DOOM 3 Modder Redoes First-Person Weapon Animations

Not all gamers like the dark DOOM 3, but the project still has a certain fan base, and fans continue to release various modifications for their favorite shooter to this day.

Recently, a modder under the nickname ZeHatsu presented a free modification for DOOM 3, which completely reworks the first-person animations of almost all weapons (models from the Resurrection of Evil expansion are not included).

During a conversation with one of the players, the modder said that he would like to make an improved animation for the machine gun, but faced a problem:

The model displayed from a first-person perspective doesn't leave much room for work, and the third-person model is not intended to be viewed from a first-person perspective at all. The Chaingun model from DOOM 3 from a first-person perspective, if you look at it from the side, is essentially just a hollow tube.

The modder published a video demonstrating his project.

The "Doom 3 reanimated mod" modification by ZeHatsu is available for free on itch.io. This modification is not compatible with DOOM 3 BFG Edition, and the developer recommends that players use the "Dhewm 3 Source port" version (this is a port of the original shooter).
