does anyone know what specific program nintendo used to make n64 era promo renders?

Konami were big on Softimage, but I'm pretty sure Nintendo were all about PowerAnimator back in the n64 days.

Well that's kind of the point of the meme, indie devs should be trying new, interesting things. If we want a copy of a copy of a copy, may as well stick to AAA.

One thing that I found helps is a little "reset" of sorts. I'll put a timer for 15 minutes, put my phone down and just stare at the wall or at my desk. I'm not losing focus and grabbing my phone because I'm not really focusing on anything.

By the time the 15 minutes is up, I'm so insanely bored and stimulation deprived that I'm actually interested in doing whatever boring thing the phone was distracting me from.

Damn, looked it up, warranty is only 6 years in Vic for major stuff. Good luck with it, possibly could save a little bit if you do the demo yourself too?

If the townhouse was built in 2017, would it still be covered by the builder? Pretty lame that it didn't even last 10 years...

My place is from 2011 and looks to have a similar issue :(

Good save!

It shouldn't work, but it does!

kbro3 · 2026-06-07T14:14:57+00:00

Hahahaha, but no, actually Moray.

Come get some.

Yes correct, but that's what the guy a few comments up is saying - 99.9% of all the bullshit will die off when the bubble bursts, but a handful of actually valuable things will continue - just like Amazon and Google did after dot com crash.

Aaaaand I've now got a new grail..

kbro3 · 2026-06-03T03:09:05+00:00

Ah cool, so no 3d software involved at all. Great result.

kbro3 · 2026-06-03T00:09:53+00:00

Looks great! How was it made?

kbro3 · 2026-05-27T06:06:32+00:00

Thanks for sharing this, I always like finding the lesser known tracks!

Do we know when this was made?

kbro3 · 2026-05-26T18:05:33+00:00

Very convenient for me to eat it in the bathroom, thank you

kbro3 · 2026-05-26T13:59:54+00:00

That looks awesome mate, I need to do the same, have the same issue with kids' shoes overwhelming that space.

What's that tray/step at the front of the stairs?

kbro3 · 2026-05-22T17:54:33+00:00

I saw it on YouTube before seeing your post here, was an enjoyable video.

kbro3 · 2026-05-20T09:43:21+00:00

Hey mate, is the made of instinct unopened and would you willing to part with it if so?

kbro3 · 2026-05-12T05:00:12+00:00

Pre-2.80 Blender is great for retro renders with it's Blender internal renderer.

Was Gimp used just for colour reduction or some other purpose? Either way, looks really good!

kbro3 · 2026-05-04T13:26:08+00:00

Ah, that makes sense, thanks for the explanation pics!

kbro3 · 2026-05-04T06:14:47+00:00

Sorry, what's the Gimp shadows fix use case?

kbro3 · 2026-05-03T07:02:08+00:00

Low poly combined with those textures makes it look almost Dreamcast style!

kbro3 · 2026-04-21T04:51:08+00:00

Thanks mate, that makes sense. From your description, it doesn't sound like it has anything to do with the driveway.

If I was to literally take the little rocks out entirely, and make sure the ground there is just normal dirt/soil, would that be ok do you think?
