DoomViewer is an application using original WAD files from the games Doom, Doom2, Heretic, Hexen and Strife makes 2D and 3D preview of the games maps. Note that you need game data to use this software. WAD files from shareware versions of the games are OK to work with.You can also use standalone PWADS.
Capabilities
Makes 2D and 3D preview of the above games maps. Allow screenshot exports to image files (*.bmp, *.ppm, *.m8, *.tga) or via the Windows clipboard. Supports all screen resolutions supported by the system. You can choose full screen only for 3D preview of the map. Supports joystick. Supports things and enemies preview for the games Doom, Doom2, Heretic and Hexen. Support for the game Strife is a bit  limited due to lack of documentation. Documentation for Strife game about things and enemies is welcome to the author.
Background
This program does not rely on original DOOM source code as released by ID Software, it is written from scratch in Delphi, although I've made my own port of DOOM (Doom To Delphi Total conversion).  It uses Direct3D technology to render the maps. The result is very good looking graphics. Be sure that your favourite game maps never were looking so good.
