Doom Pictures Thread 2024

I have not seen this animated yet. This is related to https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Picture_format

It also shows how doom does not store transparent pixels at all.

 



That's really interesting. Like an offset saying to start drawing pixels.

Also the data picture looks so funny seeing the pinky "squished to the ceiling" XD

Fucking hell. This is the most beautiful screenshot I've ever seen on the Doom engine. Your map?

It is, yes -- thanks.  It turns out that "borrowing" a bunch of amazing textures and a few dynamic lights can do wonders for Doom visuals...

You're Lost Civilization WAD is still one of my favorites ever made so far!  Are you working on a new one?  If so let me know if you want any Playtesting or Advertising for it.  You do outstanding work my friend!

Thanks, nice to hear! Yes, I'm working on something but it's sloow. I'll keep that in mind!

Just started using colored dynamic lights in my maps this past month, I love 'em!
This scene, plus the lights, reminds me instantly of Quake 2.

Dynamic & light-sourcing lights in Doom make me happy. =)

Stock texture sector trees?  Hell, yes!

These shots are fascinating, I love the indoor space, the garden with the sorta torii gate, and the awesome roof detailing. Your project has hard mid-2000's vibes, I love it :D

Love the use of symmetry, elegant use of stock textures, oblique lines in vanilla, and, yes, the garden/forest backdrop. Looking forward to trying this out in motion!

Do you intend to use the same sky texture in the final version? Just asking because current choice does a great job of highlighting the level geometry, but is also maybe a bit in too much contrast to the surroundings. Have you tried something in, eg, blue hues?

Thanks for the good words, people!

I'll probably stick to the Udoom sky, unless I have sort of a last-minute change of mind. It works well to "counter" all the brown in the stock textures :) But thanks for the idea, I'll have to remind myself to check out some available skies before the final WAD assembly.

I actually finished a modern megawad for once, and the final fight I survived with a ton of powerups still remaining. I definitely am improving at the game.

I like those veggies from Icarus.

I finally got it.

A fully working Unmaker from Doom 64 in the Eternity Engine. Which can also be upgraded by collecting demon keys. The firing mechanics are slightly different and slightly randomized (port limitations), but the way it works is roughly the same. Ammo is not spent for test reasons, it is very easy to fix.

So nice to see what you are working on! Screenshots number 5 and 7-8 make me think of something Japanese, almost pagoda-inspired. Very interesting to see this in Doom as well as the sector trees!

Thanks! Yes, pagodas and other pictures of various "eastern" themes were the main inspiration for 3 of the maps in the set, those shots are from two of them. To make an actual pagoda in vanilla doom is rather impossible, so this was the closest I got :D
