Super Mario Galaxy- 3D Boo Mario

[Girrrtacos]

3D rips of Boo Mario from Super Mario Galaxy.
This was ripped with BMDView2 made by Thakis- something that has a manual camera that loads animations.

I always liked Boo Marios Mustache...

[Fireshock]

It seems too dark.

Also, I don't they can be accepted unless you rip the textures.

[Girrrtacos]

It seems too dark.

That's because Nintendo only used Boo Mario in dark places, so they shaded him respectively.
Erm- also, the shading of his glow isn't in the model.

Also, I don't they can be accepted unless you rip the textures.

What about Broozer from New Super Mario Bros?

That was a 3D model.


So your saying, If I edited this sprite sheet to look like it was hand-drawn, it would get accepted? What's the point?

[Lotos]

I agree with Gir on this one. Even though I have no say in whether it gets accepted or not, I think it looks good enough to be used in a sidescroller or a comic.

That was only because NSMB has a fixed camera, making it impossible to get the models from any other angle. SMG has thousands of angles and combinations.

I'm not submitting this as a complete rip of Boo Mario. Broozer was defiantly not a complete rip either.

So what your saying is that this should be accepted-
and this not?

Well you have to define what a "sprite" is. Then you'll have your answer.

EDIT: Well I looked it up, appearantly a sprite is anything that can be used to create a series of animations in a larger picture.

And this sheet is a series of cycled animations.

[Random Talking Bush]

This is honestly the best Boo Mario sheet I've seen, but...

Hmmm... You know what? I'm going to have to think about this overnight... The Broozer IS, in fact, a 3D model (and not pre-rendered, as you've pointed out), and a "spritesheet" of that is on tSR. However... That Broozer sheet defies Rule #7 (even though NSMB has a fixed camera), and really shouldn't be on tSR in my opinion.

Screenshots of 3D models don't count as sprites, because the 3D models are made up of sprites themselves - the textures.

To that end, texture rips of any models is perfectly fine, and indeed useful.

So you'd rather have this- http://www.mfgg.net/index.php?act=resdb&...1&id=13669 than that sheet?
What's the difference from Donkey Kong Country? Rare rendered those, I rendered these.
And would it be a huge difference if Broozer WAS pre-rendered?
What if I said I did this custom all by hand?
Seems like Rule 7 is just being picky.

Almost the entire StarFox 1 section, or at least half of it defies rule 7. The ships and sitch are not pre-rendered, they are actually polygonal. You can actually change the "models" themselves using Gameshark.

However, Fireshock's first argument still stands. It's too dark.

And koopaul, by the strictest definition, a sprite is nothing more than a set of "bitmaps". A bitmap is actually nothing more than a set of pixels forming an image.

[Dazz]

Sprites are bitmap.
3D is vector.

[Badassbill]

Sprites are bitmap.
3D is vector.

But you can have vector and raster sprites with alpha channels etc. Just like the ones in Toki Tori and Puzzle Quest to name a few.

I personally think we should just not allow captured 3D models full stop. Pre-rendered graphics are different, as they've almost always been edited and touched up to be usable as sprites. There's almost 130,000 possible set angles to capture a 3D model, and that's if you're not using radians.

We just need to draw the line at that, unless people want to submit the actual model files them selves.
