Was watching some quake live frag movies...

...and I can't believe how awesome the game's graphics look in some of them. my pc is beast, i have everything set on max, and it still doesn't look as good as the video's i'm watching. i'm assuming it's saturation settings or something. i think art style is incredibly important to a game's lasting appeal, and if i can just get the graphics up to par, i can squeeze a whole lot more life out of the game. fyi i'm NOT complaining. definitely gameplay over graphics any day, just would be nice. i'm trying to find an example vid atm.

Most 'better looking' are rendered using an engine caled Q3MME which adds a bunch of postprocess junk to it. Why no one backported that stuff to anything else is mindboggling

Yeah people who make good frag movies will do loads of FX which aren't possible in the game, from completely customising the effects of the weaponry to better lighting, even retexturing the levels in some cases

Those are video effects, dummy.

Also motion blur.

Is wolfcam still used? That wa the thing I saw lots on the Quake Live forums back when the forums worked.
