Doesn't matter if you use pretty three-point lighting, jacked up the anti-aliasing to Pixar-quality, enabled raytracing, or messed around with mental ray, something that has a low polycount and extremely low-res textures will still look like vomit, but with pretty lights and raytracing (especially Baby Mario and Baby Luigi's hat insignia, it still looks particularly awful).Baby Luigi said:
Mister Wu: Why aren't they using San-ei brand Mario plushies? Looks jarring against the other San-ei plushies. D:

I don't even think I am trying to make sense out of that "commercial" and the choice of plushies (maybe they wanted to promote also the old ones...), but I'll wait for that moment:
Stacy: but where are the Koopatrols?

That's why I said "passable", dip*bleep*
I didn't even mention that it looks like pixar quality. All I said was that it "looks" hi-res. I mean, people claimed that Mario Kart 8 models looked "hi-res" even though they were anything but that, that it was the rendering environments that gave them their look. Good rendering techniques is around as important to creating a pleasing image as much as actually having a high poly and high texture res.
And then you go on to mention how crappy the textures are, something I already acknowledged in my post. And I had mentioned it's not my best render, that I kinda rushed it because of the ----ing internet time limit imposed on our computer and that I want to make the most of it.
I know about this around as much as you, you don't need to act condescending about this subject towards me.

You know it's bad when you have to use a model from three generations ago as a comparison.

It's not a fair comparison to compare the 3DS graphical capabilities with say, a modern gaming computer's graphics either.
Compare that to Mario Kart DS and Mario Party DS's models, the last handheld generation, and it's a huge improvement.

Their bodies definitely don't fit in those karts then again I could say the same for a couple of karts Peach and Daisy can be in in MK7 (as in you can visibly see they've shrunken/cut off their lower bodies to get the model to fit in the kart)

The model quality and paint job aren't shabby though. I think they look pretty cute!
I'd totally fit in a small kart, too given my total weight of being a whopping 92 pounds.Threek said:
Just noticed this subtle detail:
Either Morton has a super small attachment of the legs to the body or they probably got the left leg wrong, covering parts of the padded stomach. As comparison:
And the best official Morton's drawing evah:
Clever Morton is a thing of beauty...

This is why I talked about "small attachment", I definitely considered this possibility. Sorry that I didn't find a better term. In this hypothesis, the leg would go from the padded belly to the point where the leg starts on the bottom, which is not much.Baby Luigi said:
