...but to answer your question, yeah, probably, but it would take an ungodly amount of work, not to mention incredible texture hacking skill, to get it to look right.

like leafbarrett said, i think it would be too much work though and better to wait for a model converter, idk what lbp uses for models but currently you could be making a dae for him as you wait for it, and btw i don't think this shouldv'e been its own thread or if so then wrong section

lol ya this shouldnt be a thread, and i think squirtle would work better

Vertex hacking is sort of like changing single letters in a book; you can't really write a whole new book changing one letter at a time.

He's a character on the PS3 title LittleBigPlanet.

I'd say it probably won't work but that's my opinion.

Well, you can, but it would take such an inordinate amount of effort and time that it wouldn't be worth it, and the finished product would almost surely look sloppy.

Definitely not MDL0. That's Nintendo's own format. He'd have to make a whole new model from scratch, and given sackboys derpy physique, it would probably be quite weird to get it right.

Is there a 'remove shell' for squirtle?
If so its just a Texture Hack.

You could remove with the polygon deleter, I think.

Have you been reading my mind? I was literally thinking about vertexing Mario Into Sackboy just a couple minuites ago! Lol!! Texture should be easy since im going to use a CelShading for his clothes. I dont think i should keep the mustache, should i?

I think Sackboy should be over Lucas. It fits him way more.
