Post your Doom picture! [post in Part 2 instead]

[gemini09]

Looks great Dutch :),

also, Rayzik, I really liked your screenies in your previous three posts too, and I especially liked the one that resembled Plutonia's map23

[TimeOfDeath]

Hail to the king, baby.

Rayzik said:

Oh yes Dutch, that's looking like a pretty awesome project. Are you doing a whole episode perhaps?

Nah, just one map. Nine maps similar to this one would take me forever.

Very cool!

Responding to the last three pictured posts in reverse chronological order:
- Tripletron-megazour!!

- Way cool to go, Smartyface! (Y)

Shitty artist presents:



Shotgun pick-up sprite - Take 1. Thoughts?

[Jayextee]

Could do with shadows, highlights, and texture.

Uh-oh :P

EDIT: Seriously though, any pointers how I would achieve this? I'm using GIMP 2.8

Via drawing, I guess. :)

I'm not entirely sure if that makes it easier or harder for me :/
In the meantime, here's take 2


Apparently, adding bevel seems to help a fair bit.

Hammer and sickle? :)

Not sure if I've ever seen a square trigger guard. Also is the fact that it's one giant jpg artifact intentional?

It's been enlarged 5 times, hence the heavy pixelation. The original image is 96x32. There's a difference between map units and pixels isn't there? :/

This will probably take many attempts, so last version - in this thread - for now, still done with mouse. Original image on left, enlarged on right.

Yes, there is. Map units are for positioning, flat pixels and texture pixels, whereas sprite pixels are usually tinier as they have a separate visual functionise from the map's surfacial design.

So in the case of the two shotguns, it should actually be the size of the right gun, with the quality (resolution?) of the left, right?

Some trash I am playing around with.

Good god no, that'll appear huge in-game and look like shit.
Seriously:


I don't know if it's what you're after, but here's what I managed to do to get the size down to a regular weapon. Unless of course you weren't after that, in which case ignore this:

[mrthejoshmon]

It looks like the imps got crushed by the thing!
IMO the small version looks quite good.

[Rayziik]

A hellish level I had a dream about. Took about 5 hours to map it. Probably my quickest mapping session ever.

[Ribbiks]

really diggin the curve tool now I see :)

[Tristan]

Guh, that confused me greatly, though I have to say I'm highly amused by that giant shotgun image.
So if I made the image 72px wide like that one you've posted there, it will be 72 wide in-game?

Very nice shots, Rayzik! The perfectly smooth curving of the rock looks kinda surreal.

Ooh, nice. Digging both the curved architecture and the platforming - good stuff!

Won't affect the collision box, but as far as I can tell pixels on sprites and on textures are about the same size. In any case, can't you just compare it to some original weapon sprites in an editor of your choice?

[Rayziik]

Oh yea. But mainly the circular columns looked much much better than square or octagonal ones. Also Ribbiks, I'm trying to take some design inspiration from your recent wad Stardate20X6 :D

Thanks guys. The rock faces aren't entirely circular, but the screenshots don't show it very well.

[Dutch Doomer]

@Rayzik nice shots, I like the sky. But that rock texture you use doesn't tile well.

*sigh* I really hate this laptop at times, but thanks, it does seem quite obvious now. I'll take a look at them next time I boot up the GL-PC, as I'm going to refer to it from now on.

[Nomad]

Dude, Rayzik that looks awesome! Not a big fan of platforming in doom, but still looks really atmospheric.

[The_MártonJános]

Not the platforming itself impressed me either, but rather that marble texture on the platforms. Might ask which texture pack includes 'em.

[Ribbiks]

spent an hour dicking around with self-referencing sectors to achieve an effect only visible with free-look and GL graphics.... oh well...

cc4-tex.wad has them and many other marble textures in it.
