Thanks for making this thread, this whole forum still need a little shaping up to do. I'll probably sticky this so users will know to go to it.
Im having a problem with model importing basically everytime I try to import it the model importer would say "cannot read".

I upload a video on YouTube to better show this here is the link

That's odd. I've been thinking on what could of caused it. Does this happen to all SM64 ROM's or just the one you have in that folder?

Try putting the S64.z64 ROM in your boot C:\ then typing "C:\S64.z64" in the model replacer program.
I tried that and it didn't work. I've used multiple roms and even re downloaded model replacer 0.2 a obj importer and that also didn't work

So it sounds like a problem with the program then. Maybe try copying the whole folder in boot c: and see if it works then, if not then the only other thing thing I can think off is try running the model replacer program as an administer.
I personally wouldn't mind a whole "Importing from Google Sketchup for Dummies" tutorial or something, I've made some pretty good concepts in Sketchup, and I know it's possible to import them to SM64,
but I don't have the knowledge, and no tutorials on YouTube are simple enough for my tiny brain to comprehend.
when i saw the extra music section, i immediately wanted to know one thing. does anybody know what the limitations are?

Sure, I'll get right on to making one for you. What kind of tutorial would you like?
I'm sure we've all asked this at one point or another, how do you import custom models and animations over Mario. A video would be preferred if you have the time, since I'm more of a visual person (and looking through the source for the Kirby mod didn't help much...).

Skelux made a handy little program that imports custom models over non-level models. The example in the video link imports over a title screen but it's also has other models to replace over like Mario's limbs. It can be a bit tricky to use that program though, so if you need any help let me know exactly where you get stuck and I'll try to help you out.

Sorry do you mind if you clarify what you are asking? Do you mean the limitations in making music for SM64?
yea, limitations

example

smw has 8 channels
specific instruments
cant play chords on a single channel

stuff like that.

i guess how to make it can be included roughly if you dont mind.

There are 9 channels available with messiaen's XML importer. It shows 16 available, but only the first 9 are functional. Here is an instrument list I made, you can select one instrument set (NLST) for each song and use any instrument within that instrument set. Occasionally chords will act weird on a single channel, usually when playing a long note. Although sometimes, chords work just fine.
thats..... a rather complex and possibly limited instrument set... granted not as complicated as pokemon gen3 which can barely be done at all as far as i know.
Subdrag's sound tool used to be able to import to SM64, but it wasn't "safe" as he said, so now it only plays the sounds. I actually have the old version, I'll see if I can upload it. If you plan to use it, I recommend making a back-up of your ROM before importing.
How do I extract the textures of the game, a 2x larger size? Because when I do "dumping" of texuras, they leave very small, and if I edit them, they get Embassies.

Sorry for my bad English #smw{^_^}

That's the original size of the textures in SM64. The game can only handle 32px*32px or 32px*64px. If you want bigger textures you are going to have to re-size them after the ripping the original textures.

The kind that has pictures along with words, if you do not mind. I'm more of a hands-on type learner. I learn by being shown what to do instead of told.
Is there any way for Bowser to appear normal looking in the final battle, like on the DS?

Here you go, I hope this is what you wanted. Let me know if you want any more help.

It's possible but their is really any easy solution to it at the moment. It's more high level hacking stuff, I'll try to help you out with that if you really want it though, but I personally think it will be too much of a hassle.
