Voxel models
0%
Description
Good day, I would like to ask if is it possible to add support for voxel models (volumetric pixels) to the doomsday engine/snowberry frontend. I say this cause everytime I try to install/add the "voxel_test.wad" to Doomsday Addons, it never appears on the "only compatible" filter list.
I'd rather prefer to play with voxels, instead of the 3d models, since I have seen videos of the 3d models for doomsday on You Tube and I don't find them interesting, plus, I don't want to install hundreds of megabytes (I think the 3d models package should be that heavy) on my hard drive, I have enough with the high resolution packs for Doom, Heretic and Hexen.
I think voxel models would improve some the gaming experience, giving some subtle 3d volume to the sprites but keeping the old school feeling of the game.
Thanks for your attention.

Please provide more information / links / diagrams / etc. to describe your idea in more detail. As it is, I don't really know what you mean here.

Doing voxels properly in GL is actually quite complicated.

Given that actual 3D models already exist, I don't think this would be really worth the effort.
