Super Mario Film

[tido]

I spent some time trying to smooth mario and it aint getting better than this. I don't get it, the splines seem very smooth but, to the render, they aren't much. If you guys don't like it, I suggest that someone else could finish the face.

[Jequed]

I've decided to make Peach, which I havn't started working on yet, but I'm saying this so that no one else decides to make the character before I do.

I'll give it a try if you want to send me the .mdl

[the_black_mage]

good job sofar, its looking better, try moving a few splines back to get rid of some of those verticle curves. goto the left veiw and move them left, then the front veiw to make shure the face shape didn't change to much. if it try and fix it up.

[Nunsofamerica]

yeah, no school today! looking good tido. it keeps improving.

 

also, i am glad you want to help us on the project. but intead of peach, can you model luigi? its more needed.

 

 

sorry for my spelling and stuff to. i am posting from my wii

[Chrury Sanson]

yep. It's getting there, tido. just ask yourself; "Is this spline necessary to achieve the proper shape?"

 

also, i am glad you want to help us on the project. but intead of peach, can you model luigi? its more needed.

It might be easier to edit Mario to Luigi's shape than to model a whole new character. It just might take more time. (Mario would have to be finished before you could make Luigi) They would probably look more like brothers that way.

You lucky duck!

 

Goomba update:

The sideways walk.

goombasidewalk.mov

I would be easy enough to slow down if you think he's going too fast. (MAN those goombas have short strides )

 

I'm going to take a short break to complete a TAoAM exercise. 2-3 days tops. ok?

[Nunsofamerica]

i would rather have 2 different styles for the bros. thanks though

[tido]

Personaly, I think luigi is only a mario scaled on the y axe.

If you ask some1 else to model him, he could have some small differences and look strange but editing a bit the face, keeping the hat ans scaling the body should do it...

[case]

The game is going to use all of the actions you make so personally you guys need to try very hard to keep these actions top quality 3rd person games rule around the main character so Mario dont get carried away he needs to be top notch!

[Jequed]

I can model Luigi before I model Peach, but PLEASE, no one make Peach before I do.

[Nunsofamerica]

alright case , will do so

[Chrury Sanson]

How much more do you want the goomba to do? (talking? squishing?)

 

I have 2 things I would like to tweak, then I'll be happy with him. Should I just send him after that?

well, really he just needs to talk and jump.us other than that, very good

[the_black_mage]

goombas don't take don't they just make sounds?

 

try the squash that would be cool.

[Nunsofamerica]

ok, listen please. this movie is not going to be 100% based directly off the game. in the movie, he is going to talk. he is not going to get squashed either ok?

[Nunsofamerica]

here is the koopa model. somebody needs to rigg him and give him a walk cycle. who wants to?

They talk in Paper Mario.

 

I'll do both, and the jump.

Good game. I love it. I cant wait for the new one on the wii. getting it first day it comes out. also. script is being written right now. part is done, still a bit to go. I will post it once its fully finished. thanks!

[Chrury Sanson]

Update:

I got the jump and the squish done. They're set up as poses to aid animation. I'll do a short clip with them after I get the talking figured out. (It looks like everything above the teeth moves up when they talk.)

[Nunsofamerica]

alright cool. thanks

[Jequed]

Here is my progress on luigi so far.

 

[Nunsofamerica]

Here is my progress on luigi so far.

 

 

 

looking good, but luigi is accually much thinner than that. thats about marios size. so I would scale that.

 

 

I must say though. I love the detail put on the curves on the overalls

[Zaryin]

You guys are doing a great job so far.

 

Where are you from in Wisconsin Ryan? I'm from Milwaukee myself.

green bay

[Nunsofamerica]

so who is rigging the koopa and giving him a walk cycle?

[Nunsofamerica]

I was fooling around with 3D stuff. does this look good? just for fun

 

 

 

 

put on your 3D glasses!

[Nunsofamerica]

As you all know, the script has been beeing worked on. The point of this entire short film is to make people laugh. It will take the concepts of super mario and make a complete joke about it. Dont get me wrong, its not in a bad way Mario rocks! but the script has started to be written. If you have an issue with it, please bring it up. We will be happy to accomodate most things. Voices still need to be assigned. I will very soon be posting a list of whats needed for voices once script is fully completed. The format that the movie will be in is Takes. It will have a short funny clip, then the screne will go black and have white writing saying take 2. Then Take 2 will be something totally different and not relating to take 1. if you have questions be sure to ask

For inspiration:NC Comics (Stands for neglected characters)

 

And even if you're not inspired, they're still funny.

 

There is this one I keep thinking of when I work on my goomba.

Goomba talking "MAN. This is like the easiest job ever! Walk to the left, walk to the right, and BOOM! Job security with dental."

 

And perhaps you should host auditions for the voices. ("OK, read this line, like mario, as if you are rolling down a hill backwards. Record and send to Mr. Director.")

Thats funny chrury, I wish I had more time to look over all of them. my friend makes stuff like that.

 

as for the voices, I will most likely be posting the audition requirements here once the script is done. We have to find a good voice for mario and luigi, you know. I think I might to the goomba, just the fact that I feel like it... lol. unless someone wants to try the line he speaks on the script and post it. who knows, you could be the one who gets it. lol.

try making the background lite so that the characters stand out more and maybe some glow on the coin. Also it's hard to see the shadows.

[Nunsofamerica]

alright, i was just practicing. thanks for the tips

[the_black_mage]

voices eh? good luck, you know your gonna need the equipment too.

[Nunsofamerica]

when you say equipment, you mean microphones and editing software. I can give you a 2 thumbs up. lol. Voices just need to be good. so anybody who feels like trying to record something on one of the scripts, go right ahead and try it.

[Nunsofamerica]

I just downloaded the storyboard making program, so now the script will be fully written soon with story boards for reference to go with it. I hope it turns out well.

[the_black_mage]

which one? i prefer celtx....

[Nunsofamerica]

for the story board maker? I use Story Board Solution

 

for editing? I use vegas, and nero, but 90% is on vegas

Hey all, here is my progress for mario.Don't say it needs smooth, didn't start that yet, just finished the first modelling step

[totlover]

Hey all, here is my progress for mario.Don't say it needs smooth, didn't start that yet, just finished the first modelling step

 

i would say to make him a little skinnier from the front view. he is not really fat. he just looks like that because luigi is really skinny.

 

his legs also need to be a little shorter. and the legs need to be a little fatter from the side view

 

but other than that and the smoothing of it it is very good

[tido]

according to this picture, mario is kinda fat... and I translated his arm and neck up caus I think it was making you think he was too fat and his legs were too long.

[totlover]

wow

 

he is fat lol

 

ok good job

[Chrury Sanson]

looking good there. Just don't forget that Mario's (and Luigi's) shoes have a sole. Example

 

Here's an update: A goomba jump test.

jumptest.mov

 

His pupils seem to disappear when he gets squished, but I think it works. Sorta gives that 'out for the count' look. Opinion?

 

Also, the eyebrows (unibrow?) aren't boned yet. Would you like them setup to bounce/wiggle?

 

I'll be doing a test on 'take 2' next.

W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L!

 

amazing. I love the jump and the sqash. very good. also for take 2, I have the models for what you need. mario is almost done too it seems, so it should be ready soon. Wonderful.

[Nunsofamerica]

ok, so. I like the way this is going. we will finish up the props for scene 1 and then do scene 3 props. I already have scene 2 props done.

[the_black_mage]

as of the scenes let ,me do the lighting, its something i like to do.

[Nunsofamerica]

umm, ok. sounds good. you pretty much lit the scene you modeled though, right?

[the_black_mage]

yeah the whole thing... i mostly work with out radiosity. in other words i work will with indirect lighting...

[Nunsofamerica]

alright, we will call on you for lighting
