The use of classical art, landscapes, TMNT and toys shows their intellect and humor. These were renaissance men.

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

Possibly, but I think it had far more to do with the tools they had available to work with at the time. Using recorded versions of real life things was very common at the time. For example, the sound of the boulder chasing Indy during Raiders of the Lost Ark was taken out the window of a car as it drove to capture the sound of the tires. And many movies made use of the Wilhelm scream, especially movies by Spielberg and Lucas. In terms of gaming, this was a period where the studio teams were still pretty small and they were trying to release multiple games a year, so any time they could just digitize something rather than have to invent it from scratch, they were going to do it. It's not like these days where a game might have an entire art department with a dozen or more people cranking out the exact things that you need for the space.

[@MarphitimusBlackimus]

The Revenant latex model was not recast after it was captured. The footage at 8:52 showing the Revenant model on the spinning base is the same model seen at 8:59. The reason for the visual difference is that Gregor Punchatz went back to his models after the game was complete and touched them up for later public display, in particular giving the Revenant a more elaborate and detailed paint job. During this process, he did recast the Spider Mastermind and Mancubus models (just the latex portions, not the metal bits), but he did specifically confirm that he did not recast the Revenant or Arch-vile models. He has also stated that he kept the original Spider Mastermind skin (which he's posted several pictures of) but threw away the original Mancubus skin. I'd link the source where he provided this confirmation, but KZbin would mark this comment as spam, so I recommend looking up the "Magnanimous Mancubus Model Mystery" thread on Doomworld. The Revenant's armor was apparently pulled apart during the course of the model's touch ups, and id did keep these pieces with the model for some time, but they either separated them, lost them, or threw them away a while ago, hence why the armor hasn't been seen in many years. Also, the rumor of the realistic-looking hanging corpse graphics being based on photos of the real life hanging of Mussolini or one of his cohorts is easy to prove false. Those real life photos show bodies hanging upside down by their feet, but if you look at the Doom hanging corpse sprites at 6:44, you can see the coat/vest on most of the bodies is dangling towards the legs, indicating they either digitized a toy or hand drew a body that was hanging right side up and simply flipped it vertically, resulting in the gravity-defying clothing physics on most of the upside down corpses. Rather then having their artists spend precious time needlessly redrawing graphics specifically for the Jaguar port (which was being developed alongside the much more important and still rushed Doom 2), it's much more likely that the Jaguar port unintentionally pulled older, less-refined versions of the textures (which there are many demonstrable instances of elsewhere), ergo why they look different at 6:49.

I remember that advice for drawing fantasy art in particular says to pay special attention to the ordinary and mundane. To make the fantastical look believable, you have to make the ordinary, normal, everyday details look as realistic as you can. The more fantastical your artwork is overall the more important these details are to making it feel believable. Unless of course your entire art style is abstract or stylised. But even then it helps to understand reality to break it in creative ways...

Those wall switches kind of reveal how ingenious Duke3D was. The sprites themselves are usable so you're not wasting disk space having a duplicate wall texture for every switch, and as a bonus you only have to care about alignment while mapmaking.

[@coldacid]

While there were different wall textures for each switch state, you need to keep in mind that wall textures in the Doom engine are just lists of graphics "patches" rather than full-size images. It was actually a very clever way of storing and reusing graphics elements between different textures, and the actual wall texture bitmaps would be created in memory by the engine.

That was insane about the BFG. The design of that gun captivated my teenage imagination for years and it's almost insulting that it's a kit-bash job. I'd love to know what inspired the in-world pick-up icon because I was always wondering how you held a weapon like that.

[@turbochop3300]

I know this is a few years late, but the doom comic takes a stab at showing what it looks like to hold to BFG...

[@OZTutoh]

@@turbochop3300 A stab definitely. The one that I found has the mechanical-arm-like stock, but is missing the overhead hand-grip. I'd share my artistic interpretation but I don't like sharing HTML links publically.

[@christiancox972]

@Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 i guess it would be more sensible that it's a head on a pike. what might look like arm hair is its woodgrain. i guess my mind jumped to it being doomguy's arm because of the text and the fact that you can't see the spike coming out of the top of the head. also he would have remarkably spindly arms for such a macho guy

[@Fenrize]

It would be interesting if a game was made today in the 1993's methods by making character models by capturing their poses on a camera i.e. stopmotion style. The thing is, making a good looking character from clay is hard as hell and it would really go on to show the efforts and love put in their designs. And seeing the quality of the cameras today and with some the ability to smoothly do 360 capture makes me really wonder how it would look. Idk if this makes sense, I'm tired. But I just thought how many character models seem somehow like 'factory products' mostly because they're fully 3D, which sadly doesn't always require a whole lot of creativity.

[@seronymus]

I've been thinking of this for years. I love the "surreal" ish quality of pre rendered textures and models so much too!!

[@Trynt33]

The closest that comes to mind are these pretty cool RPGs called Hylics. The stories doesn't make any sense but they use stopmotion clay style for their graphics with an RPG battle system and it's fascinating to watch

[@commscan314]

​@@Trynt33The original Fallout also comes to mind. I believe they used clay model scans for the world sprites and talking heads.

[@kveller555]

That's in Doom 2, so you probably mean '94 ;) Anyhow, I remember being mesmerized by that texture as a kid. I always thought it was really creepy, especially in Monster Condo because of the music.

7:50 it is said that drawing was originally created by the longer the Icon of Sin remains on Earth, the stronger he becomes.

[@thecolorpurple4807]

3:53 Now that shotgun doesn’t have a pistol grip, yet the sprite shows Doom Guy holding something underneath. In that case, he must have his index finger on the trigger while the rest of his fingers is clenched in a fist. There’s nothing I can say except that’s the funniest shit I’ve realized all week.

Are there any wads that use the moving eye texture by any chance?

To me it looks funny! There is something with the cacodemon sprite that changing it's eyeball makes it look so goofy. Like the two-eyed cacodemon from Pirate Doom, funniest thing I have ever seen in a Doom wad!

You just know that shifty-eyed cacodemon is up to something.

The painting at 1:52 also appears to be a lower resolution version of a texture from Shadowcaster, a game by Raven using an engine id lent them that was technologically between Wolf3D and Doom, but wasn't suited for games as fast paced as those. The Super Shotgun frame at 4:21 seems to suggest it was pumped like the regular shotgun. Originally I saw someone else come to that conclusion but didn't think one frame was enough to be sure, but if you access the Super Shotgun with the 1.5 or 1.6 shareware beta, the way the frames are ordered and the sounds played also support this. Doomkid explains it better than I do in this video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZmohn1_gNShY6c), at 6:31 and 12:45 Finally the front part of the BFG seen at 5:24 seems to have been recycled by Tom Hall for the Firebomb in Rise of the Triad.

[@Seb-Storm]

I always saw that like seems is going to pump it with the left hand and then magically the left hand is putting two shells in the barrels. I like to think is just recoil from shooting 2 blasts at once and then doomguy reloads the ssg which would make sense

[@sdsmuseumoftheweirdstripex6489]

I like to think that the Super Shotgun has to be pumped in order to break open. This, a pump n’ break action, double barreled shotgun.

1:24 I've played many a game where the background decor does that kind of stuff. Speaking of gargoyles, there's a temple ruin west of the academy I attend that has four of them on the corners of the stone slab floor (it's all that is left); they face towards the center and they all have two heads with four curved horns akin to rams on each head. They're basalt sculptures of gadorika, guardians of wayward spirits against ghost-killers (essentially people who hunted wayward spirits for aetheric energy). The pose they're in is a sad, mournful bow; as I understand, the temple ruin once was a temple of grief (for those to come to grieve their lost loved ones).
