In-game ads and stuff

Today I was playing around with quakelive's insides, I always wondered what's the path to the in-game billboard ads. For anyone interested, they're in pak00 and the path is "textures/ad_content", insides there's ad1x1.jpg (256x256), ad2x1.jpg (512x256 - the typical big billboard), ad4x1.jpg (1024x256) ad8x1.jpg (1024x128) and adbrightoverlay.png which is present on space map billboards (special effect thingy, cba to explain). This will be my first movies with custom ads, and that will most probably be it when it comes to custom stuff, I'm not a big fan of these cpma weapon effects and particles, sorry.

cfg, codecs and quality

Today I was messing around with compression and quality. I've finally set up a nice in-game configuration and I'll be uploading a quality preview to youtube soon (download link as well). I'm thinking about making high and low quality versions. The high quality version would be 720p at 50fps, right now I can't render 1080p videos, would need a new monitor. I'm not sure about the low quality version yet, probably also 720p but 30fps.

There's still a lot to do and hopefully I'll find the motivation.

Resumed work.

Yesterday, I worked out a decent movie config on wolfcam. Updated MeGui and noticed that I have to download some presets. I've also noticed that I have some demos that I didn't cut last time. After a while I got bored. :<

Today after work I was too tired to do anything with the demos.

I need some motivation to get into full speed:)

Getting there.

I'm pretty sure everyone who has sent me demos is getting impatient by now. I didn't get to work on the movie yet, BUT! I'm almost done with exams and stuff@uni. Since the 1st of July I'll be working in the weekdays from 7am to 3pm, but don't worry I'll have time for movie making since unlike university, I won't have any 'homework'. So yeah, starting on July the 1st I'll be movie making on full speed. Expect updates, teasers and such.

Oh yeah, btw, I applied to a 2nd course on uni, and guess what, it's about computer animation, movies and montage. :> Perfectly fits my interests. I hope, I'll manage two courses simultaneously, we'll see :)
