Quake Texturing

Texel Density

• *Facts:

  • 1qu (quake unit) is exactly equal to 1px.

  • 1qu is represented by Grid 1 in TrenchBroom.

  • 64qu is exactly equal to the character’s height:

    • Assuming the player is 1.7m tall:

      • "64qu ~= 1.7m -> ~0.376px per centimeter -> ~37px per meter.

    • Assuming the player is 2.0m tall (as in Minecraft):

      • 64qu = 2.0m -> 0.32px per centimeter -> 32px per meter.

• *In summary:

  • Quake has twice the Texel Density of Minecraft.

    • Minecraft 16px per meter.

    • Quake 32px per meter.
