Doom Voxel Project

[RaVeN-05]

I am interested in this project, but i even dont know how its work =0
So what you thin about this?
ZDoom support it? or maybe even have plans to add this to ZDoom?

I made a 3D item in the past by spawning small square pixel actors every tic using A_SpawnItemEx. It's a nightmare to setup though!

Looks good! i've got myself SLAB6, i'll try to do the chaingun or the BFG.

No and no, as far as I know.

You know, if there was some way to bind objects to move in tandem with a parent object (minus tons of DECORATE/ACS), then just make tiny square sprites flagged with NOINTERACTION....

Voxels are the epitome of 8-bit beauty.

That plasma gun looks ace. As far as 3d models go, this is probably as accurate to the originals as we're going to get.

I agree. You even sorta get the vanilla blockiness, if you're that obsessive about it.

I've wanted to try something like that for blood splats on the floor, and other static decorations or stuff.

Hmmm... I dunno. Anything with a curved surface looks pretty bad to me - eg the red skull or the soul sphere. Too much like they are made with lego.

Use filters, dude*.

Use as directed. Void where prohibited. Don't try this at home.

Voxels don't have filtering, do they?

[NeuralStunner]

Everything has filtering in the hardware renderer.

[RaVeN-05]

I think this is possible to organize even OpenGL filtering
they have interpolation reat in wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voxel

[Caligari87]

Here's a question: How should voxels be rendered? As individual little 3D cubes (in which case tiny 3D models may be used anyway) or as points of interpolation to display a sprite-like image on the screen? The first way, a cacodemon would look like Legos, as Enjay said, which IMO is not an optimal solution. However, if the voxel model was simply used as a reference for the raytracer to draw a pixel on the screen, it would look like the regular sprite, just with infinite rotations, and could be filtered.

Would this be simpler to implement in the (G)ZDoom engine?
