Love this. There are high-res textures for Quake which would have made this look even better. The Quake Revitalization Project[0] has created new textures "without changing the mood, theme, or atmosphere", and I believe they're packaged by default with projects like nQuake.

I never like projects like this. They always claim that they don't change the mood, theme, or atmosphere but maybe my definition of that is different. They definitely feel like they change the mood and atmosphere to me.

If lighting and texture swaps are tasteful to a large crowd, I wonder if model swaps would be. Model swaps are more effort, but they were popular in the case of the modded FF7 community. I'd be interested in seeing a fully overhauled version of Quake.
