Ended up making another lowpoly Samus with a mesh more suitable for N64 and painted in textures!
The model is rigged, ready to be animated and up for free download on Sketchup! If you do end up using it for something remember to mention me!
I used a CRT shader in Blender made by Mrmo Tarius for the turnaround!
