I had this video ready back in 2024 but I had trouble uploading it for some reason. I probably forgot to publish this here for some reason.
So when Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door was getting a remake and I saw some of the Crystal Stars there, I remembered I had designed about thirteen other Crystal Stars for a fanfic I wrote fifteen years ago, and seeing the remake inspired me to try to make some kind of Paper Mario animation. I hadn't really gotten far in it, just at the Crystal Stars and a few environment parts that left me on a roadblock and made me work on other things. But at least I can show the work on the Crystal Stars I made.
I was originally going to do just the remake designs of the stars, but I went a step further and did the original Crystal Star designs from the GameCube version and made a little switch in Geometry Nodes to swap to either one.
Maybe I'll eventually finish the animation I wanted to work on, but it's also hard to work on it when you got many other ideas to boot, but that's really on me.
That said, enjoy these stars!
