MARIO - RTX ON

I tried out a lot of new tricks for this one. It's my first character with a hair particle system. Not nearly as frightening as I thought it'd be... There's excessive use of AI roto using RunwayML - I'm super impressed by it. Can't wait to see how it improves. Mario's base head movements are motion captured using a VR headset. There's additional clean up on top of the mocap, but this still cut down on animation time. Some close up shots of me towards the end are 100% in camera! These were shot in front of an LED TV with my blender scene streaming behind me. After matching the lighting - it worked shockingly well and saved a lot of VFX time.

Hoolopee demanded I get covid for this performance.

[Cyranek]

I don't want to play anymore mario

[ShortHax]

Imagine if this was someone’s first Super Mario 64 experience

[masterofpasta]

I like how the guy didn’t even think anything was wrong until he saw crucified Bowser

[JonkariP]

Integrating yourself into the 3D environment is top notch! The lighting matches perfectly and the roto is seamless

[SuperWiiBros]

Didn't expect to see some amazing live action involvement, that was crazy

[alexcodexxthekinereader]

“Here we go..”
“HERE WE
I absolutely loved this line

[angelomkwii]

If this is what Mario looks like, imagine how Wario looks...

[rollingsuricate]

Toad: “keep your eyes forward”
Guy: *literally looks in every direction

[lhugueny]

I know every copy of SM64 is personalized but... godamn!

[evilemperordude]

I love how nonchalant his reaction to seeing a crucified Bowser is.

[GanzoHasashi]

“Just keep your eyes forward” so he wasn’t supposed to look towards the power star and go to the blue wormhole? Clever details right there

[astro]

"Why is Bowser crucified Mario 64" lmao
He even has 64 % battery, nice detail

[Gabriel_Alves_]

The big mistake people often make when mixing CGI elements with footage is the lighting that looks totally different. But in this video, the guy did it perfectly, that's why it was convincing.

3:47 "Actually 🤓👆 he can try one more time, because in the original Mario 64, the player can live with 0 lives before the game over

[LargeMetallicFellow]

Toad: "Just keep your eyes forward!"

Horror movie characters: "Just one tiny peek... "

[worldisending]

That nosebleed felt like a shy character in an anime seeing an attractive girl

[EpicGamer-miws]

So this is what Chris Pratt would look like if he was real

[JaggedBird]

What the Mario.exe creepypasta _should've_ been
At least this actually something that can scare or creep someone out

[Luigikid]

This was so well made! How even!?? 10/10
