Duke 3D Voxel Pack

#1111 Posted 27 June 2019 - 06:08 AM

So fill me in is this an alternative to the HRP pack?

#1112 Posted 27 June 2019 - 08:16 AM

It's a different approach and not meant to compete with the HRP directly. Voxels are less detailed than models, so it's rather aiming for folks that would like to keep the classic look. Also, this doesn't come with any highres textures, it's about sprite replacements only.

IMO this is what a true HRP should be. Fox's skyboxes + Phredekee's upscaled sprites + Borion's voxels + SC55 pack are the perfect high res Duke experience. The actual HRP is an outdated hodj podj.

I'm glad you like my upscales but they serve a different niche than the HRP, they're not directly comparable.

I'm not saying they are. Definitely not. What I'm saying is that your upscales improve the visuals of the original game while staying true to the classic look. They are technically "higher resolution". Maybe one day somebody could put all this stuff together in a "Classic HRP" of some sort, though maybe there would be a better name for it, like "Classic Visual Treatment" (CVT) or something.

Will the babes get this treatment as well and do voxels have multiple sides?

On that note will there be a comparible addition to the dukenudes pack for the girls?

Voxels by definition have multiple sides.

I don't think babes would work as voxels though. Not with the current faithfulness to the original sprites.

Suggestion for another voxel: The gunpowder barrel (4360) that's in Babe Land. This tile is used frequently in StrikerDM, and would help make them fit perfectly with the other explosives.

Others:

680 - Folding Chair.
556/557 - Desk Chair. (This one is in desperate need of voxelization, considering it only has front/back angles)
694/695 - Pot and Saucepan.

See Reaperman's post about voxelized enemies. That said, I think the sentry drones and slimers would work well as the former is mechanical in nature while the latter is a pile of goo. Anything humanoid will be tough though - the best candidate IMO would be the geishas in Raw Meat as they're meant to be artificial.

Just add my 2 cents, as You write geishas and sentry drones are a good material for voxelization. I already started working on them some time ago and hope to finish after I'm done with all barrels and most popular decorative elements.

Quick suggestion: the hoop rivets should be more pronounced on the voxel, they feel kind of flat when compared to the sprite, just a little bit should be enough!

+1 to Jmoc's suggestion. I think you could make the row of pix...er, voxels underneath each metal ring slightly darker, to simulate some depth and buckling. Or maybe they already are, and it's hard to notice from the viewing angle.

I'm afraid 'a little bit' is not possible - there is no "half voxel", and rivets sticking out were too much IMHO. But I will see definitely look into it & see what can be done.
But I would rather not make them too big. Rivets shouldn't stop barrel from rolling - that is super important for this type of container.

I will make the shadow underneath metal rings more pronounced.
Left original, right voxel model:

By the way, original sprite is quite irregular. It is not symmetrical and has a lot of noise. Thats why those above have slightly different shape.
Also the metal ring on original can't as thick on voxel model, it was looking ridiculously unrealistic when observed from angle or from top.

Your voxel looks good enough. I don't think it needs any modification.

I think it's fairly accurate as well, the original art isn't so great itself as previously mentioned.

Yeah, its already got a bunghole and a plug. What more could you ask for.

I think its fine as-is.

Yes, it has vibe of sci-fi medical device. I think they made it this way, because standard vacuum cleaner would only fit city levels.

Here comes Shrinker and - in case someone wants to use it in some mod - Expander.

My interpretation of Expander ammo, looking more like a 'shrinker-to-expander conversion kit'. I think that was idea behind original graphic, but someone in 3D Realms responsible for cleaning sprite screwed structure of objects (my theory
