I entered the world of modding in 2004 when I joined the "Padworld Entertainment" team working on the "World of Padman" mod for Quake 3. Apart from World of Padman having turned into a standalone game since then that's still what I'm working on today. When I joined the team I had no experience with the creation of game content other than fiddling with some level editors here and there, but I did know how to use 3d modeling programs. So the first job I got assigned was the creation of an intro-video for the mod. After I figured out how to get 3d models into Quake 3 I also started modeling and texturing mapobjects for the mappers to put into their maps. I also created three trailers for "World of Padman". One in 2004 together with Raptaker and two more in 2006 and 2007 on my own. At the moment I'm working on several things for "World of Padman" which I will talk about in detail once they are officially announced. ;)

@ Tequila:
Hm, I really don't remember how long it took me to create the head back then, that was over three years ago. You're probably better suited than me at finding a suitable Old West name for the guy. ;)

@Pardner:
The head on the right is the old model yes, it's not the 'Man With No Name' though, it's the good guy version of the Sentenza model.

3ds max. However if you want to start looking into 3D modeling/animation I'd start with blender since it's free.

Well, I guess everything related to editing the game. Other than that I don't know. ;)

Wooh, was following this on your blog. Are you going to post everything you post there on moddb too or only parts of it?

Well, the model and textures are taken out of the game.
The video was not rendered inside the game-engine though. ;)

Yes it can, they may not act all that clever in BigBalloon (Domination) gametype, but deathmatch, last pad standing and Spray your color should work fine.
It's not like the q3 "singleplayer" but you can start a map and add bots to it. :)

@ Krenzo:
Well there are still more games featuring normal sized players in normal sized enviroments. ;) The Padmaps go back till the year 2000, they got a complete makeover for the mod though, and are getting another one for the standalone. It's not that there were tons of maps around with that scale, when Ente started doing those maps. And although there are some now, you dont get many mods with only that I think, and we are going standalone with it soon.

The Mod isnt only deathmatch, actually the main gamemode is "spray your color", where you drop a cartridge for a spraypistol when fragged, you can collect these cartridges and have to enter a teleporter to spray a logo there, only then you score. (That's in the trailer) If you spray 5 or 8 logos on one go you get extra points. Also you see how many cartridges an enemy is holding atm, and when you fragg him you can collect all of those, so you can imagine how crazy that can get at the teleporter. In Teammode you can also drop cartridges to give them to other players so you save one teleporter run or get extra points for sprayign many logos. There is also Big Balloon ( like Domination in UT) and Last Pad (Man) Standing in the game

Also you dont really use the standard weapons in the mod, some just look different but others like the boaster and killerducks, are pretty unique.
So it's not really only Standard deathmatch with tiny players no. ;)

thx INtense! :)

The trailer is also up in our download section in higher quality.
Btw. the streaming trailer says "Quake 3 Arena & Standalone - Released" which is not entirely true, the Q3A version is released, we are still working on the Standalone.
