Hi all! I figured I would come here and make an update regarding the post I made just a few days ago about the "Mario Kart Bowser's Challenge" models being leaked.
Well, I was correct! Sort of..
The models actually come from the "Epic Universe Preview Center" app. Just on how they were dumped from the app is still up in the air but plenty more was uncovered from the app itself.
So further examination shows that these models are without a doubt the official rigs that Nintendo uses (or at least VERY close to that) I personally think that these models are the same as the ones used on the actual Mario Kart ride. Yoshi, for instance, has shape keys for all eyelid expressions.
Another cool find is there is an EXTREMELY high poly ATV model in the files. It seems to be the exact render model seen in renders from Mario Kart 8.
I can't share the link to the files because of rule 11, I'm sorry :( You're welcome to go look because it is out there.
