===========================================================================
Advanced engine needed  : Any limit-removing engine that doesn't require
                         IWAD sprite merging is recommended.
Primary purpose         : Sprite replacement. I guess that makes it
                         Single+Coop play.

Title                   : The Plasticine Cacodemon
Filename                : PLASCACO.WAD
Release date            : 13/3/2009
Author                  : Maes
Email Address           : [email protected]
Other Files By Author   : MANLY.WAD, GDESTINY.WAD, (withheld)
Misc. Author Info       : Just a fella minding his own business.

Description             : A replacement set of sprites for the Cacodemon.
                         The novelty is that the sprites were produced
                         starting from photos of a self-made static
                         plasticine model of a cacodemon, just like id
                         did. The model was based on the id original,
                         but is different in its own way. Try to see ;-)

Additional Credits to   : TimeOfDeath for saving me the time of making
                         the included test map (heh). To the Doomworld
                         community for having provided positive input
                         since the beginning of the project.

This is more of a "proof of concept" release,  to prove  that this is a viable sprite creation technique. More info can be found on:
http://www.doomworld.com/vb/wads-mods/48080-plasticine-sprites-wip-now-with-demo-wad/

These sprites are based on downscaling and color reduction of high-res originals (at 4x times the vanilla resolution). Upon request, the hi-res originals are available for editing and/or enhancing. Needless to say, using this in your own WADs is allowed
and encouraged.
