When i get off my phone for ten minutes:

The last 60 seconds of this video made me desperately want dynamic time of day for all tracks in the next mario kart

This is insane! Awesome work! The modding community is asking if you'd like to share the model so custom track creators can make this track a reality in game.

Just to clarify, there's no gameplay of this track in Mario Kart 8 because I never added it to the game. All I did was update the model in Blender. Bringing that then into Mario Kart 8 is something else entirely that would likely take me another week to figure out. Anyone who wants the file, the link is now in the description for an FBX file of the track. I've removed the lights and camera, which I'm assuming would be done in the process of adding the track to the game. If anybody feels compelled to do so, that would be awesome! Just let me know if there's any thing else I can provide to help!

I've written some shaders with GLSL, including normal maps shaders. A simplified explanation of a normal map is that each pixel's RGB value represents a coordinate XYZ value. Hence the weird color. This coordinate is the vector for the direction you want light to be reflected off that pixel. The shader reads the normal map pixel that matches the texture pixel to determine how light should be reflected.

I really want to see this modded into the game if possible.

My goodness, this is insane. The kind of stuff that inspires me to learn blender or photoshop or both. Even tho there’s a lot more custom models to make, I BEG for toad’s factory next. PHENOMENAL work, you’ve earned yourself a sub!

This turned out great! I recently had to use Blender to clean up some PS2 models for 3D Printing, so I definitely respect the work you put into this, it looks awesome!

I hope These could get worked into a custom tracks with some tweaking! Imagine a fan made bcp wave 2! I’m probably over exaggerating but this was an amazing video. Subscribed!

you actually did a really good job with it the only thing I would of changed was the luigi statue as it doesn't really fit the style but everything else is great especially the parking lot area!

This looks fantastic bro! You’ve actually inspired me to do some things with the Tour and Wii models and porting them to MK8! Really well done job with Luigi Circuit :)

Really really awesome video! Great concept great final product! Very underrated creator! Keep it up man!

this is so awesome, and something i've thought of doing in the past but never got around to trying. it would be cool to see other tracks from older games reimagined for 8 deluxe, or even levels from different mario games reimagined in a modern style mario game, like cool cool mountain or ricco harbour in the style of 3D world or odyssey! though those might be a bit much for one person lol, either way great video!

Track looks great!! Another great video Sir!! 👍

Absolutely amazing work.

This is really awesome great job man. If I’d really have to nitpick I’d say I’m a little bummed you didn’t show any gameplay afterwards, but it was still cool to see the process. Also could you do one of the Bowser Castle courses next? Any of them will do really.

Please do more of this!!!

THIS IS AMAZING!! Can’t wait to see what you make in the future

Excellent work, would love to see more tracks down the line.

Man, this looks really good. I really wish I could do this myself but I just don’t have the skill. I really do hope you continue doing these in the future.

this is amazing!!! you got a new sub from this my man, cant wait for the future track updates

My two month old kid enjoyed this video as did I. You did some good work here

Wow this is amazing! Great work :0

This my first video of yours that I’m watching. That intro was CRAZY 🔥🔥🔥

Epic! I'd love to watch even more episodes like this!

This was a really fun watch. Hope you will do this with some other tracks!

Lighting is calculated using, among other things, the angle (dot product) between the direction from a point in space to the light, and that points normal vector - a vector which is orthogonal (perpendicular) to the surface at the point. The normal map displaces these normal vectors so light reacts as if, for example, there is a bump in someone where there is actually no geometry. Normal maps can displace normals on a per textel level rather than a per vertex level like with "real" geometry. Blue on a normal map represents a normal pointing away from the surface as it normally would, red is a displacement on the x axis, and greeb is a displacement on the y axis (all displacements happen in tangent space). Hope this helps :)

Dude this is awesome!! I had a cool idea that, if this track did make it into Mario Kart 8 deluxe the anti gravity section would be racing upside down on the bottom of the bleachers. Like, if the bleachers were above the regular road and the road curved to be apart of the bottom. That way the boost pads could keep their place, but just be part of an anti gravity section.

This absolutely amazing, I'd love seeing more vids like these...especially with all kinds of other tracks from other mario karts

This looks amazing. Cant wait to see more in the future

We NEED Luigi’s Mansion!

Neat video! I love the Adventure Time music in your outro too.

Nice video, do this with other Mario Kart tracks that didn’t make it

this is SUPER awesome! cant wait to see more 👍

Custom track makers will be all over this model

Great video mate!

Such a cool idea, would definitely want to see more tracks remodeled

Nice job bro! Keep it uo!

Awsome work man! It would be so cool if you make some more videos of Mario Kart modding like this!!

I like this! Looks really good

You should release this as a playable course!

Awesome project!

For the blocks, you can use the same ones used on Koopa Cape.

THIS IS AMAZING!!!! HOLY COW!!!!

This was a really interesting video, from the perspective of someone who knows nothing about game modding

wow, I love this. it looks like something that could actually be in Mario Kart 8. You should totally do Toad's Factory next, its a really underappreciated track in my opinion.

DO MORE OF THESE!!! ITS SO FUN TO WATCH!!

My only complaint is that you forgot to replace the Mario Kart Wii tree models, but other than that, amazing work

Good job man !

great work you are awesome!

This is great please make this a series

Tienes que hacer jugable el circuito! Realmente se ve como una auténtica remasterización para MarioKart 8! Espero que sigas haciendo más de esto.

Bro this is kinda cool. You should definitely try and retexture some tracks of the bcp

Ohhhh my GOD it looks beautiful at night time You did outstandingly well on this, this looks better than the BCP, it almost makes me wanna make a Luigi Circuit arrangement lol

First video I’ve watched from this channel and it is great. Keep up the great work. One thing I’d like to know though is your outro song, sounds very catchy.

YES FINALLY SOMEONE REMADE LUIGIS CIRCUIT!!!!!🎉💚

damn this man singlehandedly put more effort into remaking an older track than an entire team of developers at nintendo did for the booster course pass

Dude, nightime luigi circuit looks amazing!!!

Beautiful

Looks great nonetheless! Hoping to see some gameplay on this new custom track!

Yooo!!! Cool! Good work! :)

7:14 - Isn't there a feature that smoothes chunky objects to look round? Like, you make a cylinder with just a few verticies but when you render the model, they are smoothed out to appear round. I barely know anything about blender but that is one of the few things I kept in mind.

This looks so sick. enough said

I would love for you to do more of these! It would be especially easier to do courses that are already in Tour (like Airship Fortress or Wario Shipyard)

you uh forgot the luigi hat over the bleachers but overall good remake of an old track

If Luigi Circuit took this long, then imagine trying to make Toad's Factory

Nintendo needs to hire this man

It would've been nice if you also replaced the trees, and of course, if you made these models public, the modders would be going crazy.

you know how in mario kart stadium you can see some audience members swinging some team flags in the distance? i thought that be a neat detail to add, great work either way though :)

youre meaning to tell me its that easy to remake an entire track from MKW?? damn hope to see more of this w/ tracks like Delfino Square or Wario Colosseum

This video deserves more views

If this was made on a Blender, i can confirm that is look so Good to play

Aw man, you didn't really have to replace the bleachers, I needed a high resolution of the Miis in the bleachers.

Yeah I know I’m in the majority here, but really awesome work man. This is simply an incredible showing of skills.

To be honest when i think of a luigi circuit remake, i alwayd think of the shortcut ramp as a glider, the pipes having gusts of winds to accomodate the change, and a ramp at the end of the dash panel section for some reason

Great video! If you could what if you could make your own remake of Toad circuit for the BCP?

Request what waluigi stadium from arcade gp 2 could have looked like in the booster course pass.

Luigi Circuit can return in the next Mario Kart's Shell Cup

Looks great I feel like the banked corner would have been taller to have a 0 gravity section if it was in the booster course pass

This is great, I'd recommend you stick with the vanilla mario kart 8 design continuing forward. The community as a whole considers them visually superior.

Looks pretty good 👍🏻

This looks amazing I wish I could see the play test though

My Game 3d modeling mindset was going bonkers seeing how dense some of the meshes where, but for a render it looks straight out of the game!

Astonishing work! Subscribed! Can you remake Toad’s Factory? That would be awesome!!

The track at night looks sick

3:54 “gooder” 💀

Incredible video quality for such low views! Subscribed :) Only thing I could suggest is maybe next time render the course before changes and do like a quick comparison of each shot from old to new to see the effort you've put in :)

This definitely needs a video of the track being used in actual gameplay.

Now lets get this beautiful retexture in mkw, or 8 whatever you want.

Wow!

I kinda wish i knew how to do this, it looks tedious, but also kinda fun to redesign your own mario kart tracks! And i'm glad you went with the more realistic artstyle of the main tracks i feel like that fits the game way more than the plasticky look seen in especially the earlier tracks. Can't wait to see what else you'll make

So… where’s the gameplay at the end of the video? This redesign looks awesome btw!

hey this looks awesome! as everyone is saying, release the model so someone can mod it in!

Metal luigi

You should do Wii Toad’s factory! This was amazing.

Mmm, fire

…perhaps one day you could show us your interpretation of GBA Rainbow Road if you were to make it?

That looks epic, can you upload gameplay of it?

Here's a challenge. SNES Koopa Beach 1 with an underwater segment.

I'd like to see it on a MK8 gameplay
