When you ask yourself, Does (insert any object or software) run DOOM? The answer is yes 90% of the time, and the remaining 10% havent been explored yet.Artist Lennart contributed to the research by setting one of its maps in Houdini. Well, running might be too big of a word as the footage shows the level on a Houdini-made screen but no actual gameplay, though if it opens like this, I dont see why you cant figure out the controls and enemies.LennartLennart created this VEX-powered project for their DOOM ray tracer in SOPs using the map found online. The screen is a Houdini primitive grid with a resolution of 320x200px.From there, I shoot a ray into the scene, record the prim I hit together with its UVs, find the matching texture on disk, and return the color at the specific UV position. Do that for every pixel and you have a renderer from the 90s. I added some fake shading and particle effects because why not.LennartHoudini is not the first 3D software to manage such a feat. Weve seen it on Blenders Geometry Nodes as well as other programs and objects: a PDF file, an attendees badge from a hacking conference, Windows Notepad,LEGO bricks,Balatro,andFortnite.I cant even imagine whats next for this epic shooter. Its nice to see DOOM inspire people after all these years.Follow Lennart on YouTube and join our80 Level Talent platformand ournew Discord server, follow us onInstagram,Twitter,LinkedIn,Telegram,TikTok, andThreads,where we share breakdowns, the latest news, awesome artworks, and more.Source link The post Artist Proves That, Yes, Houdini Can Also Run DOOM appeared first on CG SHARES.
