That is amazing. I don't hack SM64 but I can hardly imagine how long that probably took you. I'm beyond amazed!! Awesome work!

Actually, it doesn't take that long. This level was made from scratch in a month, working on it two hours a day.

Here are some other stuff:



Pianta model, it only has 72 faces and 2 32x32 textures.



Ricco Harbor. It's still a work in progress.

That looks amazing! I loved the setting in Super Mario Sunshine, I just hated the FLUDD mechanic. I can't wait to get to run around and see how it would have worked without having to rely on it. The models looks spot on as well. It's amazing how close you seem to be able to get to the original while having to deal with the N64's limitations.

God, that's impressive, capnobvious!! Amazing! I'm curious to see how Mario Sunshine 64 will turn out knowing that FLUDD, Yoshi, Shadow Mario, and other gameplay mechanics will (obviously) be missing in SM64. Though I'm sure you could get around that somehow

Oh yeah, that.. I haven't done anything in quite a while, but this is as far as I got:


I started redoing it all with normals, only got the pants and shoes done.

Been a while since i've done any hacking, I seem to have improved. I'm working on making my old Luigi's Mansion 64 texture hack into a full major hack.

This import went best IMO. Still very much BETA.

hey cpu hack do you use fast 3d display to change mario's model
or is it done with the model replacer to do it because i don't
know how to fast 3d display hack. oh and another question dose the
game experiences lag with the updated mario model how many polygons
dose it have so far any way.and one last question can you please teach
me how to do some of the more advanced stuff like vertex shading and
fast 3d or mabey make a tutorial about it im trying to import a charter i made over mario using model replacer but it gets really messy is
it because it's made in blender

Every graphical edit is a Fast 3D modification. Although, skelux's importer and messiaen's importer is automated to do it for you. I do it manually, which allows much more editing. Fast 3D Scripts can be found in Toad's Tool's script dumps under "Polygon Data." I do not have the time to explain everything, due to the fact that 80% of the people would blindly not understand it if they can hardly even learn skelux's automated importer. Although I will say that every command is 8 bytes long, and I can name a few by memory...
0xFD=Load Texture tile from bank address
0xF3=Load Texture into memory
0xF2=Texture clamping properties
0xF5=Some more texture properties, can't remember
0x03=Load bright or dark normals, 03 88 or 03 86

0x04=Load vertex cache from bank address of up to 16 vertices

0xBF=Draw triangle from a multiple of A, descending from last 0x04 command

0x06=Branch display list to new bank address
0xB7=Culling options
0xB8=End display list

I recommend you study some pre-existing scripts from the game to try to understand how it works, rather than asking everybody.

As for the detailed Mario, I am not explaining how to expand banks, as that gets into level scripts. I expanded the 0x04 RAM bank a ton, and it did not cause any lag. The new Mario has about 2000 polygons so far, if I remember correctly.

this is like an excactly copy of the pipe model in SM64.

Hey guys. Since Nintendo's E3 is coming along shorty, I thought I might show off a few screenshots of levels I'm working on in my hack. I won't announce the hack's name until I finish at least two courses, so enjoy

oh, i like your style very much, mariohacker :3

Wow, Mariohacker. Those pics looks way better than mine. I should practice modeling/texuring more :I
