For anyone wondering, this has nothing specific to Nintendo. Everyone in the industry has been using texture collections for a long time now (and sound FX CDs too). Same for scrolling UV and the likes. As for memory requirements, PSX had way more storage, but not more RAM! So most of the CD were for music and videos. Now for actually interesting bits not covered here: did you know a lot of the textures on N64 or PSX were actually greyscale? This way they could, for example, use the same noise pattern for grass and sand and rock by using only vertex color!

@SianaGearz Год назад

I'm not sure about N64 but vertex/polygon colour was more rarely used on Playstation due to performance concerns. But if you have a greyscale 4-bit texture which is optimal, you can just reload its palette, you can have a number of palettes including doing surprising things, and you can store a lot of 16-entry palettes. You can even alter or generate these palettes programmatically, you can rotate a piece of palette for colour cycling effects, you can do a lot of effect animation just with that. Indeed reusing the same sprites with different handcrafted palettes is a technique that goes way back, you'll see a lot of classic JRPGs where numerous enemies are recolours of each other and they just use the same exact data (sprite or texture+geometry) except the palette. Indeed these systems have no inherent native support for greyscale textures at all, they support 4- and 8-bit palette textures and you can just designate a palette to be grayscale, you can even adjust the values to even them out visually and make the texture appear better. Some palette effects were conceivable for the era but didn't come about until much later. I have seen demo implemented on SONY PSP which does planar bump reflection mapping just with palette, such as sea reflecting the sky. The normal map is encoded as an 8-bit palette texture, thus storing 256 representative normals that are reused all throughout the larger texture. The software only needs to perform 256 raycasts per frame into the environment map and store them in the palette. Of course ram and storage are an issue in earlier eras if you're trying to make an actual animated sea, since you can't just combine coordinate-animated textures at runtime, you have to have the animation precomputed and loaded in. I have also seen a grass waving in wind effect just with palette logic, which would have been a lot more era-appropriate on early 32-bit systems.

@Uradamus Год назад

The grayscale thing isn't entirely true, while some games went the route of vertex color tinted grayscale images for some parts, I don't think any game used that approach exclusively. Most stuff was instead palettized graphics, which was a way to compress things without actually having to give up on colors. On the PSX for example most textures were stored into a grid of tiles where each tile used I think 16 palette values (4 bits, allowing them to store 2 pixels of data per byte). And then as they were composing the frame, they would look up the color values from the palette assigned to that tile to decide which colors to use in the final render. In vram this usually looked like a bunch of thin rectangles made up of psychedelic looking horizontally squashed textures on one side (again because each pixel represented 2 neighboring pixels in the final texture), then the other half would have an area where they'd draw the frame to and a section with a bunch of color strips that were the various palettes the textures could reference. While each face was effectively limited to 16 colors each in this setup, those color choices were open to a much larger set of colors (I think a few million) and each face/texture could use a different arbitrary color palette.

@alfo2804 Год назад

@@SianaGearz Mario in Super Mario 64 is almost entirely vertex colour - the only textures on the model are his eyes, moustache, sideburns, buttons and emblem on the hat. Doom 64 also has a lot of greyscale textures that rely solely on the game's coloured lighting system to recieve any colour at all. So yeah, vertex colouring was definitely used on the N64.

Kaze emmanuaure is making a mod for mario 64, his mod changes a lot of the original rom, but he benchmarks it every now and again on real hardware. its actually impressive what he and his friends have managed to accomplish. that said one of the things that stuck out to me was that he removed a lot of the sound library that came on the rom, and which was used in other n64 titles, because the original unedited mario 64 didn't even fully utilize most of it, so it was just unnecesary data. thanks to limiting the sound library to just what he uses in his mod, he was able to more quickly reference the elements of the sound library he needed when he needed it. but he did a lot of other things besides this. for instance, he made a really nice skybox that isn't just a cube with a single image stretched over it, but rather has like, dimples, crunches, exapanded areas, to make it kinda look like a painting, if you don't look at it close enough. without relying on a single image, most of the sky box is comprised of polygons and textures. but that too is only one small thing in an otherwise epic mod. he re-wrote the render pipeline, changed how the rom was handling the consoles' memory, halved a lot of polygon counts, and minor optimizations across many aspects such as less overall 'bones' for the models. for instance a spider like enemy had double the amount of bones than necesary most of which went unused, so he just edit them out, then further optimized the enemy. oh, and he made it so enemies in the distance squish into the ground and inflate out of the ground instead of just fading in or out when mario nears their render distance. oh, and new music, new sound effects, new dialogue, new npcs, new maps, some new hats/mechanics.... typical mod stuff.

I mean the max storage of the N64 Cartridges at the time were 64MB (512 Mbit) Three games used it. Conker's Bad Fur Day, Resident Evil 2 and Pokémon Stadium 2. But theoretically it can go way above than 64MB, you could basically do a 1gb N64 Cartridge They didn't do it back then because it would be way too expensive to produce. PSX CDs = Slow load-times/ Approx. 700Mb of storage N64 Cartridges = Somewhat Instant load-times / Max size was 64MB of Storage Its a double edged sword to develop games for those systems back then.

The PSX mogged the N64, yeah the Nintendo had a much better GPU but the reality is that their lack of storage/cost of manufacturing physical game copies (as well as other horrible business practices) is what killed the platform for serious game development studios and more or less started the trend of AAA studios migrating away to other platforms and Nintendo having to rely on it's first party exclusives. It's interesting to see we've gotten to the kinda corporate stagnation in the console/AAA space where it is likely we'll either see another video game crash or third party jump in and try to shake things up again...
