Thank you, Smoke, you totally made my day with that guy's deviantart gallery!!!!!
Bleed's stuff is definitely a million times better, but that other guy's stuff made me grin from ear to ear. I couldn't have described it better myself, even from behind his mask Sub-Zero looks like he's on the prowl for some hot man action. Clearly the guy who made all that stuff is totally gay, which is fine, I mean I think a gay version of MK would be spectacular, but it doesn't exactly fit what you guys are trying to do here. I really enjoyed looking at his gallery of hot gayness, though.
I don't want to sideline quarterback anybody because Lord knows I don't have an artistic bone in my body, but do you think that for the Courtyard Buddha statue we could get facial features that more accurately resemble Gautama? I know you guys want to keep it as close to the original as possible, but when the features are cleaned up, it doesn't really look like Buddha at all, who is generally portrayed with delicate features.
Since MK has an Asian theme, I looked up Thai depictions of Buddha, and they typically look like this:

Here's some progress I have with BuddhaNow it's closer to what we need to have
I'm still waiting, badmouse, what about these props? If you don't want to share or anything, just tell me, and i'll create them myself
I'm liking this buddha statue the only difference now is the one in the game appears to be tilting its head forwards\down more... and the "collar" seem to be popped up a bit more.

Ok, I'm going to go ahead and take some creative liberty here, and say that I imagine the background was supposed to be red velvet. So that's what I've used as a texture in the updated version here.
Looks good, if I got the screen like that I wouldn't send it back. I still think metal flake like what I did looks a bit more like the original. Not only is it metal flake but it also kind of looks like blood which goes very well with MK. But what your did looks good too and is acceptable and looks a lot better than before.

I agree with pretty much everything you said, except for the framing. I like having the framing be 16:9 aspect ratiosince it tells the player immediately that this is MK HD. It's familiar yet we're using the frame to immediately point out that this version is 16:9 aspect instead of the original 4:3.
I've updated the image with your comments corrected.
If you guys are still going for a "remake", then you should probably stick to the original aspect ratio. Scorpion's teleport is gonna function really differently if the fighting area is longer than before.
That mock-up (or whatever) smoke.tetsu posted is beautiful, BTW. Keep the good shit coming!

That just made me think of scorpion sitting there with an annoyed look holding an MK briefcase bursting at the seams with ninja weapons and thinking "They better not make me travel too far!" XD
Yeah, his stuff came off to me more like a Parody than a serious attempt at an HD remake like is done here. This is especially apparent in pic's like the split punch to Liu Kang. The poses looked more like if you would cut out the character in paper and hinge the joints kind of like Monty Python.. (kind of like monty python crossed with the full monty
). Especially with the body paint costumes and static or exaggerated facial expressions like Johnny Cage has a douchey smile all the time. I thought it was a good example of an HD remake gone wrong like the execution is there and technically yes it's HD... but stylistically it's all wrong in a cringe worthy way. Not that parody is bad per say but yeah... definitely not what is being aimed for here.
I did like his Mileena, by the way although she looked rather young.
Also all the other stuff being made here is also a lot truer to the original.
BTW I earlier said the scorpion animation bleed made looked kind of rubber limbed but I have to admit I was being a little unfair. Some of the animations in the original arcade version like one of this combo kicks looked rubber limbed to me at the arcade as well.

I think a nice feature would be able to add the music from the classic ports of the game (Genesis, Snes, ect) if that option is doable in Mugen.
you can overwrite the arcade mp3 with othe file
. but loop and ending sound (of the round) will be in embeed in the engine
Hi smoke.tetsu,
I like the velvet look. The speckled look does technically look more like the original, but as you noted, I think those speckles are actually due to bad dithering in the gradient rather than any hint of texture.

Everything has Ambient Occlusion baked on the texture maps. The render it self doesn't have it on, it's a default Mental Ray render with 3 lights.
I'll keep messing with the cloth on this, It still looks bad to me.
What about making the costume look like it's been used. You know scratches, faded, dirt stains. He looks too much like a toy IMO all clean like that.

I think he is missing high light from the back.
maybe this pics can help to see the reaction of the light.
