"Hi, I'm CureMode from AOL and DWANGO. This is my new Site on New World Data's Icebox Online, which will hopefully free me from AOL's Evil Grip. Here on my Page you will find links to some of my favorite topics and sites. They include Bands, TV shows, Movies, and Quake info. Check out my new Quake section for info on the game and The Clan of The Caveman. I wish I could store all this stuff locally but my Server space is limited. Check out my Resume, I am a Multimedia Specialist and Consultant. If you know of any opportunities in the New York / Manhattan area please pass them along to me at..."

The G3D Innovation Engine, by Morgan McGuire — 3D Player Models for Quake 2

"The G3D Innovation Engine is a commercial-grade C++ 3D engine available as Open Source. G3D supports hardware accelerated real-time rendering, off-line rendering like ray tracing, and general purpose computation on GPUs. Its design emphasizes rapid prototyping and innovation, particularly of rendering and game algorithms. G3D provides a set of routines and structures so common that they are needed in almost every graphics program. It makes low-level libraries like OpenGL, network sockets, and audio channels easier to use without limiting functionality or performance. G3D is a carefully designed, feature-rich base on which to prototype your 3D application. The contributors span the graphics industry. The engine is primarily maintained by Morgan McGuire, Zander Majercik, and Josef Spjut at NVIDIA, Corey Taylor, and Michael Mara at Stanford University & Oculus Research. It includes contributions from professional game developers, CAD and DCC developers, students, industry researchers, and professors."

PlanetQuake.com: Polycount — Quake II Skins, by Frosty

"Quite a psychadelic hit squad we have going on here. I agree with Frosty, that the Thresh skin and the Terrorx are the best of this pack. I believe that the Thresh one is the best. The ctf_blue is just plain and blobby and the ctf_red is barely indistinguishable from the Terrorx. Personally I kinda like'em, even if they are kind'a strange in a busy strung out way."

The Art of Quake 2, by Paul Steed

As in nearly all aspects of the company, the art department at id Software runs on pure synergy. That is, no real distinct lines of responsibility exist among the three artists because they work together so well as a team. The strength of the three-man art department at id comes from experience, hard work, and talent. Adrian Carmack, Kevin Cloud, and Paul Steed created the art for QUAKE 2 (and the upcoming mission pack), and this article reveals how it all came together.
