Vegeta Posted December 7, 2006 This is an idea I had for a while, I know I'm not the first one doing this, but what the fuck. Using graphics from DOOM (or other fps), create papercraft rooms in a paint utility (or whatever you call them in English), and designing them in a way so you can print and ensamble them as maquets. Here's a little example I made: http://img480.imageshack.us/img480/2450/papercraftmaphf7.jpg If you want to print it, I recomend downloading the psp version with transparency on, so you don't need to use white color in vain. http://www.mooload.com/new/file.php?file=files/071206/1165501660/Image5.psp If you use or not PSP, say your graphic program (er, wathever), to "fit to page" and print it in "landscape" mode or the picture will print out incomplete, or too small. -- Contest idea: Well the little idea that most probably will not work is to make the best room before December's 10th, you can design it for whatever id Software's game you want (even Commander Keen or the other plataform games as far as it's a 3d room), Hexen and Heretic series included too. If you feel like adding ceiling, pillars or inerconnect rooms that's cool, yet not a must. No rules for the size of the room. Designing these are quite easy and doesn't take much time (less than a hour), and they look cool printed and ensambled. There's no prize, except fun and satisfaction. Perhaps monsters printed, cutted, and fit with a bit of plastiline or something will look cool. Cheers. 0 Share this post Link to post
Shapeless Posted December 8, 2006 this would be cool. I beleave someguy did this in the inside of a cutted out monitor. 0 Share this post Link to post
Vegeta Posted December 9, 2006 Here's another one, not really a maquet, just three cubes to put over the computer, hope you like it. http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/1263/cubesgk3.jpg Printable version with transaprency on. http://www.mooload.com/new/file.php?file=files/091206/1165665815/cubes.psp If you print it, remember to tell your program to "fit to page", on this case, in portrait mode. 0 Share this post Link to post
Shapeless Posted December 10, 2006 I want to print out those cubes and hang them from my car mirror. but I'm all out of ink. 0 Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted December 11, 2006 I remember seeing a website once that had downloadable maps of Doom levels complete with the flat textures on each sector. That would be a good starting point for papercrafting a level or level section but I can't remember where the hell the website is or how to effectively search for it. Any ideas? 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted December 11, 2006 Sounds like Ian Albert's site (he did the same for the DOOM II maps, as well). 0 Share this post Link to post
