@SmashBrosFan137: The texture's blue channel needs to be flipped. You can do this with Texture Remix (link in my forum signature) by matching up the red and green channels and then checking the checkbox under the blue output channel.

Does anybody know how to convert the normal map textures from yellow to purple?

SmashBrosFan137 Jul 29, 2025 4:52 PM

Good news, everybody. I just ripped the Standard Bike, and the model will be reviewed.

JackMoSalah941 Apr 19, 2025 9:22 PM

I presume that any of these that were actually ripped from DX are exactly the same between the original and it, down to the texture resolution?

Doc von Schmeltwick Oct 18, 2024 11:14 PM

Dang, same here.

Oh well.

GOD DAMMIT I MISSED THE 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY

ExoDendrite May 30, 2024 8:46 PM

Now, it's May 13th, which is exactly 2 weeks before the game's 10 year anniversary
Edit: Now today is May 26th, which means.... 3 MORE DAYS UNTIL ITS 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!
Edit 2: May 28, 1 more day until MK8's 10 year anniversary?!.......... I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!
Edit 3: May 29. Today is the day to celebrate 10 years of this console game being released. HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY, MARIO KART 8!! Well, For Japan BUT for America it's the day after that

NolanSuperman May 13, 2024 11:32 PM *

And now, it'll be 28 days until this game turns 10 years old, like, man!! Time certainly does go by so fast!!

NolanSuperman May 2, 2024 1:17 AM

Now it's 2 months and 7 days until this game turns 10 years old, like dude, I'm getting old!!

NolanSuperman Mar 22, 2024 8:52 PM

In about 2 months and 19 days, this game turns 10 YEARS OLD. FUCK, I'm old!
Edit: Now it's April 18th, just a month and 11 days until its 10 year anniversary...
Edit 2: May 19th... 10 days... hooo boy...
Edit 3:

@Neema Nannoki? I don't know but I assume it like how Blender works with the rendered mode, where its not applied to an object but that's a good question, maybe on Textures Resource and ask if they know since they ripped the textured

GalPal101 Feb 9, 2024 12:25 PM

This may be a stupid question, but I wanted to ask how the skybox is applied if none of the track models contain it individually? Is it a (set of) separate model(s) applied variably, or something else? I'm not sure myself because the skybox textures are on TTR but I haven't seen word of a corresponding model anywhere.

Neema Nannoki? Jan 28, 2024 5:05 AM

@NolanSuperman if you only imported the .mtl file then it won't work, try importing the .obj file specifically and see if it works

GalPal101 Jan 20, 2024 5:18 PM

Also I wonder if there could be a .DAE file for each track model

NolanSuperman Jan 17, 2024 5:00 AM

Hey, I downloaded every single track model, and when I was trying to look at them, they don't show up (except for Toad Harbor without any textures showing up). Is there a way to view them?

NolanSuperman Jan 14, 2024 6:43 AM *

@PeachesCastle, okay, thank you very much for your help, I appreciate it, (btw I found a solution to the trees problem, the solution being to just open Baby Park and Big Blue because they had all I need)

Again, thank you and have a good day

GalPal101 Jan 1, 2024 8:27 PM

@GalPal101 sorry only seeing this now

Can't know for sure without access to the game files but either (a) the people ripping these models just forgot about Piranha Plant or (b) the game uses the exact same model for the track Piranha Plants and the item Potted Piranha Plant which would be possible but pretty surprising as I always thought items had a smaller poly count than track objects

PeachesCastle Dec 19, 2023 8:23 AM

@PeachesCastle, okay, thanks...

one more question before I go quiet, am I just dumb or is there no regular Piranha Plants in the track objects? I just find this a bit strange since the Sweet Sweet Canyon ones are there, maybe there's some reason for this idk, which is why I'm asking...

thanks and have a good day

GalPal101 Dec 15, 2023 9:11 AM *

Hey @GalPal101 welcome to the Videogames Resource. If you're looking for the tree models, chances are they're part of a course model, that's how Mario Kart 8 handles its tracks. You could also ask on the Discord in the #requests channel to see if someone with access to the source files could help you out

PeachesCastle Dec 2, 2023 8:18 PM

hello there, I'm kind of new around here and I was wondering if anyone knew where to find all the tree models from the game? I've tried looking everywhere but I can't find them, thanks in advance
