________________________________________ _____________

This is the main culmination of my work over the last 8+ months. I don't mean that this render literally took over 8 straight months to create, it's just that all my previous 3-D SMB renders created in that time span served as stepping stones, leading to this final "8-bit magnum opus".

This is my 3D modeling take on the landmark 8bit video game Super Mario Bros., for the original Nintendo. I tried to cram everything but the proverbial kitchen sink into this render (unfortunately, I can't really find a way to incorporate Bowser, Podoboo, and Blooper in this deviation). Here's another SMB scene with Bloopers in it, so they don't feel too left out. [link]

Everything in this deviation is 'built' by plotting cubes side by side, not that unlike if I were to build everything with Lego blocks (which I'd like to try doing soon, if money permits). Some have asked what program I used...I used Bryce 5, but I imagine for this style of voxel modeling that any 3D modeling program could be used with generally the same results.

Super Mario Bros. (and all characters, objects, & sprites within) is property of Nintendo (specifically demi-god Shigeru Miyamoto).

Freakin' incredible. I don't know how you could get any better than this either... the only thing that stands out to me as not completely "3D" are the bushes / shrubbery. I don't imagine they'd look very good with depth, and they don't hurt the image one bit, but I guess that's the last place you could work your 3D sprite magic. :+fav:!

Heck yes, this is perfect. You haven't just extended the bits, you have actually made them form in the 3rd dimension. That is so cool. Keep up the great work.

Woah this is so very awesome!

Nice, you're back with new 3D stuff, very good. I like the way you've managed to incorporate so many different things into this picture, and especially I think it is cool the way you have the score, coins, time, etc. at the top. Again this reminds me of a 3D SMB game someone made at some point.
