Then again, I am not sure whether this specific voxel should actually be in the pack.

It does appear to have crossed the line into enemy territory, like Dan stated about vehicules it could be considered an exception, but then the recon patrol would sort of "have" to go with it. I'd bet Borion has already started it though

[NightFright]

Thing is, it also has parts of a voxelized Pigcop inside. Then a sprite version is coming out, and the inconsistency starts.

Don't get me wrong, it's great work, but you gotta draw the line somewhere. If this is included, there needs to be a way to turn it off. And actually it shouldn't be turned on by default.

[Jimmy]

You can never have too many voxels. Even if they don't end up in the main pack, someone will use them. And how much space does a voxel take at most anyway? 1MB? You can include them in a "goodies" folder, even if they're not activated by default.

[Stripper]

Could just have the voxel tank but with a flat "window" of the pigcop inside the tank (just flat voxel face on the inside). Wouldn't be 100% accurate to the tank sprites but it might help with the disconnect of voxel to sprite?

This is more than a pure replacement of sprites by voxels, this is art. So f*cking beautiful..

If my time schedule ever improves I will learn to use the programs you recommended to me Borion.

Keep on voxelizing

[Striker]

I have a challenging voxel if you want to try it Borion: The Palm Tree tops. There's already a voxel for the trunk, but none for the other half.

(BTW, I think you forgot to upload your updated BOTTLE7 sprite)

I struggle with this one for a long time. I have no idea how to convert it to voxels and keep its irregular character.

I will fix & post BOTTLE7 when I will get home 1-2 days. I'm away ATM.

Nice work as usual. But I think they're too massive. Both that and the additional bars might look off at times, like when wall mounted. To me, the MD3 model seems closer to what's intended by the sprite.
Btw., tile0950 brokefirehydrent would be nice to have.

Thanks Leo, I will try to improve it based on your feedback.
About wall mounting, the pivot placement and whole back part were adjusted to account for eventual problems in such cases.
Of course I will correct all f***-ups if you guys find them in game

Not really, because my memory didn't serve me well and I mixed up with a different wall mounted street light.

Something different:
There seems to be an issue with hidden voxel switches and Polymost. (Paul Bolduc's RCPD, right at the start)

[Jimmy]

I think the voxel looks great, but yeah maybe there should be an alternate one for flats.

As for the "hidden switch", yeah it's just a rendering error. It wasn't designed with the specific hurdles of voxels in mind. I'd think after Ion Fury is released some of these rendering errors may be alleviated in EDuke32.

This can be fixed by rotating the switch the opposite way. Voxels stop rendering from behind if they are one-sided. Maphack could potentially solve this as well.

To be honest, I think it looks fine. More realistic to what those kinds of lamps look.

Ok, thanks!
I already made some improvements to double spotlight. Will post it when I'm done.
Below rest of billboards. If I omitted any, please let me know.

But there is a problem with clipping, so I will probably have to change pivot placement or remove part of model. Damn.

[Jimmy]

I think it looks fine like that honestly.

[Borion]

Its not very good screenshot, doesn't show what is bad in obvious way, BlitZ. Anyway, glad you like the model.

I think I will just cut part of that cylinder that holds lamp, this small part that clips into the wall. I don't expect voxel clipping will be fixed anytime soon (maybe its even unfixable?), so it's better to just cut the model. It wont look as good while placed on a street pole, but won't be terrible.

Voxel sentry drone is almost done. I'm wondering if it will work. This enemy tend to stick to doors and elevators as close as possible and this may cause many issues. I guess we will find out soon

EDIT: I just noticed some serious mistake in my drone.

I'm not sure if it will look fine, on side view barrels are quite long. Model might look off at times.
But ok, I will try to make this one

[Striker]

Pivots looks fine to me, keep them as they are.

[MusicallyInspired]

You know, since there are no transparent sprites in Build 2, this pack would do wonders in converting Duke3D maps into Build 2 maps. Doing Hollywood Holocaust would be neat....once the game logic is all re-programmed in Evaldraw from scratch of course, which is certainly job and a half.

[Mark]

Do voxels take on a clipshape for blocking or do they replicate the original 2d sprite blocking?

If clipshapes, I wonder if previous maps might have blocking issues using voxels.

[Danukem]

Nothing is going to have a clipshape unless you give it one.

[Striker]

Voxels have no effect on collision detection. Everything goes by the original sprite's rules, the voxel is only visual.

[Mark]

OK. thanks for the info.

if we get all sprites done it will be the equivalent on man going to mars
