what do you need sprites of?

Martin, if you need a copy of Duke 3D, send a PM to Yatta for a GOG code.

I adapted the voxel pack for the Total Meltdown TC.

Okay, I created a voxel of 4464 -- three cans of mace -- and a few preview screens in SLAB6 and in-game on the map by DavoX called "Buenos Aires Explosive Remake."

SLAB6 Screens:

And the voxel itself:

And here's a pair of voxel models of those sliding switch red/green doodads. Unfortunately, they both dip into the wall in-game, either because I screwed up or they need a map hack to adjust their position.

Here's what they look like in SLAB6:

And here is the pair of them if anyone is interested in finding out if I screwed up:

Any chance that someone will make a voxel version of the rocket? I tried using poly2vox for this a while back, and results were mixed. I was able to adjust the skin before converting and used the command to make it convert at the same resolution as the sprite, so for the most part it looked fine. But there is a big flame on the model which was too large for the voxel to look good -- it would probably be fine if the model were edited.

If they sink into the wall, that's because you didn't set up the pivots.

Cheers. I'm a fool but I'm one that corrects his errors.

I'm currently working on sci-fi flip switch 1122-1123, but would that be the RPG/Devastator rockets? It looks "easy" enough to voxel. The proportions, length, and depth of the thing are all there in the sprites, so it is just a matter of painting by number for much of it. If I do get round to it, I'll give it a go. Might cannibalize the candle voxels (by Martin?) to add a little animation to the flame.

[Micky C]

Looking good!

Note: Handle scale issues are in the standard sprites. I didn't fancy deviating too far from the source sprites.

You can't use any extra tiles that the original rocket doesn't use, though.

[Jblade]

Voxels can't be pitched though, so I don't think a voxel rocket would work very well unfortunately.

I know, but sprites can't be pitched either, so why would it be worse than the current sprite? The reason I want a voxel is to make it slightly more visible without increasing the sprite size -- also, it will show the angle of the rocket accurately.

Sprites do pitch with your view, at least in software, and in OpenGL, the sprites are thin enough to not look hideous when shooting up and down. There was a point in history where the HRP rocket didn't pitch with aim, and it looked beyond horrible. Something like this would work better with projectiles that are uniform, like the freeze ray shot.

Thanks. I noticed that. I considered doing a flicker between the small deep orange and a larger bright orange. The flame would look very dull and flat otherwise. A bit like the old polygonal flames from Quake, except no animation at all. It's a shame I can't mix the sprite of the flame with the voxel of the rocket, or at least not without CON scripting which would be a bit beyond the scope of this voxel pack. So I'll put the rocket on the to-do list, but for the time being, I'd rather focus on things the player will always be able to get a good look at. Like sprite 4954, the damaged variant of the sprite 0860 power switch.

Zandronum has a nice feature called "sprite billboard" with its OpenGL renderer. It will pitch the sprite just like it would in software, on both the X-axis and/or Y-axis.

[Micky C]

Polymer has that option as well, however the renderer will probably remain unfinished.

[NightFright]

Is anybody able and willing to finish the pickups? Having these completed would be great and justify a new release of the whole pack.

Missing:
- Shrinker (#25)
- Scuba gear (#56)
- Jetpack (#57)
- Atomic Health (#100-115)

[Mark]

I forgot all about pitching in Polymer. Where is it documented? I didn't see anything in the wiki.

edit, I found it under model rotation. I got confused because earlier post mentioned sprite, not model rotation.

I'd like to at least give it a try, but slab6 is not working properly on win10 (pointer is kept outside the window).

I don't have much free time these days but I'll whip one up when I do, shouldn't take too long.

Dear friends do you happen to have the fire extinguisher sprite of Duke Nukem?

I am planning to voxelized and to add a version for Shadow Warrior as well. Thanks in advance

[mxrtxn]

Nevermind, just found it.

@mxrtxn
Nice lamp!

Regarding fire extinguisher, I already did
Bottom is fully drawn, pivots are properly adjusted. I checked it with vanilla DN3D maps, looks/works properly.

I will post rest of my humble voxel stuff soon(ish).

EDIT:
Added some more stuff. I noticed, that GIF previews of my models are a bit desaturated. No worries, KVX files are fine - 100% based on original sprites with proper palette.

This thread is so damn' hot!!!

OK, that scuba gear you came up with - that's some BEAUTIFUL sh*t right there! The rest is also great, ofc.

Now if you (or anybody else) manages to get the other three pickups (shrinker, jetpack, atomic health) done, I'd actually prepare a new release for everybody.

I will do Jetpacktoday/tomorrow. Shrinker - I don't have experience with weapons. I will try to do this one, if others are not interested.
Atomic health - IMHO this is hardest of all pickups in terms of animation. Ten frames, multiple axis rotation...well, sounds like a challenge

Voxel love will eventually spread everywhere. To all DLC's, all MODs...voxels will even make it to flat realms of automap & sound setup. This is the way of true Voxel Love.

On more serious note, those health restoring bananas in LIAB look like a nice thing to do some day. If I will do some voxels for LIAB, I will definitely try to make some pickups

Cheers
