[@mr.pavone9719]

Funny how Doomguy shoots the pistol left handed but he shoots the shotguns and plasma gun right handed. It's anyone's guess how the chaingun, rocket launcher and BFG work.

[@justuseodysee7348]

Chaingun, rocket launcher and bfg go straight through his throat

[@interpic]

Yes, and he also punches without a gloves although with the rest of the weapons he shoots with gloves

[@CuteQube]

I'm not sure how he's reloading the super shotgun as well, since he is holding the barrel with his left hand and loading the shells with the left also...
Or am I seeing something wrong?

[@YogiTheBearMan]

@@CuteQube he has 2 left hands I guess 😂

[@thebasketballhistorian3291]

Punches left handed and wields the chainsaw right-handed too.
Maybe Doomguy trained to be ambidextrous just in case he ever injured or lost a limb, heh.

[@maxcorrice9499]

This gave me an existential crisis over which direction the chaingun spins
Also I think the BFG animation could use some work, it snaps back a little too quick

[@unrealzocker]

You can select the direction yourself.

[@Dakobra_]

The thing about the og chaingun animation is that it just flips between two sprites, so interpreting the direction that it's spinning is just your brain tricking you.

[@stemen8396]

The door: *you know im not a demon. Rigth?"

[@ademkapovskic8106]

i like how you can tell instantly when the footage changes to smooth doom because the vanilla sprites aren't centered properly 😂

[@tombinodighisa]

It's the opposite

[@TyrannoWright]

This has to be an essential mod nowadays if the lack of animation frames hurts your eyes.

[@Euclidiuss]

Thanks. I can never play Doom vanilla without this mod ever again.

[@MrUnl33t]

1) More frames is always nice. 2) SSG looks like it is from Quake with all this new particles. 3) Not sure if I like BFG's recoil animation or not.

[@JATorigin]

"More frames is always nice" You just sent death upon you from the animation community (To be fair more frames do work for the DOOM weapons)

[@damsen978]

Fuck them lol. This looks much better.@@JATorigin

[@sebastianaliandkulche]

The chaingun and super shotgun are incredible.
What bothers me a bit are the enemies animation, they feel like they die more fast than they should? Idk. Did this mod recieved an update?

[@NicholasTamachaski]

I like that the BFG fires from the right spot

[@bramweinreder2346]

This and the improved sound mod. Highly recommended.

[@CoralCopperHead]

I can't say one is better than the other. I prefer Vanilla, but it's just 'differently good.'

[@BMPK]

you legit could just run lower frames and boom you are playing vanilla XD

[@HonsHon]

@BMPK I have to say that this is the worst take. The game is meant to be run smoothly, and the guns were animated to be at this framerate.
Running the game at lower framerate would be the worst option because everything would feel terrible and it would be hard to aim.

[@r.connor9280]

Plasma was a bit odd
but otherwise a decent addition

[@mr.pavone9719]

It's always bugged me that the bolts come out slightly to the left of center in the original but I know what you mean. At least the smooth version is centered.

[@r.connor9280]

@@mr.pavone9719 the recoil animation was what caught my attention. If it's a constant stream, so why is there a recoil cycle for each bullet? just looks like it's vibrating out of his hands

[@AlphaEnt2]

The vanilla plasma rifle is missing the cooldown animation when he raises the gun.

[@iennefaLsh]

Curious about how it compares to Vanilla Smooth Weapons.

[@Benetkabc2nd]

Oh cool I was looking for this mod

[@fragglet]

Why does the plasma rifle not do its recoil/cooldown animation?

[@BMPK]

is it me or is the bitrate messing up the background?

[@Povilaz]

Very interesting.

[@FR4M3Sharma]

Is it possible to get these to work on Vanilla doom or prBoom+?

[@yetanotheruser1989]

The standard shotgun looks better with the smooth animation for sure

[@crispyghoul]

I would play the fuck out of this

[@GraveUypo]

imo the biggest improvement is the bfg. the original animation is so scuffed. i'm fairly sure it wasn't even meant to look like that

[@Vorticough]

now imagine smooth voxel doom

[@bbalazs6270]

was this used in myhouse?

[@thewhyzer]

Some of them look *too* smooth IMO :)

[@UberBlackEagle]

Does this work with doomretro?

[@d_i_e_t_w_a_t_e_r]

No.

[@RedheadMetalC]

Part of the Doom's charm was always choppy frames in gun animations, thus i always choose Vanilla over smooth.

[@wyattbarnett3877]

I cant stand choppy frames

[@HonsHon]

​​@@wyattbarnett3877 Not everything has to be 60/120/144 fps. Tons of animations look much better when they have proper timing according to the framerate they were animated for.

[@wyattbarnett3877]

@@HonsHon sometimes

[@jhonrichardtrivinoflorez1782]

Smith, Vanilla, Brutal, Z...

[@JohnLucPicard98]

Ssg is the best reload of all time

[@Klonoa1488]

Smooth weapon anims in Doom make me deel disoriented

[@apple_m2_delight]

This is what doom should have been

[@CabezasDePescado]

What do you mean? Classic Doom perfect. Fact.

[@apple_m2_delight]

@@CabezasDePescado I just don't like the rough rigid movement of classic doom

[@mr.pavone9719]

@@apple_m2_delight it was a limitation of the time. Back in the 90s, very little was as fast AND smooth.

[@Baalur]

@@apple_m2_delight You mean the animation, right? Because movement in Doom is anything but rigid.

[@sebastianaliandkulche]

@@Baalur More than the framerate (which the OG ran at 35 FPS something we dont even have today sometimes) i think it was more of an size issue. More frames of animation are equal of much more MB, and on 1993 you would really want to save MB.
