Thread resurrection: Remodel Zelda

[Amon_Knives]

I know I'm reviving several month old (or some years old) threads, but I was wondering if anyone is still doing any remodeling stuff. There was a plugin a while back that could export 3d models from the games, but then it was stopped because of too many bugs (I think). Is it even possible to import new models into the game? The picture below is from a member by the name of Pogo and he worked on this a while back before this retexture stuff was even started. He then trashed the stuff because it was too hard for him. If you could imagine this with the new retexture things, it would be amazing. Is anyone still working with that old 3d plugin exporter and if so, I would like it if the 3d remodeling of Zelda OOT could continue so we can move it into the 21st century.

sorry if it sounds silly but as the n64 had only a certain amount of polygons to play with i think it was 150,000 wouldnt this apply to the emulators as well??

also it would kill my computer as some n64 games bring it to a standstill already

As you may notice, the roms aren't playing on an n64, are they? Putting them on a computer with excellent graphics and memory, anything is possible.

Still, the emulators are basically limited to the basic ops and stuff a N64 could do.

I think that remodeling is quite a bit out of the scope and ability of most of the people out there. Especially when these characters will need to be animated. They look fine enough as it is, already without a bunch of people making half assed models like that, and making custom models, like a nude link with kokiri wang.

ECK!! Did you really have to give us that mental image. You have a point though. We really don't need half assed models made. But then again, someone like you Kman could come along with excellent 3d skills and do it. Anything's possible.

I don't know much about the details of 64 emulation, but it seems like it would be extreamly difficult to do. It would probably be quicker to rewrite the game for PC IMO (which would be really cool but would obviously violate copyright laws, at least if it were distributed). Who knows though, maybe changing models can be done similarly to the way textures are changed by some plugins.

It will come with time Amon_Knives, the question is when and with who. The first step I would think the first step is to find someone with skills who is willing to do the job. Although, Toasty might have a point, or a good idea, LOL
However, if someone retextured that Link rather nicely, they could take snapshots for the equip menu screen with link in it.

Unfortunately, the only thing that looks good on Pogo's link is the hair.

With the way Link looks in that model, I dont think he's going to be riding Epona anytime soon, maybe if you changed her model to be a "short bus" instead it'd fit together a little better.
