These voxelized Doom sprites are incredible

[lazygecko]

I can't find any coverage of this work on the entire forum so I felt obligated to make a thread about it. chillo (who previously released Blood Coagulated) has been working on giving every Doom sprite a 3D voxel makeover. Not just as flat Paper Mario-esque cutouts as you usually see with those kinds of efforts but with full depth covering every angle and the missing parts inbetween, including their respective animation frames. There's been plenty of progress shown on Twitter this month and I think the results speak for themselves.

Agree! They're wonderful with the vanilla textures being used

[Salt-Man Z]

WOW

[NightFright]

Chillo already made a lot of amazing Quake models before, so I am actually not THAT surprised he is doing a great job in Doom as well. However, considering the fact these are voxels which are really not easy to animate, let alone make them look good, I gotta say he outdid himself with these.

[FreazyWarr]

I've seen a few attempts at making 3D models for Doom and they always look slightly off because their definition tends to be too good compared to their environment. Voxels seem like the perfect solution to this. It's incredible how these models are almost indistinguishable from the 2D sprites when viewed at 90-degree angles.

dude that soo cool!

[HavoX]

I... am just speechless.

It's the first time that I've seen the monsters animated via voxels, pretty neat!

 

Here's the stuff that @DooMAD's made: http://teamhellspawn.com/voxels.html

Really cool, the best DOOM voxel work I've seen. Hope it actually gets released sometime.

[The BMFG]

he also made this incredible imp xovel. now all we need to do is give the imp a baboons ass

Speaking of asses, when is @Maes going to be able to lay his eyes on Cybie's fine voxelized buttcheeks?

[razk]

does the weapon get voxelized too?

[Snark]

Man, you just made my day, this is cooler than Snake Plisken eating a popsicle in a freezer

No no, of course not. You can take him home and go to bed with him, resting your head on his pixelated buttocks. Feel how soft his voxels are as you fall asleep between his crack, only to be startled mid-dream by the thunderous roar of a Voxel-Cybie fart.

 

You'll be glad afterwards that he doesn't have two buttholes like a Voxel-Caco.

These look fantastic!  Out of curiousity, what ports currently/will support voxel models?

GZDoom and Delphi Doom do, I believe. I'm not sure about any others.

Woops I should have read more of the first post! But anyway it deserves another mention I guess since its great work... haha

For Blood fans out there, I believe Chillo has a big voxel enemy set for Blood and you can use it! https://www.moddb.com/mods/blood-coagulated

Oh and I bet a voxelized enemy + item + weapon pack would be fantastic for VR! (Oddly enough I love playing classic Doom in VR)

In addition to all the smooth rotation, we'll finally be able to see the demons from above and below.

[DooMAD]

Happy someone is finally doing this.  Just a shame my artistic talent and motivation are somewhat lacking and I wouldn't be able to assist with more complex stuff like this.

That's what most excites me about this project tbh, classic Doom VR already feels like you're up close and personal with the demons and this pack is gonna amplify that that tenfold. It'll be so cool seeing these demons given a genuine sense of size and scale, with an appealing voxel style no less.

heres his work on the automap

EDIT : more automap stuff from him

Looks great, he's managed to "voxel-ize" the enemies without making them feel wrong like most attempts I've seen before

[Pixel Fiend]

Is there also a video on how it's made? The results are truly fascinating.

There are some older tweets showing untextured and partially textured voxels and then there's this one showing the posing process with stick figures

I declare this "neat".
