You should be able to see the rest of the barrels from the front view. That's how it is from first person view and also in Heavy Weapons Dude sprites.

That has already been changed.

Fantastic updates to everyone involved. Those pipes look great.

What's next, voxel textures?

If this is a joke, lol. If not, ಠ_ಠ

[The Commander]

HRP has bumpmap textures, so why not have voxbump textures.

[Hendricks266]

The details on a texture are too fine to be adequately represented by one-cube thick hills and valleys. If you look closely at the classic renderer, it actually renders little squares for each cube of the voxel, and that may look weird on a texture. Polymost would render them as proper cubes though.

[ReaperMan]

Well, what do you guys think about the Shrink Ray crystal? Keep in mind that it glows so some of the colors get messed up.

[Micky C]

Is it possible to make it transparent? It would deviate from the original, but it would look a lot more like a 'proper' crystal.

You can't do transparency with voxels, so no.

Next stop, the Framerate Trenches!

[High Treason]

Framerate Trenches? I thought those were already possible, I've made loads of those - hey, I was ahead of my time, just like all the great people, I didn't even know.

Those crystals look OK to me, I can tell that they aren't part of the scenery, but they don't stand out to the point that they are unfitting.

[Hendricks266]

The crystals are probably the hardest thing for you to pull off, so good job relatively speaking.

[Mateos]

No transparency, but is it possible to add glowing to voxels?

[Tea Monster]

Is it possible to make voxels with higher resolutions than this? I don't mean for 'modern' engines that use them, but for the ones that are going into EDuke.

The crystal does glow. I said that in the post about the crystal.

Yeah, you can make voxels in a much high resolutions than this. Eduke32 runs the higher resolution voxels just fine.

[Jimmy]

The pipebombs are sexy! The crystal could maybe use some improvement, but I can't really offer any criticism. That's a toughie, but I will say that it's good enough as is, and convincing. From the 'front' angle it should look just fine.

[NightFright]

Once you have a pack to download, be sure to PM me so I can upload it to HRP mirror and place it on the HRP site. This is stuff people will be interested in. In Doom, I am actually preferring the voxel pack over the models (they look total crap, not like the original sprites at all - the ones for Duke3D are worlds better than those!).

Will do.

Hey, does anyone know how the devastator is connected in the middle?

This is what the action figure's version looked like:

Some of the other guys tried that out with the Doom voxel pack.

Hate to say it, but that looks very unattractive when legacy graphics are thrown into the mix.

[Jimmy]

I think it looks pretty cool. Not sure how practical it would be, or if it'd always look great, but it's a neat idea.

I heard it lags quite a bit, but then again i never got to try it out so i wouldn't know for sure.

[NightFright]

I think in that case, it would make more sense to create normalmaps for the original (legacy) textures rather than trying to voxelize surfaces. It's OK to create voxels for some wall-aligned sprites, mostly switches, but I think you don't need it everywhere (and I doubt ports can handle it). Over at Doom, they are currently trying to make voxel monsters. That will be interesting to see (also since it's at least as much work as to create highres sprites)...

[ReaperMan]

I remember some complaints about how the switches didn't stick out enough so i made the new ones more noticeable. I made them 3 voxels thick at the base just like the ones in SW.

[Inspector Lagomorf]

Nice. I've always liked the voxel design of the Shadow Warrior switches. It'd be cool to have that replicated in Duke Nukem 3D.

[ReaperMan]

Devastator is done, so expect a new download for the voxel pack as soon as NightFright is done updating the maphacks.

[rasmus thorup]

I am having orgasms right now.

[Fox]

Quite impressive. The sprites never gives us an idea of how huge the Devastator is.

[Jimmy]

That is so arousing.
