you know why these look so good? because there are no textures, just materials interacting with light. only the ground is subject to the indignity of being textured. Textures should go to fuck

it doesn't

>inb4 retard pulls up one that has one bump map and says nuh-uh see, missing the point that that's like a tiny accent on a style that was pulling all its beauty out of light on high polys
Once textures starting doing the work that should have been done by materials and light it was all over

do you even know what a texture is?

now go and render a billion polygon characters in real time on real hardware from 5th gen, you dumb fuck

Attempting to awkwardly pre-shame opinions contradicting your own to prevent them would already be embarrassing without the fact that the OP pic HAS bump mapping AND textures

It's the simplicity in the model style than trying to go for realism.

[Anonymous No.7386967]

>>7386164
Why do you care about visual details? it'd be the same game either way unless you somehow can't make out where your character is or what he's doing.

Early Gamecube games had this look, like Luigis Mansion and Pikmin, its a matter of simple and clean polygons in high resolution.

Insisting on the fact that other people are appreciating something wrong is a big part of /vr/

But that's not from the game; it's a promo pic

How come the Mario RPG renders look so bad in comparison to the SM64 ones or even the Donkey Kong Country stuff done years before?

[Anonymous No.7387109]

>>7387020
Saying it's the same game whether it looks like it actually does or looked like that art instead doesn't disagree with that being artwork and not the game in reality.

I prefer when writing has some punctuation thrown in, but I guess that's somewhat of an extravagant courtesy at this point

Not sure where you're imagining commas would go there.

It looks ok once it's crunched down to the game's resolution but yeah, the hi-res renders look extremely crude in comparison to DKC for a game released two years later

[Anonymous No.7387374]

It looks so good because Mario is saying: "Mama, Mia!" and he has a surprised look about him.

[Anonymous No.7387472]

No he isnt, hes going
"AWAWAWAWA AHHHH!!!"

[Anonymous No.7387590]

>>7387035
cos they just started using textures.

In 3D graphics a material defines the optical properties of an object: its color and whether it is dull or shiny. A texture is a pattern that breaks up the uniform appearance of the material. Materials may include a texture (or not)

>>7386269
bizarre post. agrees with me, provides a good example but then calls me a dumb fuck for something else that i didn't say or imply.

That's Mario 64 promo art that was part of the Nintendo leak last year you autist. The game it's for is Mario 64.

you know, it's not far off. not sure about that image (ingame?) but i look at some footage and while it's too low poly and res, if you simply upped the polys (which you could now) and the res, you'd be .. at least most of the way there.

i mean why is your pic like 10x the actual game's resolution?

ok forget the resolution I thought that that was what was different but it's actually the polys. His nose is a hexagon ingame and yours is like nurbs smooth.
Just say the fucking image source because as far as i'm surmising we're just looking at another render

it's in-game, Luigi's Mansion 3
probably one of the best animated games out there but not very engaging to play

>>7388817
>Luigi's Mansion 3
ah ok. that's not a gamecube game. but yeah if you modded that to remove the horrible, extreme whole-screen bloom, and turn off that white-glo shit around the edges of stuff
You'd be doing pretty good
