Thanks. I made it in Blender, with a Python script for loading the Quake level and setting up the Blender scene

Shameless self promotion, but if you're interested in how collision detection was done in 3D (in Quake) I made a video on the topic here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLHXn8IlAiA The technique can detect the interse

Hello, video creator here. This is indeed the actual code, and it is written in QuakeC, a language created specifically for the game logic in Quake. The part I'm not sure about is why the creators wanted to add in extra side beams at

Shameless self-promotion, I made a similar thing in Quake: https://youtu.be/xVLtnKyRSb4 I love this write-up, especially the interactive diagrams at the end. My vid doesn't go into as much detail on the actual circuit

Author here, I intersect the view frustum with the light's sphere of influence (and also take into account PVS info) so it still includes lights that are reachable by one bounce. Technically this means I might omit two bounce reflect

Correct, it wouldn't be hard to take the best known strategy and implement it perfectly. Aside from the two points you mention, it also serves as a precursor to applying RL to real levels in which we may not be so sure about the optim

It's the Quake 1 physics, not QW. I haven't looked at the QW physics in detail, but I think the main difference is that there's a single frame of ground friction applied between every jump, which ends up making a difference

I skipped the variable frame rate out of this write-up in an attempt to keep things simple by leaving the GIF composing to an external program (ImageMagick). In an earlier iteration I did in fact create a version of the GIF with frame durat

The speed is relatively consistent except for the early frames (where pictures were taken at twice the rate of later on) and where frames were dropped due to missing data or alignment failure. Here's a version of the animation where f
