    After quite some experimentation all the parts fit and look like they were meant to. See the item here with instructions on how to assemble.

    I made Luigi too now. He is up here.
    But unfortunately I will need to wait with printing him until I get back home... in 2 months!! That really sucks :/
    What sprite should I make next? :)

    Ohh,ohh I know!!

    The first famous Super Mario level :) will be a long sprite but still very recognizable :)

    Ok... perhaps I will just provide the color palette for the level and people can build what ever they like with it ;).
     
  9. It would be really cool if you made a co-creator where anyone could send you pixel art and you would make the model :)

    That orrrr if you made the Final Fantasy 3 (FF6 in japan, i think) characters, I'd buy some!! Like GAU! :)

    Cool! :) will look into the final fantasy sprites!

    Have never done a co creator thing before... need to read up on how it works first. But it sounds like this would be well suited for it.

    on another though... I wouldn't mind doing the Mario stage actually... if I get a free test print from Shapeways :)
     
  11. hey mate
    if you do the first mario lvl + alot of free time + a webcam = stop motion video.

    luigi looks great too !

    another idea would be 'Minecraft' characters.....theres a big community out there.

    Someone already did that with bead sprites.
    In the meantime I tried uploading a Street Fighter 3 Chun Li sprite

    But I suppose that will have to go back in the drawer for a while until technology catches up because it blew right past the hardware and software limitations and got rejected :) ... in any case, the price tag on that would have been astronomical.

    Next up I will try FF6 GAU

    Gau is done! You can find him HERE. He turned out to be made up of quite a few pixels more then the Mario sprite.
