Doom 3d models gzdoom zip file#
To run it, simply drag the zip file on top of the GZDoom executable, and away you go. Unzip GZDoom, copy the file Doom.wad from your Doom directory into GZDoom’s directory, then whack Voxel Doom’s cheello_voxels.zip in the same place. To admire the voxels yourself, you will need: 1) a copy of Doom 2) the newest version of GZDoom, a fan-updated engine 3) Voxel Doom from Mod DB. I have enjoyed Cheello’s timelapse videos showing the process of recreating individual sprite frames in voxels:

Mods which make the game look how I had remembered them and don’t compromise their style. Huh! The only other makeover mod I feel this way about is the remarkable Resident Evil 4 HD Project. This voxel mod, I think, might actually be how I’d prefer playing Doom going forward. Modders have made polygonal 3D models replacing Doom’s sprites before, and they’ve never looked right to me. It could perhaps look more natural with a few more frames or little tweaks, but I really admire Cheello’s restraint to not do that. Enemies can look a touch weird up close, especially anything with an open mouth (poor Pinky in particular), but once you’re even a couple metres away it’s just grand. And the shower of mid-air gibs is amazing. Voxel Doom looks pretty great! Things look like the originals, only now they’re solid objects I can see from all angles, not just the handful of sprite angles. The mod only recreates Doom 1 monsters right now, but creator Daniel “Cheello” Peterson says “Doom 2 monsters will be completed in the very near future.” No more monsters snapping between directions or props rotating to face you, it’s full fancy 3D. The mod, Voxel Doom replaces the sprites for monsters, weapon pick-ups, items, and decorative props with 3D voxel versions.
Doom 3d models gzdoom how to#
It… took me a while to remember how to navigate Mt Erebus It’s pretty great, in a ‘makes the game actually look the way I had remembered it’ sort of way. The secret is voxels, carefully recreating those old 2D sprites in 3D pixels. And yet, I am delighted by a new Doom mod which replaces all the sprites for enemies and items with new 3D forms. I often grumble about remasters and ‘HD texture packs’ making classic games look worse than the original (heck, I don’t even play Quake with newfangled texture filtering).
