Description
This blender file contains the character Mario! It is modeled, textured and rigged. Its ready for animation right now! The rig has custom control shapes, blendshapes to fix deformation issues and settings to control rig attributes and control visibility. The textures include color and custom bump maps for the pant seams,and the hat logo. Subsurface scattering has also been included in the skin material and built for the cycles render engine. Plus a couple other goodies too!
I have also included a tutorial instructing you on how to use the rig. This will allow you to take full advantage of it and get up to speed on what is included in the blend file.. Follow this link to the video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYZjVPc3hc0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYZjVPc3hc0)
While this is a fan art piece I would still like you to credit me with the creation of the model, texture and rig. Feel free to adapt it but please credit me in whatever medium you use it in. Also, please use this for educational reasons and personal projects only. I have placed this under the CC-BY-NC license to ensure it never gets used commercially, but its does not mean you can use this for whatever you want. Just because you claim its for "non commercial" purposes it does not automatically fall under fair use. Again this is fan art and the character design belongs to Nintendo. Please consult copyright and fair use laws before you use this blend file and credit Nintendo with the character design. I do not take legal responsibility for how you use the blender file, so please be careful.
Lastly feel free to contact me if you have a suggestion, tip or an improvement. I would like to edit this from time to time and make updates to make it as complete as possible. I won't update it constantly but expect updates periodically (if there is enough interest). If you would like to contribute to the blender file feel free to send it in and I will credit you. Contact me in the comments below. Happy animating!

The youtube link is private... cannot see vid.
hey danifou, I changed it to public. My fault. Check the link again, let me know if it still give you trouble and I'll troubleshoot.
even though its 85 mb its ace
hey murrraaaa. Glad you like it! The 85 mb is due to me including the blendshapes used to fix the deformation issues of the mesh. I wanted to allow users to adjust them as they see fit. You can easily delete them if you so choose. That should drop the file size significantly. Happy blending!
You certainly put a lot of effort into this. Thanks for the upload.
Hi StevenB. Many thanks! I wanted to give back to the blender community and let folks explore animation with a detailed model and rig. Have fun with it!
Hi Everyone just a heads up: I have changed the license to CC BY NC to emphasize that you are not to use this for commercial purposes. This is Nintendo's character after all! I released this for educational reasons and for people to have fun with it. I do not take any legal responsibility for how you decide to use the blender file so please use caution in how you decide to use it. Thanks!
awesome! Thank you!
Great model ! Thank you very much !
Many thanks siciliano87 and CoyHot! Hope to see some cool animations come out of this :)
I had a really interesting discussion on blendernation about the use of this model as there are potential issues with the copyright law. So I just want to clarify things: You should be free to use this model so long as its for educational reasons or personal projects. Just because your project is "non commercial" this does not mean you can use the character in all instances (such as creating an animation for promoting your company in some way). Please review copyright and fair use if you are unsure. This is Nintendo's character and they have a right to protect their Intellectual Property. You don't get to use this just because you claim your not making money off of it. So please be respectful of Nintendo's character, and credit them with the design of the character in any of your projects. I applied the CC-BY-NC license to ensure it never gets used commercially, but its still fan art and in the end the design is Nintendo's. Please animate responsibly!
moo
does not work wasted 85mb
how do i get it o my blender i keep on downloading it but it never pops up on blender
but the picture is amazing i really give credit to you
hey gameshaker Thanks for the comment! as for the file opening issue I just tested the download on this page. It opens up just fine on my machine. Did you extract the zipped file after download? Give me a full rundown and I will try and help you trouble shoot. Also what OS are you running?
I will use thank you
the mario model is awesome but unluckly to much for my computer :(
Hey Letsgame59, sorry for the really late reply! I went on a blendwap break for quite a while. I included blendshapes in the source file in the event anyone wants to edit them. You can delete them to significantly drop the amount of data in the file. Also there is low res "puppet" version on one of the layers so you can animate it without lag. Hope that helps
how do i put a camera in this? srry im new
hey klevisn, been on a blendswap break. Did you figure out how to get a camera?
it so amazing i will give a credit to you
amazing mario
that is really weird. Another user reported an issue with downloading it. I have tested the download on a couple different machines with no issue. Maybe try downloading it on a different machines?
if you do manage to download it let me know if it opens. That has popped up occasionally as well
thanks Karlintheblocks and noom1412. IF you make any cool projects pose em up on youtube. Would love to take a look!
does using this for an animation count as a commercial purpose
Well it depends, will you be making money from this animation,will it be entirely free?, assuming that your animation makes you no money, will you be posting the animation anywhere? youtube? As long as your not trying to sell your animation you will probably be fine.................
i tried it but it lags alot!
Hey there! If you are animating with the character, try using the puppet layer instead of the smoothed geometry. The puppet is the original mesh cut up and parented for specific bones. Its meant to be used for quick response when animating and to provide real time motion as much as possible. Once you have everything blocked out, turn off the puppet and turn on the smoothed skin layer and play it with a viewport render. Check out the youtube video I made. Should help a lot
Luigi please
I'll leave that to another blendswap user :) It was fun to make but I don't think I have the energy to work on another Mario character
Can i use it for a funny youtube vid ill give full credit thanks my channel is Meowsy Meows // MM with the pikachu
if you are confident the method you will use it falls under fair use then you are welcome to use it. Just make sure you research things ahead of time. Remember this is Nintendo's character. If you plan on monetizing the videos on youtube I would be a bit hesitant to use it in that regard. I admit I am not entirely sure where the line is drawn on this one so please be careful. I don't want your channel to be flagged! With that said, happy animating!
Zip. Html?
How do I open the file zip.html?
Hi there. Are you still having a problem opening the file? What operating system are you using? You should be able to unzip or unpack the file. Let me know and I'll see if I can help
im on windows 10 and I cant open the zip.html how do I open it?
wait do I remove the .html part?
Hey all, just a quick heads up - I haven't been using blendswap for some time. If you have a question regarding the rig, model or the file, it probably best to reach out to me via youtube. Just go to the top of this page and go the "Using the Mario Rig" video embedded on this page. Start the video and then hit the youtube button on the bottom left of the video. It will take you to the actual youtube page. Leave a comment. I should get notified and respond within a few days.
Thanks! Great model! Do you have any other Nintendo character models?
Im Gonna Use It For One Of My Uploaded Marios From Different Games(Models Resource).
