Mario3D, OpenGL 2.1, Newton physics etc.

Hope you finish this; it looks pretty great so far. I've been also working on a 3D fangame, but it uses sprites instead of models (mainly because of my lack of knowledge about 3D modeling and the lack of already ripped and animated 3D models from Mario games out there).

I need a little help from someone with a modeling program, I've got the Sunshine Mario model, which has 12872 frames of animation, and I need someone to name all the animations there so I don't have to go through all of them.
Anyone feel up for it? :)

Hm...will this guy get a special demos along the way?

Yes.

I might be able to do it then, I'll PM you tomorrow or the next day.

Okiedokie, You do that ;)

creave, are you making a "WASD" camera or a camera that follows Mario? You know, like in Super Mario Sunshine, the camera follows him and etc...

Edit: Are you posting any more screenshots? I would LOVE to see the progress!

I had a "WASD" camera before, but I've been working on the camera and character controller and it's starting to shape up ;)
It's going to be like any other Mario 3D game (Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine).

Here's a new screenshot, where I jumped on a few logs (with physics), to get up on a cube where Black Yoshi is standing doing some stuff :P


I need to solve a few more things, then I'll release a small sandbox test, where you can run around and jump on some physicsprops perhaps etc.

Time for sleep, feel a bit sick. (Or well, Hungover ;P)
I got to do a whole lot tonight though!

+A pretty simple shader system, that will allow effects such as DoF (Depth of Field), Bloom, Disaturate, Sepia etc.
+Animation system, That's why I need someone who can "extract" the animations for me ;)
+Alot of camera changes.
+Character Controller (Currently you can run around, and jump ;) )

Now I'm off to bed! Nighty ;)

I remember this! Keep up the god work :3

This looks so awesome, keep it up

Are you going to release a video, too? I can't resist this. Seriously!

You'll get to try it soon, Just doing some bugfixing and add a keyboard wrapper (I'm using a Gamepad), and perhaps a config tool then I'll release a movement demo, with some physics etc :)

I love the lack of texture filtering.

Like, no sarcasm or anything. So sharp.

I still need someone who can "extract" some animations and stuff for me, anyone interested to help? :)
It's really simple, but requires a modeling program such as 3d Studio Max and you'll get to try stuff out before everyone else ;)

Oh, and here's a new screenshot with 90 Yoshi Eggs on :P

Here's a site where you can get Super Mario Sunshine & Other Models:

Can i help you with story/ideas?

Thanks! but I've already ripped the models ^^
I just need someone to check through ~13 000 frames and name them so I know which frames are what kind of animation ^^

mrmario
I'm not going to create a game with story myself, I'm gonna write the engine and someone else will have to make a game with story.
I'll create example maps with all of the engines functionality though ;)
Could make a small story game with it perhaps :P

Ideas are always welcome!

^ true ^

Are you making any enemies in the engine? Like Goombas and Koopas
Are you including FLUDD, too?

I am looking forward to this!
