Tenebrae is an outdated port, which hasn't been updated for a few years, but it still provides some of the best visuals available for Quake, including dynamic shadows, bump-mapping, particle systems effects, wall decals, realistic blood, underwater caustics, water reflections, bloom, high-resolution textures support and improved skies.
The main problem of this port are the real high hardware requirements due to a poor optimization.
Project Links:
http://tenebrae.sourceforge.net
Installation instructions:
- Ensure to apply the VIS patch to your version of Quake to make the water transparent.
- Download and run the 'TenebraeInstall.exe'. Set the installation path to the folder with original game files ('E:\games\quake' in my case).
- Open the folder with installed files and run 'Tenebrae_launch.exe'.
- Set the appropriate 'Resolution' in 'System' tab.
- Open 'Graphics' tab. Set 'Mirrors' to 'Full', turn on 'Force all water reflective (slow)' and 'Glares (slow)', check 'Player Shadows', 'Entity Shadows' and 'World Shadows'.
- Open 'Textures' tab. Turn on 'Trilinear Filtering', 'Underwater caustics' and 'Water Shader'. Set 'Anistropy' to a maximum value ('8').
- Click 'Launch' to launch the game.
- Open 'Options' from game menu. Adjust 'Brightness', turn on 'Always run' and ensure that 'Glares' are 'on'.

You'd set up a forum or wiki, so people could add their info on where to get and how to set up models, newer and better textures etc.

I don't really believe that wiki would be as comfortable as a custom website. And I don't really believe that somebody will write into it, because everybody can send installation instructions, screenshots and files now, but nobody really does.
Anyway, a forum seems to be a great idea, but I don't have a time to moderate it by myself and I don't really know anybody who does want to deal with it. The idea is worth a try though, I'll think about it in a nearest future.

the project site is slow and empty, no downloads. where can I get this? AFAIR there was something like "tenebrae 2" (http://tenebrae2.com/) but this seems to be dead too.

sorry, didn't saw the download link on the right. X-D anyway, does someone know something about tenebrae 2.0? it seems that it has never gone public.

If I'm right, seems like this was an attempt to build the independent graphical engine, without further plans on using with any particular FPS.
