Doom Pictures Thread 2021

Through complete randomness of ideas, I tried to animate a sky for MBF. I thought it wouldn't work, thinking it might have been ZDooM that implemented it.

Turns out I was wrong! MBF + WooF supports animated textures as skies! :D

(soz the GIF is janky. Trying to record in OBS on an old pc is kinda hard without it looking bad :s)

For OTEX/Eviternity I had a 1024x200 pixel animated sky with 128 frames at one point, but it was such a ridiculous idea and took so much space that I scrapped it. But it works fine in regular Boom (though sky transfers are technically MBF).

 

This is looking incredible! 

Is this Akeldama 2 ? :D

Is that something that's happening?

Sometimes changing themes within the mapping helps a lot, this time I wanted to create something natural and simple, it is not much, but it is progress :)

This looks exceptionally good. I'm a sucker for psychedelic, unusual skies like this and I wish they'd show up a bit more frequently. What format is this, out of curiosity? The reserved levels of detail make me think it could be vanilla, which I at least would very much approve of :P

Looking good! Glad to see Knave getting some love, it's a kickass texture pack.

Started playing SERENTIY by Bjorn Hermans and Holger Nathrath from the Demon Gate shovelware disc. The 90's is where it's at!

Thanks :D. Yeah, we definitely need more surreal backdrops in doom wads.

Back when I first started it (around december 2019), I was going for the vanilla format. But since keeping it to vanilla limit was proving bit challenging on some parts + other mappers joined in on the project, I decided to continue it in a limit-removing format.

Well you certainly can't go wrong with the E2 theme.

Except Serenity replaces E3 :P

Playing BILBO11.WAD from Demon Gate. Now this is a WAD that has a funky beat that I've been trying to find for ages but completely forgot the name of it. And today I stumbled upon it lol. It's an earworm that's for sure.

First and third skyboxes looks fascinating! 

@valkiriforce Goddamn your screenshots are so crispy yet HD I want to return to the 90s. How you do it? :D

Doom can be scary.

Some more skyboxes:

Spoiler

Another Earth realm.

Desert.

Outer space (inspired to some extent by the space station maps in Doom Eternal)

and Hell3, which is meant to mimic the sky in Episode 4 of The Ultimate Doom, Thy Flesh Consumed.

 

These images and the previous ones are all west-facing, I have six images apiece to stitch together to make skyboxes.

 

 

These are nice! Are they taken on procedurally generated Earth-like planets in SpaceEngine?

If they are, the clouds got better since I last played with it. :-D

They're generated in the creative version of Terragen 4.  They've really improved the clouds in particular since the early versions which had just primitive 2D clouds.

a little peak at my thy flesh consumed 2 😉
