Lots of new free stuff today!

We have released some new Free Quake Textures. There are now almost 400 of them, so only a few of them can be viewed online. The rest can be downloaded as .png images, a Quake .wad, or or QuArK 4.07 .qme file.

We made some ammo models (.bsp models) to go with the GPL Weapon Models.

We also replaced the solid black texture with a sky texture in the Void Deathmatch Levels.

We have added three new maps to the Free Models Project.

• Void Deathmatch Levels by Greg Mapes
• Open Quartz Start Map by The Serpent Lord

A new version of the Blender modeling, animation, and rendering program is available. This new version is free and supports all of Blender's features, including features which used to be available only in the C-Key version.

Zancrus and I have made some GPL Item Models for the Open Quartz GPL pak file. Open Quartz is developing a free pak file - new models, maps, textures, graphics and sounds - to use with the free games made from the Quake source.

We have also added the new biosuit skin as a skin for the GPL Player Models, and resized the skins on those models so they can be used in Quake. (The models still need weapons and animation.)

We reorganized the Free Quake Textures collection and added some "special" textures:

• Lava (by Ulrich "Zancrus" Galbraith)
• Water (also by Ulrich)
• Slime
• Teleport
• Black
• Clip
• Trigger
• "Open Quartz" sign

I created new, thicker versions of the GPL player models for the Open Quartz project, which I think will make better replacements for the Quake player model than the skinny versions.
