Now that the competition is closed I’d thought a roundup of some of the entries is in place. Below are actually just the demos and products from the Quest3D forum, however (and believe me) there are more entries with equal visual quality on the Quest3d ftp server.

If you also want to showcase your work here, just post it on the Quest3D forum (I’ll pick it up from there) or let me know through the comments. And in case I missed one on the forum please leave a comment with the details.

Casa de Alvarado-Bracamonte by Isaac Marco Rodriguez

Audiosurf is doing really well, you could say it’s steaming, you may must have spotted it on sites like IGF, youtube, Gamasutra, and Gamespot! And as from the 15th of February available from the steam network, for just $9.95!

A review from Voodoo Extreme concluding with a 4.5 out of 5 rating!

The Conclusion

The Good:

+ Addictive, score-based gameplay
+ Excellent visuals and beat-matching
+ Worldwide leaderboards with friend integration
+ Achievements
+ Cheat reporting system

The Bad:

- Menu music that cannot be muted
- Windowed mode fussy about resolutions (manually drag to circumvent issue)
- Website services currently offline
- Dull gameplay on slow songs
- No Mono-only scoreboards
- Your eyes will melt on Elite difficulty

Another fine production from the hands of Dylan Fitterer, the Custom Geometry Channel, a welcome addition to Quest3D. Now you can create any mesh in realtime! This channel works with Quest 3.6.3

“You can use it to make anything. And THAT, of course, means it’s a little complicated to use”, Dylan Fitterer

In case you’ve missed the big news, Quest3D 3.6 is out now. Including the SDK and the latest exporter for 3DMax.

See the forum announcement here or download 3.6 here.

Congrats Act! We’re pretty confident that this will be the most solid version yet!

Another update to the CGR exporter.
Get the new version right here!

Bit from the forum:

In new version:
- Better mesh optimization
- Support check box in maps slots

Thanks Artur, keep it up.

For those of us already using Quest3D 3.5.5 there is a new version of the 3d max exporter. This version only works for Quest3D version 3.5.5!

Get the new version right here!

And For the registry hackers amongst us, quoting Tom Beddell:

I have multiple versions of Quest installed. You have to install the version you want to export to last, so that the registry points to the right version I suppose.

First off, some videos of various Quest3D project we found on YouTube. No need to download the big DVD from the Quest3D website… but, unfortunately, these aren’t as detailed. These were uploaded by our East-European colleges at http://quest3d.pl/ .

Quest3D|log goes multimedia (remember that ninties buzz-word?), and we start off with an embarrassing video of a water taxi magically making a huge container ship crash.

Enjoy, and listen to the cute giggles near the end.

The competition for the 2007 version looks like it’s catching up.

This poll is usually in the sidebar… so glance a bit to the right and down to see it.

If you know any other subjects to poll Quest3D users about like “Which channel do you like best?”, “Prettiest Quest3D project ever seen” or “Which channel would like best if it worked properly?”, let us know.

This new release now comes with a developer’s Manual, Super Sets, over a hundred templates, several Skydome types and improved support for reflections.

Of interest is also the rumour that there might be some kind of channelgroup protection system in the next release of Quest3D. This protection system allows channelgroup hiding which enables Quest3D users to create and sell modules like Qumulus.
