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 .
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
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.
