Got a good one for y'all today - I've recently been working on getting a fully custom Mario body + head model to function correctly in NSMBDS. I figured out how to do it and got Wario's model from SM64DS to function correctly within NSMBDS. This thread will explain completely on how to do that.

If there are any issues, you can send me a message on Discord at jpr#1548

Firstly, you're gonna need to have some things:
SM64DSe - since the only way to get the correct body armature for Mario/Luigi is by exporting the one(s) from 64DS. (This means you will need a SM64DS ROM too).
Blender 2.93 and the blender NNS plugins - these will assist with overall model editing & exporting to NITRO intermediate format.
Autodesk FBX converter - you must convert the exported DAEs from SM64DSe to FBX in order for them to correctly display in-game.
A way to view/edit XML files - I use Notepad++.
G3DCVTR - a converter for the NITRO intermediate format that outputs a NITRO binary file.
Newest version of NSMBe.
Any image editor to create your textures.
TGAConv - to convert your image files into NITRO TGA.

Its smart to create a project folder or somewhere where you can find everything - as well as backing up the model files from NSMBDS/NSMBDS ROM, your SM64DS ROM etc in case anything becomes corrupt during the process.
Also, putting G3DCVTR and its associated files into its own folder is also smart, as you can directly export the IMDs from Blender into there, edit the XMLs, save and then convert using G3DCVTR.

Getting the armature from SM64DS
1. Open your SM64DS ROM, and open any level - preferably the testing level.
2. Select any object and choose the option to "Replace model" (above the object list)
3. A new window will appear that displays the model etc. You now want to select the "Load" option on the top left of the window and choose the "Internal Model/Collision" option
4. Once the file tree window appears, you want to go to "ARCHIVE/arc0.narc/data/player" and select "mario_model.bmd" for Mario's body model or "luigi_model.bmd" for Luigi's body model.
5. The model should appear in the model preview. If it has appeared correctly, go to the "Export" option (at the top of the window) and select "Model" - choose a place to save the DAE.

Converting to FBX
1. Open up the Autodesk FBX converter and select the "Add..." option on the left of the the small window within the main window.
2. Find and choose the DAE file you just exported from SM64DSe.
3. Go to the right side of the small window, and select the "Convert" option (at the bottom-right of the window) - the program will create a FBX in the same directory as the DAE file. (unless you chose otherwise)

Importing the NNS plugins
1. Open Blender and go to "Edit->Preferences" (you may need to open a new project in order to do this - so just create a General project)
2. In the preferences window, go to "Add-ons" and then choose the "Install" option at the top-right of the window
3. Find where you put the blender plugins files and choose them to install
4. Once it has installed, you will need to go through the list of plugins and find "Export: Nitro Intermediate". Tick the box to enable it and close the window. (If it correctly installed, you should be able to find a Nitro Intermediate option in "File->Export").

Importing the armature
1. Open a General project in Blender (if not done so already) and delete the cube, light and camera from the workspace (highlight them by dragging and press the Delete key on your keyboard).
2. Import your FBX file of the 64DS armature via "File->Import->FBX"
3. Delete the mesh, but not the bones/nodes from the workspace - simply select the mesh and press Delete on your keyboard

Preparing & Importing your body model
a) -- Converting your textures
1. Find your copy of TGAConv and open it.
2. Open the texture for your body model.
3. Go to "Edit->Edit Palette"
4. Select "Resize palette" and choose 256 colors - then select "Generate palette" and then "Apply" (if your texture looks bad you need to make sure there aren't a lot of colors)
5. Export the texture via "File->Export"
(This process must be repeated for all body textures - there are 4 of them in the order of: Normal, Fire, Unused, Star - however you only need one of them for now)

b) -- Importing your model into Blender
1. Import your model into Blender into the same project as the 64DS armature - your model should not have bones etc, just the textured mesh
2. Rig your model to the armature - there are millions of tutorials out there, so make a quick Google search and find a good one. (when rigging, make sure the weight is either 0 or 1 - DS models do not support anything else)
3. Once you have rigged your model correctly, select the mesh and go to Material Properties on the bottom-right of the window
(it looks like a red sphere with a checker pattern)
4. Select one of the materials and select the "Create NNS Material" option
5. Under "NNS Material Options", click the dropdown next to the "Material Type" text - and choose the option "Textured + Normals"
6. Then you want to find the TGA image you created using TGAConv. Select the file button (looks like a file icon) and choose the TGA. (It may appear on the model in a weird way - this is fine)
7. Then in the NNS options, click on the Light0 button to enable correct in-game lighting
8. If all looks correct, then go to "Export->Nitro Intermediate"
9. On the right of the window, click on the Intermediate Model Data option and change the Magnification to 1.000, then export the IMD. (I recommend you export to the same folder as G3DCVTR)

Editing the IMD
1. Open the exported IMD in your text editor.
The most important parts you need to worry about are:
a) The model info should look like this:
<model_info pos_scale="0" scaling_rule="standard" vertex_style="direct" magnify="1.0" tool_start_frame="1" tex_matrix_mode="maya" compress_node="none" node_size="16 16" compress_material="off" material_size="1 1" output_texture="used" force_full_weight="on" use_primitive_strip="on"/>

The most important part is the node_size which should be 16.

b) The matrix array should look like this:
<matrix_array size="16"> <matrix index="0" mtx_weight="1" node_idx="0"/> <matrix index="1" mtx_weight="1" node_idx="1"/> <matrix index="2" mtx_weight="1" node_idx="2"/> <matrix index="3" mtx_weight="1" node_idx="3"/> <matrix index="4" mtx_weight="1" node_idx="4"/> <matrix index="5" mtx_weight="1" node_idx="5"/> <matrix index="6" mtx_weight="1" node_idx="6"/> <matrix index="7" mtx_weight="1" node_idx="7"/> <matrix index="8" mtx_weight="1" node_idx="8"/> <matrix index="9" mtx_weight="1" node_idx="9"/> <matrix index="10" mtx_weight="1" node_idx="10"/> <matrix index="11" mtx_weight="1" node_idx="11"/> <matrix index="12" mtx_weight="1" node_idx="12"/> <matrix index="13" mtx_weight="1" node_idx="13"/> <matrix index="14" mtx_weight="1" node_idx="14"/> <matrix index="15" mtx_weight="1" node_idx="15"/> </matrix_array>


c) and the node array (at the bottom of the file) should look like this:
<node_array size="16"> <node index="0" name="mario_all_root" kind="mesh" parent="-1" child="1" brother_next="-1" brother_prev="-1" draw_mtx="off" billboard="off" scale="1 1 1" rotate="0.000000 -0.000000 0.000000" translate="0.0 0.0 0.0" visibility="on" display_size="1" vertex_size="432" polygon_size="296" triangle_size="296"> <display index="0" material="0" polygon="0" priority="0"/> </node> <node index="1" name="skl_root" kind="chain" parent="0" child="2" brother_next="-1" brother_prev="-1" draw_mtx="off" billboard="off" scale="1 1 1" rotate="90.000003 -0.000000 90.000003" translate="-0.0 6.144287 -0.473877" visibility="on" display_size="0"/> <node index="2" name="leg_l1" kind="joint" parent="1" child="3" brother_next="5" brother_prev="-1" draw_mtx="off" billboard="off" scale="1 1 1" rotate="-0.000007 -179.999991 0.000000" translate="-1.35376 0.307129 3.537842" visibility="on" display_size="0"/> <node index="3" name="leg_l2" kind="joint" parent="2" child="4" brother_next="-1" brother_prev="-1" draw_mtx="off" billboard="off" scale="1 1 1" rotate="-179.999978 -0.000009 -0.000014" translate="2.091552 -0.0 0.0" visibility="on" display_size="0"/> <node index="4" name="ankle_l1" kind="joint" parent="3" child="-1" brother_next="-1" brother_prev="-1" draw_mtx="off" billboard="off" scale="1 1 1" rotate="0.000000 -0.000012 -90.000016" translate="2.008301 -0.0 1e-06" visibility="on" display_size="0"/> <node index="5" name="leg_r1" kind="joint" parent="1" child="6" brother_next="8" brother_prev="2" draw_mtx="off" billboard="off" scale="1 1 1" rotate="-0.000007 -179.999991 0.000000" translate="-1.35376 0.307128 -3.537597" visibility="on" display_size="0"/> <node index="6" name="leg_r2" kind="joint" parent="5" child="7" brother_next="-1" brother_prev="-1" draw_mtx="off" billboard="off" scale="1 1 1" rotate="-179.999978 -0.000009 -0.000014" translate="2.091308 0.0 0.0" visibility="on" display_size="0"/> <node index="7" name="ankle_r1" kind="joint" parent="6" child="-1" brother_next="-1" brother_prev="-1" draw_mtx="off" billboard="off" scale="1 1 1" rotate="0.000000 -0.000012 -90.000016" translate="2.008301 -0.0 1e-06" visibility="on" display_size="0"/> <node index="8" name="spin" kind="joint" parent="1" child="9" brother_next="-1" brother_prev="5" draw_mtx="off" billboard="off" scale="1 1 1" rotate="0.000000 -0.000000 0.000000" translate="0.972412 -0.0 -0.0" visibility="on" display_size="0"/> <node index="9" name="arm_l1" kind="joint" parent="8" child="10" brother_next="12" brother_prev="-1" draw_mtx="off" billboard="off" scale="1 1 1" rotate="179.999991 -89.999989 0.000000" translate="2.949951 -0.032715 4.125" visibility="on" display_size="0"/> <node index="10" name="arm_l2" kind="joint" parent="9" child="11" brother_next="-1" brother_prev="-1" draw_mtx="off" billboard="off" scale="1 1 1" rotate="-179.999978 -0.000009 0.000024" translate="2.747559 0.0 -1e-06" visibility="on" display_size="0"/> <node index="11" name="wrist_l1" kind="effector" parent="10" child="-1" brother_next="-1" brother_prev="-1" draw_mtx="off" billboard="off" scale="1 1 1" rotate="-0.000010 -0.000007 0.000018" translate="2.250001 0.0 1e-06" visibility="on" display_size="0"/> <node index="12" name="arm_r1" kind="joint" parent="8" child="13" brother_next="15" brother_prev="9" draw_mtx="off" billboard="off" scale="1 1 1" rotate="179.999991 89.999989 0.000000" translate="2.94995 -0.032715 -4.125" visibility="on" display_size="0"/> <node index="13" name="arm_r2" kind="joint" parent="12" child="14" brother_next="-1" brother_prev="-1" draw_mtx="off" billboard="off" scale="1 1 1" rotate="-179.999978 -0.000022 -0.000024" translate="2.747559 -0.0 0.0" visibility="on" display_size="0"/> <node index="14" name="wrist_r1" kind="effector" parent="13" child="-1" brother_next="-1" brother_prev="-1" draw_mtx="off" billboard="off" scale="1 1 1" rotate="-0.000010 -0.000004 -0.000018" translate="2.249999 -0.0 0.0" visibility="on" display_size="0"/> <node index="15" name="face_1" kind="effector" parent="8" child="-1" brother_next="-1" brother_prev="-1" draw_mtx="off" billboard="off" scale="1 1 1" rotate="0.000003 -0.000000 0.000003" translate="4.27661 -0.0 -0.0" visibility="on" display_size="0"/> </node_array>


(You don't need to change the scale, rotate or translate data, keep it the same as what was exported)

To create the correct data for the fire/unknown/star palettes, do the following:
a) Go to the tex_palette_array at the top of the file.
b) Change the "color_size" from 256 to 1024.
c) Copy the existing data within the array and paste it at the end of the data (
0000 0000 *copied data goes here* </tex_palette>

OR you can:
a) In blender replace the textures with TGAs of your fire, unused and star textures and export them to separate IMDs one by one.
b) Open the exported IMDs, and copy the data from the tex_palette array from each of the IMDs, and then paste them into the base IMD in order of (fire, unused, star). (make sure color size is 1024)

Once it looks correct, save the file.

(For the small body, you can simply copy the IMD and name it something else, otherwise resize in blender, export and copy the editing from the big body IMD).

Converting to NSBMD
1. Open a command window within the folder that contains your IMDs and g3dcvtr.exe/its files
2. Type in this command: "g3dcvtr *big_body_model*.imd *small_body_model*.imd -s -o *output*.nsbmd"

Replacing the in-game model **MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP THE ORIGINAL FILES**
1. Open your NSMBDS ROM with NSMBe, then go to the "ROM File Browser" tab
2. Go into "root/player" and select "mario_model_LZ.bin" for Mario's body model or "luigi_model_LZ.bin" for Luigi's body model.
3. Replace the file with your NSBMD, and then Compress the file

Test the model out in-game - if it works, awesome!

If the body's textures are broken - then you need to open the body model in NSMBe, export all the textures using "Export all textures + palettes", edit the image in your editor and then reimport using "Import all textures + palettes" and then "Save all".

If it works, then lets move onto the player head & cap!

With the head, follow the exporting process for the body, import it the same way, rig it the same way, convert the textures same way etc

If you don't want the eyes to animate, then you can simply export and convert to NSBMD the same way as the body, and it should work fine. Just replace the:
- head_cap_LZ.bin file for head and cap
- head_nocap_LZ.bin file for head without the cap
- deadhead_LZ file for deadhead
- deadhead_n_LZ file for deadhead w/o cap (this is never used so you don't need to replace it)

Otherwise:
**You need to make sure there are different polygons for the eyes and for the remaining part of the head for your head model or else it will not work.**

Editing in Blender
1. Go to the Material Properties and make sure there are 2 materials (if not press the + button and create 2 NNS materials): the first one for the eyes, second one for the rest of the head - import one of your eye TGAs into the eye material and the head TGA into the head material

Then go ahead and export to IMD.

Editing the IMD
1. In the tex_image_array, it should look like this:

In order to get the 3 other sets of data for the eye textures, simply export 3 more separate heads from blender with the following type of textures:

First one should be eye(s) wide open
Second one should be eye(s) half open
Third one should be eye(s) closed
Fourth is death eye(s), but the game doesn't seem to use this as it already has the deadhead, so you can create dead eyes or copy the data from one of the other eyes.

The tex_palette and material arrays must also look like this:

**THE ONLY NAMES THAT MUST BE THE SAME ARE THE "mario_eye.*num*" NAMES**

For the head to have the correct palette, it follows the same process as the body, except color_size should be 512, head texture should have 256 colors when creating the texture with TGAConv.

Once it looks correct, save, export etc (redo if you want a proper small head) and import into the game

If all looks correct ingame, congrats, you made your first custom Mario/Luigi model!

Again, any issues and you can contact me on Discord at jpr#1548 - thanks for reading and enjoy!

And here's the Wario mod!
