More work in the Alleyway! (Part 6) [Track Revamp]

[@deaxli]

I always look forward to these videos. They're really well made and enjoyable to watch. Thanks for making such an awesome series of videos!

I keep thinking “ha, what a funny time to upload these, a day after the last one”…then I realize an entire week went by. Anyway, I love this series so much there’s something about it that’s just incredibly appealing

[@IPrpl_]

I'm more invested in this series than anything else in my life.

The weeks just fly by...

[@Jplays-Games]

I have a suggestion you could put a rake on or near some of the leaf piles I think it could help with environmental story telling

[@seaangel1430]

looking good!!

[@Akuma_yuk1]

For your shortcut i suggest making it mushrooms that you bounce on that give you at least one or two item boxes so its at least better to get an item , although to make that work you will have to make it a hole that leads to water

[@hiddencorner]

thanks for showing us

[@Bryce_the_Woomy_Boi]

I think there are 2 places you could place a glider ramp. Either on the bridge, or the ramp jump that gets you near the mud shortcut

[@ShortYoshiRules]

Yet again amazing work

[@ruhanahmed1718]

try a mix of both the old and new trees for some variety

[@ZayaMillis]

I love your videos so much!!! I always get excited when you post!

[@bs_blackscout]

Great progress!

[@foggykog]

For using Subdiv on Nintendo assets, go to edit mode, select all and merge by distance! They tend to export with loose geometry, and merging them together helps a ton. If the shading looks weird afterwards, you can select all, go to mesh > normals > reset vectors (This is also a fix for coconut mall's funky shading)

[@_vanessajane]

Great video as always! ❤ Something about the texture on the pianta statue seems off to me tho. Maybe it's the blue shade or the sleekness. I would suggest searching for some rougher, stonier texture. Like for example how thwomps look like

[@RKIOrbMage]

3:50 finally someone that talks about this, I always mess up and have to make like 5 spheres before I’m happy with what i get haha Love everything you did! These small video are refreshing

This has been a really fun project to follow. I hope you continue to do this with other courses from the series after Delfino Square is finished

[@zachsz9320]

Babe wake up, a new episode of Charlie's Delphino Square just dropped!

[@themc8769]

the pianta texture looks more like denim than stone

[@colororb4105]

When lowering polygon count, try using the Decimate modifier or in Edit mode do Delete>Limited Dissolve. These will both have options and a slider that will let you change how many polygons there are. Honestly tho, all GPUs are so fast that polygon count isn't super important anymore (unless you're dealing with literal 10s of millions of polygons). Lighting, shaders, and how many draw calls there are are the real bottlenecks now (and I have zero clue how draw calls work) Edit: I actually learned what draw calls are and they're actually pretty simple! But it's mainly something that's done in the game engine instead of in Blender

[@robotboi1247]

Awesome video, I love keeping up with these projects of yours! I'm a bit late to the party, but this might be good for future reference. Fortnite's trees might be good to consider, they have a nice balance between cartooney and realistic, and might fit in well with some Mario Kart tracks!!

[@pizzatime1978]

YESSSSS this is my reminder that a week has gone by atp

[@That1One-Guy]

Some variation with the tress could be nice, maybe some could have red or something similar

[@yourfavoriteginger2895]

One of my fav series to catch up on, perfect for making dinner to. Makes me wanna get back into blender

[@Christ_Enjoyer]

These are so enjoyable even when they’re on the shorter side

[@VanillaSpooks]

Love this series, quality is amazing and I usually learn something about blender just from watching lol

[@Mr_Sideways]

I love having something to watch when I get home from fridats after school. My suggestion would be to look Toad's harbor. In the map there's little hanging flags that go in between the roofs of the buildings near the more narrow sections of the streets which could be added to the ones in delfino square to make it feel more "festive" or "alive". Anyways ty!

[@HoleeCarolee]

just discovered this series a few minutes ago and saw this just got uploaded! really enjoying it so far, I cant wait to see what it becomes

[@cheeseboy2251]

My Saturdays aren’t complete without this now

[@PixelMakerProductionsYT]

Perfect thing to watch on a Saturday morning right after a long week at school ❤️

[@MiroBouchard]

You upgraded the best mario kart wii track (let me check) even more even more even more even more even more.

[@CafeCharlie]

And I'm gonna keep upgrading it even more even more even more even more even more even more!

[@MiroBouchard]

Cool!

[@dark2koneko]

I've always wanted to get into 3D modeling. Since I'm swamped with life right now, I love that I can get that itch scrateched and learn somethings. I love your content and look forward to what ever you do in the future.

[@ProjectMirai64]

Always a pleasure watching this series

[@Leonagraphy]

I get so excited every time I see an update video is out, love watching your progress and reading people’s suggestions.

[@_vanessajane]

Finally another part 😍

[@thegreatstapley]

Could you turn the bridge in the alleyway into a shortcut somehow? Or at least an explorable section. That'd be sweet.

[@Vexmus_]

I love this lil series so much. For the trees maybe throw down a texture or something (im not a great 3d modeller so bare with me) of some scattered leaves and such. Maybe even some on the road itself around there too? Just a thought!

[@Arbatraric]

(4:08) I think a trim around the base on the fountain on the road would do a lot to separate the two, it'd look a lot less like just some model placed on a raod, and more like intentional design of a city

[@jaimeroy9627]

How about making the pianta statue really shiny like stainless steel? Just a thought but it could look nice.

[@Herothecreaturemaker]

That giant leaf pile is begging to be jumped in!

[@ChumitoMC]

I really like this format of episodes! They're about a really fantastic topic, nice edited and you get feedback about what you're doing! Thank you for it ☺️💖 Also, maybe you could do a video with all the parts joined, could be cool too!! ☺️

[@albumorienteddungeons343]

These are some of my favorite videos! Also, I really dig your outro music

[@Legend1O1]

Can you please change the road texture so it has the coloured bricks, I always loved the coloured road in the original

[@tOhB_]

I think you could put a couple smaller leaf piles on the road, like how maple treeway has those leaf piles that drop items when you drive through them

[@myodimmensse_lurk]

3:00 you can try the “Multi-resolution” modifier for the statue, also if you rearrange the Hard Edges (marked on blue) the smooth will look more consistent

[@Pizzazoomman]

bruh I didn't even play Mario Kart, still cool tho

[@smallclover]

I don't think that Pianta Statue Texture is good. It looks really out of place for me. I would have expected something a bit more withered since it's a old statue, like maybe withered copper or some imperfections in general. But other than that, everything looks quite amazing.

[@MewMewMeadows]

The alleyway is coming along nicely! BTW, don't forget to take breaks from just one section and turn your attention to the other areas, every now and then! 😉 Also, why not place a few benches among the section after the drawbridge? (Unless you're saving those for the park shortcut) 🙃

[@idonthinkimfribnib]

This looks like a gmod map me and the boys would have played

[@Pikatwig16]

Stumbled onto your account recently and this is really interesting to watch. Small thought. I know you said you're not big on the gimmicks added, but maybe there could be a section for the glider on the bridge when it's raised up?

[@spiritsarise4665]

I have an idea, why not have the trees in the middle of their own leaf piles? If there are leaves on the floor, clearly that means they're falling off the trees, and therefore should be piling around each one to varying degrees :D This would also make the grass look more vibrant i think :D

[@zskull162]

Small detail, but for transparent things like flowers or leaves, I would use Alpha Clip instead of Dithered

[@N8-Squared]

Hell yeah

[@agentmonkey607]

I think it would be cool if your custom short cut went through a farmers market so it’s not just a bunch of trees

[@marcelopaulo446]

I Hope you make a compilation of this vídeos ,would definitevely get the views you need in this video Also, u should have used the pianta statue from Mario sunshine

[@reubenb5088]

You could use the bronze texture from the statues in Daisy Circuit for the fountain statue?

[@thevideogamesrealm]

Pressing F9 brings back the last menu 3:56

[@pbgamer115]

would love to see this series for mario 64 or mario sunshine

[@Yoshi-vq3og]

when trying to combine the smaller triangles into a bigger face, try pressing "ctrl+c" it should do it automatically

[@Sremolc]

hi

[@ChumitoMC]

3:49 you can bring it back with F9 !!!

[@koosloo_ulia]

Lookin good! …I don’t have much more to say… ‘._.

[@joshslater2426]

Will you be keeping the massive crowds of Piantas at the starting line and before the bridge, or spreading them out?

[@rorri2372]

You have to leave an Easter egg somewhere

[@thedude4063]

What if the player can mushroom and trick off of the leaf piles?

[@_vanessajane]

Sounds cool but wouldn't make much sense considering that in other mario kart tracks, you just drive through them

[@thedude4063]

@@_vanessajane Than mush through and get another boost

[@_vanessajane]

@@thedude4063 that could be working. Maybe a mushroom comes out of the pile, or the pile is placed onto a dash panel

[@TheLobsterCopter5000]

Are you going to try running this in a Mario Kart game at some point?

[@kelloggisson]

i love u

[@DE23]

am i going insane or is the audio mixed noticably louder than last episode

[@CafeCharlie]

I carefully design my audio so that the viewer feels like they're going insane due to how wildly inconsistent it is.

[@HYP3RHyper]

Something that could use some work is the textures on the buildings. They look more like something from Mario 64 and look like it’s slapped with a JPEG. The brick floors also look too dark for my liking and I really miss the original look of the Wii version. Maybe you can use the old texture and try and remake it?

[@_vanessajane]

I think it's alright, except for the yellow buildings. Those bricks look more like they'd belong to an Egyptian pyramid rather than an actual house. Aside from that, I'm fine with the textures of the buildings. The original textures look way too cartoony to fit in with the rest of the track's design
