Part of Nintendo's Mario Artist productivity apps designed for the 64DD, this rare title offers owners of the disk drive add-on full control over the world of polygons. Developed by Nichmen Graphics, the makers of the same 3D graphics tools that are used to create professional polygon graphics for N64 games, this interesting app comes across as a simplified version of 3D Studio. Using the Nintendo Mouse, N64 gamers who want to show off their creative side can create polygon models from scratch and do all kinds of neat things with them. You start off with simple shapes such as squares or cylinders, then you extrude, spline and splice until you arrive at the form you want. You can then texture them and arrange them or use the data in the other Mario Artist titles.
