COOOOOOOOOOOOOLL !!!

The site looks way better, like it feels like an actual video game site. :3

Congrats, guys.

Thank you!

Q & E, right mouse button

SITE UPDATE WOOOOOOOOO

Well more meaning, like people who can already see the pending models now. Like say if you can see the pending models, and you go to a game that has a waiting model in submission you can view the model as I don't think everyone should have access as some people wouldn't understand they're not approved yet and think the sites don't have any good resources.

That is one of the new features we added, yes. Submitters who have contributed enough do have access to pending submissions to help spot issues early. If we made them available to everyone, it would defeat the purpose of quality control.

This is peak, but did the vg resource just die out?

You can use the right mouse button to move the model around. We can consider a fullscreen option, but in the meantime, you can use F11 to make your browser full-screen.

I'm glad we can download pending models but would it not be smart if a game or category models are not being approved yet you can view their unapproved models as we now have access to them so doing this would just be more organized.

Also why is the feature when you click on add model but the list for model that have been uploaded but not approved yet is missing, I know there was an argument about it, but it is a really useful feature. If it does get added back, maybe clicking on one of the names on the list takes you to it before it is approved.

Anyway, this is a really good update to the site, and I'm just happy I can see models that haven't been improved yet.

I really like the 3D viewer, but i think there could be some improvements:

1. moving up and down like how you move forward, you can't really do that on the viewer, and the closest is zooming in and out, and that can get you so far. At least give us the ability to use arrow keys for it.

2. full screen, just have a button below that full screens on the viewer, allowing us to see way more of the model.

3D Viewing is now a thing.
So now we can preview the models before downloading, neat.

First comment on the revamped site, we're so back

I found this site while searching goat simulator models because I thought it was funny kind of random story.

PlayStation models is how began my journey on here! Something about them being so low-poly and satisfying to look at is what led me to start a brand new hobby in me ripping 3D models from that system back when ripping from the PS1 was very scarce.

As the years went by, I started getting more interested in ripping some other game assets besides PS1 models; stuff from the PlayStation 2 such as graphics and sounds, and ripping from very obscure games that barely anyone has ever heard of before. My favorite was Great Hits, a Japanese RPG on the PS1 by Enix from 1998 that literally no one knows at all. (The game has amazing sprites and 3D models btw.) Preserving the art of a very obscure game on here feels so good to me and to anybody who has heard of a said game.

I came up upon this website while looking for Yoshi Models.

We're glad to have you on the team, Jasper! You've been a great help to us.

I don't have much to say about my history with The Models Resource. I've been here since the beginning, provding some of the models that helped get this place started.

Achoo! Oh sorry.

I didn't know much about this website starting out. I had heard of it's name at a young age and may have even clicked on it but it was mainly passing glances.

This was until 2022 when I got interested into importing models from other games into Wii games such as Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Bros. Brawl and this was my big main source for them. And then I got interested in submitting for games I had played, and soon enough I got to branching off to the other sites and submitted sprites from numerous GameCube, Wii, Dreamcast, PS1 and PS2 games.

I haven't looked at models from a lot of games recently but if there's something that catches my attention I'd look into it. I've currently been submitting sprites from Dingo Pictures games by Midas and Phoenix Games on PS1 and PS2.

My first experience discovering The Spriters Resource was technically back around the early 2010s (I forgot the exact year) when I somehow stumbled across some Super Paper Mario sheets via Google Images (I forgot what exactly I was searching for, but it was most likely related to Super Paper Mario specifically as I was doing a playthrough of it, as well as being very obsessed with the game). I even remember printing out the Hammer Bro. sheet, cutting him out, and assembling him (I'm pretty sure I still have that very cutout somewhere, I'd probably have to check the archives in my basement). I had no idea the sheet I used was from The Spriters Resource, nor did I know that the pieces were called sprites.

So, fast forward to late 2017 (I think it was sometime in December, I remember the site had the Christmas theme). I was looking around Google Images for comics based on Paper Mario: Color Splash (like Super Paper Mario, I was doing a playthrough of it and was very obsessed with it as well (it's kinda funny how Paper Mario led me to discovering this here website, huh?)), and I found a sprite sheet with Iggy Koopa's sprites on it. So, I went to the website to view the sheet, then went to the game page and found even more sprites from Paper Mario: Color Splash. After that, I hung around the site to download sprites for editing and/or messing around with (later on, I discovered the other three resource sites and started messing around with models in Anim8or (which I no longer use) and later on Blender, and sounds in Audacity).

In 2018, I started to use sprites from The Spriters Resource in projects like sprite animations, and even started to learn how rip sprites myself (one of my first rips was my old Miscellaneous Screens sheet from the SEGA Saturn version of Sonic 3D Blast). Finally, on June 3, 2020, I made an account here. And later throughout 2020, my sprite ripping knowledge slowly started to increase, and I started ripping models, textures, and sounds. And yeah, the rest is pretty much history.
