Do bear in mind that one reason that it looks 'cartoony' is that it is trying to be a faithful reproduction of an old 1995 DOS based sprite game. The stated intention of the HRP was to make faithfull reproductions, not to update to a modern look and feel.

And yes, there is no dynamic lighting and/or bump mapping or any other modern "next-gen" game tech. That, as has been pointed out by others, is a 'feature' of the engine, not the HRP.

Unless you know of anyone who has any surprises up thier sleeve who knows OpenGL programing, you are going to have to wait till a "Classic Duke" mod for DNF comes out before you see next-gen versions of the old Duke3D monsters.
