The Ultra 64, famously, has 4 kilobytes of texture memory, which is... not much. For reference, the 3dfx Voodoo, also from 1996, has 2 megabytes of texture memory; modern graphics cards have many times more than that. As a result, developers needed to be savvy with the way that they formatted their textures. This is mostly what this article is going to be about, through the actual mechanics of making a texture in The GIMP will also be covered just for completeness's sake. There should also be a portion dedicated to thinking about textures artistically toward the bottom.

Unfortunately, I'm not accepting phone, fax, or letter communications at this time. Use email, reach out on the forums, or a social media service as shown below:
To reach out via the Fediverse, send your attention to:
@lepidotos@bitbang.socialFor Discord, send me an email to get access. I am interested in Fluxer, Element, and plain old IRC (I used to use IRC plenty back in the day), but I haven't spent the time to use them long-term. For now I don't have a presence on either, but whichever the Ultra 64 modding and homebrew community moves to either en-masse if they do migrate, that will probably be the place I go too. The places I'm not at: Twitter, Facebook, Bluesky, Instagram, Snapchat, or Whatsapp. The place I'd love to be again: iSketch.

n64brew Wiki
The
frontier of all Ultra 64 knowledge, and an
in-dispensable tool in creating this
website. Offers a community-editable (and so potentially the
most up to date) repository of know-ledge
for programming the system however you decide to.
n64squid
A
fellow Ultra 64 fansite. Very comprehensive and updates regularly, so go give them a look!
Nintendo 64 Forever
A forum for the console that I've found
helpful in the past. Donations
Running this site isn't super cheap (actually, the hosting service is pretty good, they start at a dollar a month and let me have more than enough resources for this site, it's the .info tld registration that's the real killer), so helping out is always good.
For a little while, this is also going to be how you get access to the forums.
I would rather not do that and just have them be free to access, but it's a
spam reduction feature since I don't have time to full-time administrate and
moderate them. They will still be fully public and search engine indexable, though.
