Mortal Kombat HD Remix with MUGEN

You can separate them if you want, but I'm keeping it as one welded object.


The modifier stack looks like this: Skin has to be on top in the modifier stack, to override the pose. If Skin is below morpher, when you change a morph target, the entire body will morph back to the Rigging pose.
Morph targets should be created before skinning, but you can add them later, working backwards is Okay.

I'm using a separate set of UVs for the head and body, because I want the head to look better in a close up. It's two UV sets, not two separate meshes.

One UV set for the head will allow it to take up a larger area, so it can use more pixels giving it a higher texture resolution.

Started doing some polygon strip hair.

nice bleed, love how it looks

Started doing some polygon strip hair.

Very cool technique. The hair shader, if there is one applied will need a bit sharper highlights but the shape of the hair is perfect. Very nice work. Also cool that if this were realtime your hair would still translate nicely. Did you place each polystrip by hand?

Cool thanks for sharing that. I need to learn how to apply and use multiple UV sets to on object. I guess it is done with Object IDs.

Johnny Cage is looking good. Can't wait to see him animated.

 

[Bleed]

That's actually the first time I've done a full head of hair this way. You have to place almost every strip by hand, one by one going from the bottom up.

If you can get away with it, do a large area and mirror it.

I really like the results so far Bleed...! The model looks like a young and pimped Daniel Pesina...!

 

[Le@N]

Cage looks very close. Good work, Bleed.

 

[Bleed]

Thank you guys, we'll see how the rest of it comes out.

 

[InterestingMK]

Exactly which revision of MK1 will this game be based off of?

 

[DjangoJustin]

Goro looks much better now, Cal. Bravo, sir.

 

[arq_hawkin]

hello, I'm fixing a lot of things on liu kang, also I will polypaint it again, so as soon as possible I'll be posting something

 

[AEmilius Resurrection]

Wow, Goro's looking epic! =D And Cage... wouldn't look better if you kidnapped and 3d-scanned Pesina =P Lol.
Keep it up, guys.

 

[MrMos3s]

Cage is looking pretty great Bleed.

 

[calactyte]

Just wanted to give an update on Shang..happy to report that he is basically finished pending morphs. We are making great progress!

 

[Bleed]

Sweet, for Cage I got the base texture maps baked and I'm about to start rigging.

 

[CARZ]

Oh Cal... please share, I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we love to see your progress...!!!

 

[rrc1980]

Rigging Goro. Much faster now that I have a clue what I'm doing.
