Removing weapon sprites

So, I've built a very simple map to run in (G)ZDoom, that I plan to use to illustrate some points that I’m making in a lecture on visual space. But, to be suitable, ideally it shouldn't look like I'm playing DOOM, so I need to knock-out the weapon sprites somehow. Is there a simple way of doing this? Thanks!

r_drawplayersprites 0

Enter this into the console:

r_drawplayersprites 0

Brilliant! Thanks guys :)

You could type this into the console beforehand:

r_drawplayersprites false

EDIT: And now I see that while trying to remember which command it was, I see I was beaten to it :P

Well, thanks in any case.

Behold! (I told you it was simple)

Any recommendations on a nicer blue sky texture (I can't remember where this one originates from) and/or a grassy flat are very welcome.

How about these? I made these myself.

I like the first sky texture.

I can't decide whether I prefer this to the one I had originally, but it's good to have options - cheers!

You can also edit the color pallette to create a "natural-looking" blue sky.

Thanks for the tip - I briefly considered this, but ruled it out since it would have required me to learn something new, and then it's just a bit too much like I'm just indulging my interest in DOOM editing, rather than getting on with my work :/

In the end I built a skybox. Again, I'm not sure where these sky textures came from, but it's the nicest blue sky that I've seen in DOOM.
