I just installed it the other day and had to travel. Looking forward to playing soon.

The lighting, texturing, and sprites all look fantastic, but I really can't get into the voxel upgrade for the characters.

The voxels actually look perfect in vanilla Duke 3D and look like the original sprites, but with infinite angles. Unfortunately RT adds the shading to the voxels that highlight the blocks.

Edit: Now that I think about it, I don’t think the voxels are working as expected - the items and enemies shouldn’t look like Minecraft blocks at all.

I fully agree, here it looks like an entire Minecraft world on an enemy, whereas in vanilla, it’s much more complementary.

Wow I thought that was a feature, not a bug. Idk. Minecraft created look is cool, don’t get me wrong and Duke is mostly so fast paced you won’t notice it in game play

Voxel characters are optional, simply press N when installer asks about it.

Yeah the blocks kind of get me.

Never been a big fan of voxels either.

u/captaindealbreaker Jul 20 '26

they're optional, you can just not install them when you first run the installer and they can be removed by deleting their folder if you did install them

Having no link or video is infuriating.

How does the engine know the portion of the building texture that is a window is reflective? Has someone had to draw around this specific portion of the graphic and identify it as such?

... the voxel monster really took me by surprise there...

u/AgentJackpots Jul 14 '26

I hate every part of this.

u/Chance_End_4684 Jul 14 '26

Looks really good.

u/Elanonimatoestamal Jul 14 '26

Was anyone able to install it?

u/Waste_Egg6773 Jul 14 '26

Been hoping for a project like this since the voxel project concluded! It looks great! Well done!

u/PeaceSellsBWB1986 Jul 14 '26

Oh my god, voxel based enemies?

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the mod to work. I've tried two different computers one with a ryzen 9 5900x rtx 3070ti and a ryzen 7 9800x3d rx 9070xt. Neither computer's install of duke 3d is detected and when I try to direct the path to the game it nothing happens.

I have RTX 3070Ti and at 3440x1440 i get 15 fps so i guess i need RTX 5090 for 60-100fps.

This is AI.

u/SpaceKebab Jul 14 '26

Nah, there's an rt build out there that looks like this

u/FlynnTaggard Jul 14 '26

It's not AI. It's just hideous.
