Where has your fanboysimfangirlism taken you?

So I decided to cure my boredom the other day by building the map of E1M1 of Ultimate Doom in Minecraft.

I'm a console game, so I'm doing this on the Xbox 360 Edition of Minecraft, using a map for reference and mostly guesstimating the dimensions but it seems to be coming along beautifully :) I also once attempted this in the Lego Digital Designer and it was coming along smoothly but it got deleted and I forgot to make a back-up :/

But it got me thinking, what kind of Doom-related stuff have you all done as fans of the franchise? Or What's the best fan-related project you've seen? :)

Also planning on making a Doom Snowglobe for the festive season :D

I have countlessly try to model the classic Doom monsters even though I svck at modeling, I currently have 1 mesh I am happy with, the Imp :biggrin: That's it. :confused:

I also had http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/4959/65295185.png of Plutonia for Doom3, but stopped because it was taking too long and I am busy with other work. I was modeling the whole map (3ds Max) because brushes look like crap for organic geometry (old stone-brick buildings, etc...) with detail (cracks, breaks, holes...), and modeling is quite tedious work.

I lost motivation because Doom3 is a rather old game and the mod would go unnoticed really... then BFG edition came and I thought I might take a go at it, but then there was no mod support and my motivation flew out the window again :ermm:
What I might do is make the maps and make it a mod for Killing Floor instead, since that game has a Doom3 monsters mod and is a game with hundreds upon hundreds of players daily :biggrin:

--There's lots of other stuff I've done too, as far as editing original Doom1/2 etc., but I'd rather make something than edit something :)

I like the sound of the modelling :D

That reminds me of the idea I had to edit some mega bloks figures into both a Doom Marine and an Imp! I've put that idea aside for now along with my idea to make Cacodemon keychains :3 they would have had a giant googly eye for the extra goofyness :P

Though one of the best Doom fan-related thing's I've ever seen has to be the Doom Arena Movie on Youtube :D

Also if it helps your motivation Vynzent, While I'm making my map on Minecraft, it's the xbox version and no one but me (and my Facebook feed) are gonna see it :P I'm doing it because not only is it cool, but because it's Doom :D Though can you not make animations in 3DS Max as well? If so, make a short clip with the level? :)
