Hello all - a relative newbie BUILD programmer here. I'm wondering if anybody has done a real-life modpack, with realistic weapons replacing the original set? (I'm aware that for certain weapons this is quite unlikely, given their fantastical nature.)

Failing that, does anybody have an example of a good set of .art tiles with oriental people and paraphenalia? I've got a specifically realworld, Eastern based set of levels in mind.

Or in fact does anybody have any suggestions for what software I might use to get good 3D-looking models from? How do you go about drawing all your enemy-sprites? By hand? (Shudders.)

Thanks and a big hello from a newcomer!

Go to
http://www.dukeworld.com/ and
and http://dukertcm.totalconversions.com/ most is explained there.

As for the Far East art, I think you just volunteered to do some cool tiles http://www.3drealms.com/ubb/images/icons/grin.gif

Well, you can obtain a few [goody-twoshoes] "royalty-free"[/goody-twoshoes] 3d models, or just rip em from a game. Take different screenshots of the model from different angles, and put them into Duke3d. You can also hunt for underdog 3d games no-one has ever heard of and use the sprites from that (Ie: Fate, Legend of 7 Paladins, etc) Emulated games are also treasure troves for artwork.
