RDVOX - Voxel/graphics pack oriented to use in Software renderers (Q/L/G/ZDoom, Delphidoom)

[Sylandro]

Amazing work. It'd be great if you ever consider a similar pack for Doom 64!

What engine does it use?

GZDoom (sort of).

 

There's Doom 64 Retribution, which is just a total conversion made for GZDoom, but it's pretty faithful and my personal choice to play D64 because of all the quality of life changes it introduces.

 

 

And then there's GEC, which is a modified version of GZDoom that allows running the original Doom 64:

well, theoretically i could do that. Neverless practicaly i dont "feel" doom64 style as good as classical, and i have a very small time for that now, so i want to advice you to give this idea to Reical

Hi! I am still alive, and I have something fresh in development

 

[GRAU]

i still have no result for improvement of lostsoul flame in attack state. But now i think about improvement of bfg attack graphics/ anoher thing that is still in progress is a cace with candles, made of skulls) but i got some progress and plan to finish it today. I would like everione to type - which of decorations does he want to see in voxel for the next time.

Its funny that you mention Teamhellspawn - They used to have a ZDoom based SVN branch with voxel support. The current link only has voxel models, because ZDoom 2.6.0 added official voxel support in.

• Do you test your voxel work with ZDoom 2.6.0?

However, for a different question on the ZDoom forums i did some digging and found these ZDoom based builds. This ZDoom_Vox is not unlike the current one, its a 2.5.0 based build with an (r0) flag attached to it. Here is the link to that post, perhaps you and @jval may find this useful when testing out voxels pre-ZDoom 2.6.0.

OFC. I run my pack on zdoom any time i need to make sure it still works and looks nice even without dynlights. I started to add dynlights only after i had excluded most of teamhellspawn voxels from my pack (looks like it was RDVOX 0.21)

and that moment i named it RDVOX

Great! There was a user on ZDoom Forums that may wanted to help out, but i assume this is not needed given your work?

 

I hope the ZDoom-Vox (VoxZDoom?) build is of some use to you!

Burning barrel, if it hasn't been done already. Have only looked at the screenshots-- look great so far!

 does it has some difference from classic ZDoom 2.8.1?

Good. I will add it in 0.4. I wanted to make it a long time before, but each time something stopps me (despite the fact that I already have an explosive barrel and I could just repaint it!)

It likely does, because its a pre-release build of code that went official in 2.6.0, and its based on ZDoom 2.5.0.

 

It may serve as a interesting test case: To see if  your code also works on that unofficial build. It likely won't though because its experimental stuff, but if it does, you could then list support for it for those users that still have that build around. *

 

*Although we should assume most users atleast have the latest ZDoom, there will always be cases that just rely on one build and never bother checking forward - Despite 2.6.0 being 8 years old.

 

Its a fringe case, obviously, but like i said, it might be interesting to experiment with it - VoxZDoom did exist for a very long time before things got official, so no doubt that users used it back then for their own mods/works/whatever.

 

If it was an experimental build that only existed for a few weeks or so before being official, i would not have linked to this.

Hi all. I am still at work over this skull-cake... Well i have some proplems with imagining it's backside, but i dont want to make it mirrored, so it may take a bit ore time. I decided to start in parallel the burning barrel on the next week. Now skulls look so:

 

 

[elend]

Good to see this still being worked on! Looks good.

[GRAU]

Well i have tried it on the map... Looks like i have to make the shadow on the skulls more contrast somewhere. To make more dark spots between or under some of skulls

 

 

And i have also improved (at my opinion) the saturated green color - now this gradient looks a bit more saturated. Look yourselve - what i got:

Hi all! I'm here with some fine news! Today i had some free time and i decided to pause with skullcake and looked over other sprites to voxelize. I liked this baby:

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

I know - this does not look 100% like sprite, but i tried not to copy 1 to 1 but to understand 1) the angle the saw on the sprite is positioned to the player 2) how really could it look from another side.

[elend]

That looks mighty fine!

[GRAU]

Here are some more images, i have improved this model, addad some details.

Spoiler

 

 

Also i plan new blood effects for version 0.4, bfg effect, and may be make some tests with gibs whe killing lets say imp.

Hi all! I have improver blood effect. Another one thing id BFG shot, now it has reworked explosion animation, i even recorded video to show it and some other minor improvements:

 

 

[GRAU]

I got some progress over candle-scull kind of cake) It as enough heavy to imagine some of its parts as 3D, and i still have some thing to do with ot but the finish is near

 

 

[elend]

Heck yeah, this is looking good. Can't wait to see this finished!

[GRAU]

I'd like to have more time for it(( The job takes too much time.. Sometimes i imagine - if it was 1997 now and i could work in 3D Realms for example))) I would be happy to have voxels as job, but what if i dont know really how that could be? what if i disliked it soon if voxeling was my priima job?)))) Looks like i have to release RDVOX-0.40 without adding any more goods to this release

[GRAU]

Well,looks like the RDVOX 0.40 for zdoomports is ready but i need to apply all he same changes to DelphiDoom version of RDVOX, before the release. And i want to show you something fresh thatisnot going to be included to RDVOX 0.40
