Longsword97 Posted December 13, 2019 This is meant to be a hologram showing the island that my WAD takes place on, I was just wondering if this has been done before. The red spot is just a "you are here" marker. 25 Share this post Link to post
Arbys550 Posted December 13, 2019 I'm sure it's been done before. One thing that comes to mind is eviternity map04, where there's a little replica of another area of the map. As far as miniature models of the entire map, that's pretty cool but I'm sure someone somewhere has done it. 4 Share this post Link to post
Juza Posted December 13, 2019 It was done at least as early as 1997, in MAP03 of Eternal Doom. Spoiler 4 Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted December 13, 2019 This is an excellent example of "Doomcute." @esselfortium @kmxexii As to the specifics, Doom 64 For Doom 2 has a lot of little mini dioramas like that to show what switches do. 6 Share this post Link to post
Fonze Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) Does this mini-diorama also show a beautiful flower transforming into a skull and the touch of a slider bar? Nah but seriously that's super cute, nicely done :D 3 Share this post Link to post
ZeMystic Posted December 13, 2019 Eviternity did it, i believe the third or so map? 1 Share this post Link to post
Walter confetti Posted December 13, 2019 It was also made for Knee Deep in Zdoom iirc, for new "map intermissions" and in... Z1M4? Spoiler Also the first time i've seen something like it was in a Duke Nukem 3D User map called MPROCKET or something like that that have a mini replica of a city section in a office room or something like that 0 Share this post Link to post
RichardDS90 Posted December 13, 2019 Doom II Meets ZDoom also has something like it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Doomkid Posted December 13, 2019 Just throwing this out there, Fred512 did something just like this in his Doomed in Space map from 2016, map07. You pressed a switch and a tiny model in the middle of the room showed a bridge raising between two pieces of land. Naturally, when you go back outside, you find the big bridge raised! I always thought that was an adorable touch. 3 Share this post Link to post

I know that I've seen it before but the one in my most recent memory is this hologram table in Nimrod: Ixnay on the Hombre's MAP08. Here is another one from the excellent Reconstruction / Decontruction, meant to represent the station portion. Edited December 14, 2019 by kmxexii : shrinkage 5 Share this post Link to post
Rare Hatchiama Posted December 14, 2019 Look at all these seven layer neato burritos I want to just sink my teeth in to. 0 Share this post Link to post
Havoc Crow Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) In my MAP12 from dmp15b, the blue key is hidden inside a miniature replica of a different room. Also, at the end of the level, you come across a replica of the entire map. (Actually, in both cases it's meant to be implied that they're not replicas, but the real things, and the "full-size" versions is just you visiting them while shrunk...) 1 Share this post Link to post
