have my own roadmap for this, which might be more Hexen II focused.

Does this generate the bunch of QC code necessary to map frames? :D

Not Really

But thats a good idea. When exporting is done I might add that in eventually.

Exporter Released

Alright, just in time for the Blender 2.82 export is done. Big thanks to @Khreator for giving a great insight into exporting issues.

List of features:
+ Export support
+ Support for importing/exporting multiple skins
+ Better scaling adjustments, eyeposition follows scale factor

This is still considered an alpha release. But it should be good enough.

What Is Ask Myself

#7 posted by wakey on 2020/03/04 00:36:49

for a long time now: Would it be possible to save a blender physics simulation as frame animated .mdl/.md3?

#8 posted by chedap on 2020/03/04 03:28:44

Enable MDD export addon. Export your simulation to MDD. Remove the sim from the object. Import MDD back into your object. You now have all of your sim frames as separate shape keys, ready to export to .mdl

Actually

Disregard that. It works fine without any of that extra voodoo, just export whatever straight to .mdl

Niiiice

Then let's think about practical use cases.
First think that comes to my mind are death animations, sagging bodies.
Explosion debrie might also work out.
I guess anything fluidic is out of question, like a tiling wave simulation anim.

What else comes to mind?

Flags, fire, chains, breaking doors, breaking walls, etc.
