Sprite Monsters Like Duke Nukem --- How?

[Baker]

How can someone make sprite monsters for Quake that are purely 2D with different animation frames?

The answer can DarkPlaces specific.

Sprite monsters would cut down on the skill level required to make monsters substantially. I'm curious ...



The Duke Nukem action is so awesome in eDuke32 I don't even care that they are sprites even though it is obvious. Which got me thinking about this ...

What file format? etc ...

Doom/Doom 2 (and I believe that's was the case for Duke3D, too) used real miniature models as the base for all monsters, obviously with lots of manual post-retouch. So yes, using this technique, a US$10 GI JOE action figure, a digital camera and Photoshop/GIMP one could create a new character from scratch without much effort (maybe a day or two of work in total).
