03 - The Assignment Apr 2026
In any structured learning journey, the third milestone—The Assignment—is where theory meets reality. While the first two phases focus on observation and foundation, Phase 03 demands application. It is the bridge between understanding a concept and mastering a skill.
Depending on the vibe you're going for, here are two different takes on that title: Option 1: The Corporate/Speculative Fiction Approach Tone: Mysterious, sleek, slightly tense. 03 - The Assignment
Use Option 2 as a syllabus description or module intro. Depending on the vibe you're going for, here
Phase three represents the point of no return. The objectives are clear, the target is acquired, and the moral compass is intentionally left behind. In this chapter of the operation, the silence is louder than the action. You don't ask for permission, and you don't wait for backup. You simply execute. Option 2: The Academic/Reflective Approach Tone: Grounded, focused, instructional. The objectives are clear, the target is acquired,
Use Option 1 as a prologue or chapter introduction.

Cool, Good Job!

I'll probably maintain my fork still, but I'll probably get some queues from this, thanks!
Btw I'm not really doing anything for QuakeForge, just forking their initial code. I have my own roadmap for this, which might be more Hexen II focused.

Does this generate the bunch of QC code necessary to map frames? :D

Not Really

But thats a good idea. When exporting is done I might add that in eventually.

Alright, just in time for the Blender 2.82 export is done. Big thanks to @Khreator for giving a great insight into exporting issues.
List of features:
+ Export support
+ Support for importing/exporting multiple skins
+ Better scaling adjustments, eyeposition follows scale factor
This is still considered an alpha release. But it should be good enough.

What Is Ask Myself

for a long time now: Would it be possible to save a blender physics simulation as frame animated .mdl/.md3?

Enable MDD export addon. Export your simulation to MDD. Remove the sim from the object. Import MDD back into your object. You now have all of your sim frames as separate shape keys, ready to export to .mdl

Actually

Disregard that. It works fine without any of that extra voodoo, just export whatever straight to .mdl

Niiiice

Then let's think about practical use cases.
First think that comes to my mind are death animations, sagging bodies.
Explosion debrie might also work out.
I guess anything fluidic is out of question, like a tiling wave simulation anim.
What else comes to mind?

Flags, fire, chains, breaking doors, breaking walls, etc.
