In this Part 3 video tutorial... I demonstrate the process of Rigging a Bone structure onto the 3D Robot Walker that we modeled in Part 2 of this Series in Blender. We then proceed to export the model to the .S64 format and preview the model in the CHORIZO previewer program.
I go over all the needed Blender settings in order to successfully export a Blender model into the .S64 file format. (Used for creating N64 display lists.)
Later videos in this series, we will go over the process of adding Textures and creating animation sequences for this model. We will then add the exported data into a ROM source code project which we will compile, and load onto an N64 Flash cartridge. The preview ROM allows us to trigger the various animations we created in Blender, using the N64 controller push buttons, or other runtime events if implemented within our code.
This is a New Tutorial Series I have created to go in-depth to demonstrate how to use a special software tools package for Blender called "Sausage64". This was created by user "Buu342" from the N64Brew Discord server .
These tools allow us to export models and animation sequences created within Blender, into a file format (.S64) which we can use to create N64 display lists. We are able to activate the animation sequences within our own N64 Homebrew game or demo, using various commands provided as part of a custom Library.
