[Tool] DoomFlow v0.3 -batch Sprite, Voxel, and Decorate tool

DoomFlow v0.3



This used to be called 'poly2voxelbatch' but now it is just 'DoomFlow'. Why? It didn't make sense for me to rewrite or duplicate sections of my code in order to have a number of standalone utilities which perform the batch functions I need. So, I combined them in a single easy to use interface. The name comes from the idea of a 'WorkFlow' plus 'Doom'; tools to increase the efficiency of one's Doom WorkFlow.

Create Voxel Animation Tutorial (taken from my original post)

---

I've written a tool that generates a .ms (maxscript), DECORATE, and Batch file that can be used to convert even very long animation sequences from 3ds max into a kvx series. I should be able to write extensions to it for other 3d modeling software but, in that case, I would need access to a thoroughly commented example of a script that does what the .ms script generated by this utility does (namely, create a series of .3ds files each containing one frame of animation and named sequentially).

You will need poly2vox and kvxoffset in order to use this utility. They must be in the same folder as this utility at runtime.

kvxoffset can be found here: http://www.teamhellspawn.com/kvxoffset.zip (thanks to phi108 for directing me to this utility).
poly2vox can be found here: http://www.advsys.net/ken/download.htm

Here is a video of me converting the stand animation of a Quad Cruiser from SC2 into an animated voxel.



Here is a video of the voxel after fixing the size (find+replace in notepad to modify all scale factors at the same time)

ECHO This folder can now be loaded as a resource in any voxel support version of zDoom. This little utility was created by ExWizard.
PAUSE

Note that, because the batch files use kvxoffset (which sets the offset to the lowest voxel) models with geometry lower than their base or who are above z origin during their animation (such as bipeds, quadrupeds, hover creatures, etc.,) will export poorly. I am working on a workaround for this (namely automated geometry clipping of the original model and dummy voxels to manage offset).

This is a work in progress, feature suggestions are welcome.

[phi108]

Interesting, good work!

I don't have 3ds max, but I have used Poly2vox to convert a bunch of frames from a .md2 file, could it be possible for this tool to generate a batch file using the name of the .md2 and the frame number switch?

like these commands that generate voxels for frame 0, 1, and 2 of tris.md2, naming the results GUNAA.kvx, GUNAB.kvx, GUNAC.kvx:

@echo off

CALL poly2vox.exe tris.md2 GUNAA.kvx /s0.0720 /f0
CALL kvxoffset.exe GUNAA.kvx
MOVE GUNAA.kvx C:\GUN\VOXELS\GUNAA.kvx

CALL poly2vox.exe tris.md2 GUNAB.kvx /s0.0720 /f1
CALL kvxoffset.exe GUNAB.kvx
MOVE GUNAB.kvx C:\GUN\VOXELS\GUNAB.kvx

CALL poly2vox.exe tris.md2 GUNAC.kvx /s0.0720 /f2
CALL kvxoffset.exe GUNAC.kvx
MOVE GUNAC.kvx C:\GUN\VOXELS\GUNAC.kvx


etc...

[exwizard]

Yup. That should be exceedingly simple to implement.

I'll implement it in the next revision; probably in about a days time.

[Nash]

Very, VERY useful tools! As a 3ds Max user, I find modeling in Max and then exporting to voxels much more intuitive and less complicated than messing around with Slab6 or Paint 3D or whatever.

I'll give this a spin soon!

[Apothem]

Awesome. Now time to learn how to do this with more stuff. Are there voxel hud weapons yet?

[Amuscaria]

Very cool.

[Captain Awesome]

I think this could be useful for the eDuke32 community. I don't know exactly how this program works, and I don't really have the resources to tinker with it, but do you think it's readily available for use in this way, or would it need some work? Either way, let me know, because I could include something like this in a tool pack I am curating, if you will.

[exwizard]

Yup, it would be useful in any engine that can read/use voxels. It currently only outputs to build format voxels (kvx; which I think eDuke32 uses) but other poly2vox formats will be an option in a future release.

I've delayed releasing a new version (with the features phi108 suggested) as a lot of the code in this can be used for other functions that I am building into it (namely a sprite generator [which would be useful for eDuke32 folks although I will have to investigate what the file naming conventions are] and a DECORATE template generator [which would not be useful for eDuke32, of course]; I'd also like to add Blender support since it is free, but that will be probably be at a later date). Realistically, I can probably release the improved tool (sans Blender and eDuke32 naming schema) this Friday. Work has been getting in the way of further work on this but I have a LAN/coding thingy for the mod some people I know in person are working on this weekend (which gives me a hard deadline for getting this stuff put together). When it is done, feel free to include it with whatever bundle of tools you'd like to put together.

Also, I will include some documentation, tutorials, and a sample model when I'm comfortable with the utility's stability and, uh, error-freeness.

[NeuralStunner]

I bet it would be worthwhile to support Blender as well.

[Captain Awesome]

Sounds good. If you could, shoot me off an email when you have an EDuke32 version ready, or need some help, I might not be able to help, but I can put you in contact with someone who can, surely.
