Importing maps to scale in Mario 64

[Keanine]

I have already imported maps to Mario 64 and they work, but they are never the size I expect them to be. I have a model of Mario that I import into sketch-up to compare the size, but the Mario model changes sizes in game when the size of the map is altered. Basically, the smaller the map the bigger the Mario model becomes. I'm just curious to know if anyone has an easy way to correctly scale the map. It would be much appreciated! Let me know if I missed any details.

Use Nemu64 and export a VRML of Mario and import that into your modeling program, and then scale him up by 1000. You should have an accurate reference.

Thanks! This worked absolutely perfectly, wouldn't of thought of it on my own!

I'm curious to what maps you are importing. I would love to see pictures of your work.

To be honest I'm just testing out what I can do with it. The problem is that I enjoy being creative and making things, but I don't really have any skill or talent in anything like that. I decided I'd attempt to make a level or 2 in Mario 64 as the level design doesn't have to be too clever and allows me to just try and get better. To be honest, it's probably best not to expect anything from me, but if anything happens I'll be sure to share on the forum!

Guess I lied. Here is an Airship Fortress level I've been working on!

 

 

Here's some pictures:

 

 

Firstly, ignore the random fire, that was a test to see how it worked. Secondly, I haven't added enemies yet other than the bullet bill canon seen in the picture.

Since this is the Q&A forum, how can I improve the level? I was thinking that it doesn't feel long enough to reach the warp pipe at the back, but I'd like your opinions too!

Is there any way you could upload this model of Mario?

[Keanine]

Sure, I'll do that when I get back from college!

 

EDIT:

Here you go, there's a .skp and a .dae in there. Make sure the importer is set to a scale of 1!
