Super Smash Bros. Melee Texture Modding

While I was working as a Graduate Residential Fellow, I started playing melee. During covid, I decided to design some custom Pikachu textures and effects for fun.

Texture Files

Working with the melee textures is closer to pixel art than a traditional 3D texturing workflow. The weird .png image stretching also limits where details can be placed. For example, the back stripes had to be drawn very squished because of how they are stretched on the model.

This texture mod was only possible, using tools already developed by the Melee community.
