He has been offering up so many voxels in a short amount of time. I'm suspicious. I'll bet he has a couple of kids locked to computers in the basement making all these. They have I.V. drips of Red Bull to keep them awake.

Maybe i am wrong and a bit late but , i had the feeling that these barrels should looks a little bit darker and metallic, expecially the Toxic barrel, its color here remember me kinda Doom 1-2 style.Let's say that the new Zaxtor's storing room gave me the impulse to say it here just now .
BTW, Thank you to work on these amazing voxels, you are tireless dude!

Thanks man!
I've seen this amazing Zaxtor storage and those barrels are not models that I worked on. But they look fine to me.
About deep shadows on sprites, they are there to add depth to flat graphics. Converting such flat stuff to voxels requires making their shadowing more uniform, lowering lighting contrast. Three dimensional objects don't rotate like sprites, so it is important to not make their shadowing too much defined. Otherwise illusion of lighting will be broken.
So some light was added in darkest parts of barrels, rest is strictly based on sprites. I was very careful with those barrels.

Still, everything can be done better - those barrels probably too. But I think they will suffice for what they are

You guys rock. I'm eager to get the new package and test it in classic 8bit renderer (I think voxels looks better in the original renderer).

Have fun!

This is Shadow Warrior, isn't it? Has jfSW space for new voxels?

[spacekebab]

These are amazing, are there any online backups for the (relatively) older voxels? A lott of the mega links are down

[NightFright]

Here is a zipped package of all voxels released in 2019 until the present day.

Duke3D voxels 2019 (zip, 486 KB)

Note: It's just the voxels themselves, no definitions.

Hi there. I don´t see any reason why It shouldn´t work on JFSW (Though I haven´t tested jfsw yet).

The pack includes instructions to install them on (SW classic 1997 DOS, REDUX steam and SWP). I tested succesfully in those three.

Basically you should extract the pack where the folder of the sw.exe is located.

I use the voxfil file of the game to replace the sprites with the newer voxels.

I you have any more doubts send a PM or ask here.

Cheers

This one was started quite a while ago, but I had no time to finish it. Finally today I had couple hours to paint it and add weeds around its base.

Weird or not, I think close inspections of cactuses are true purpose of god-mode.

[stranger]

Aww, sorry. That's a different stranger. I did make a lot of really crappy maps back in the old days, and we should all be very thankful that they've never seen the light of day.

(I actually tried to dive back into mapping a handful of years ago, having developed a much keener sense of aesthetic consistency. After finishing a few sectors, Build or Mapster, or whatever the thing I used was crashed, and I just said 'screw it.')

Starlite, Daemonus. Search for his maps on CGS, dude. These maps is legendary.

[Radar]

I played online every day for 5 years straight. Most of this forum hasn't played online once in 5 years. Those maps were most likely rarely played, not exactly "legendary" status. But yes they are very pretty, even though I never saw them outside of DT mods.

[Borion]

That preview sucks, but you can see what it is about:

[NightFright]

Voxel fire? Shit just got real.

[Borion]

Fire Barrel (1240-1243)


KVX: https://mega.nz/#!on...Oa10ARGPdsBsD_c

voxel "voxels/props/1240_firebarrel.kvx" { tile 1240 }
voxel "voxels/props/1241_firebarrel.kvx" { tile 1241 }
voxel "voxels/props/1242_firebarrel.kvx" { tile 1242 }
voxel "voxels/props/1243_firebarrel.kvx" { tile 1243 }

There is difference between fps of those preview gifs, but in game they are the same.

Some of you might notice slight difference in darkest tones of fire. In original those tones are brownish to simulate transparency, because there is wood behind fire. But it would make no sense in voxel interpretation, so I used colours closer to ones that can be observed through the holes in the barrel.

Other thing that might be noticed in game, there are two kinds of flicker on the barrel. One is on the upper edge of barrel, added there on purpose. The other one, on the sides of barrel - you can only see that in game - is caused by small errors in colour remaping by SLAB6. There is nothing I can do about it. All colours are 100% fitting DN3D palette before import to SLAB6 - I'm 100% sure of that. There is no way of removing those microflickers without decoding KVX and reordering colour table by hand(!) before importing those to SLAB6...no way I'm gonna try that
Fortunately, this object is made of metal and it has burning fire inside. So all those micro-flickers fit perfectly!

You are doing an incredible work man!

I love how faithfull your interpretations are. You put a lot of legacy awareness while building them!

You may be right but first post of this thread is something of a legend - I would not touch it
On the other hand, this project could use some exposition...

Yeah Mr. Holmes, you catched me! ;D
I did some work on these stuff (mostly very bad attempts). For a time being I paused work on explosions because there is a lot of "Z fighting" between voxel models & sprites that are close to each other. Another problem, I'm not sure if it can look good from very short view distance - voxels are Z-depth clipped if you stand too close to them.

About fire, I'm also afraid of many problems with z-fighting/clipping so IMHO its better to just use volumetric fire for stuff where its just an element of object, like in fire barrel.
