Mortal Kombat HD Remix with MUGEN

[Bleed]

It's looking much better, but stiff.

You'll need to play with the curves more, the motions are missing a sense of weight and fluidity.

Can you see what I'm saying, I know it's hard to notice some times.

Track the motion of his upper left hand for example, and notice how it moves almost straight from point A to point B.

You need to bend the animation curves to make that hand go in more of an ellipse. Maybe you need to get the upper arm moving right first, then his forearm, then his hand. Don't have too many key frames either, like 4 is good for a circle.

Think about the weight also, you know the bouncing ball exercise. A ball on the end of a string swinging back and forth. Whip motion, where the next part in a link will move a little later.

Send me the file if it's too much of a headache, I'll take a crack at it.

 

[badmouse]

Bleed, you really seeded up!

Only 3 animations and finish move left?

Throw
Get thrown
Get hit by Goro's command throw

Finish Moves :
Toasty
Toasty victim
Toasty effects
Decap victim

How many animations Sub-Zero is needed?

1. Idle
2. Walk
3. Win ( will use the mirror that Scorpion? )
4. Freeze
5. Slide
6. Fatality

Need some help here guys. Can you give this a look and tell me if it all looks accurate? That would help me out a bunch!

Characters:

All except Scorpion, Reptile, and Sub Zero are roughly in the 5% - 20% range of completion

Scorpion, Reptile, and Sub Zero are about 95%, 80% and 80% complete respectively.

Stages:
Courtyard - complete
Palace Gates - complete
Throne Room - complete
The Pit - complete
The Pit Bottom - complete
Warrior's Shrine - complete
Goro's Lair - was this one completed?

 

[Bleed]

Goro's Lair was done I think.

 

[la_luna]

IIRC, I think Goro's Lair had some problems with proportions, like skeletons and skull on the floor look way to big in relation to characters (even compared to the original game) I can't check it out on my phone right now but I think there's an issue. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. So maybe Goro's Lair could benefit from few touch-ups.

 

[Bleed]

 

[calactyte]

Everything is correct but Goro Lair is complete and Warrior Shrine is not...needs Kano, Sonya, Lui Kang and Goro Statues.

[calactyte]

LOLOL, awesome..

So Scorp is just about complete. I may hand over Goro to you in the end after all Bleed. I'm a novice with animation curves and it will probably take me a long time to get it correct.

 

[calactyte]

Ok Bleed,

I took a brief break from Goro to build you the Intro Bio Studio Environment. You can find it in Dropbox root folder. The file is called: BIO_STUDIO.max

Let me know if you have troubles opening it. You'll have to combine it with the characters/ Scorp+Sub and add materials/lighting. Will be cool as the last animation you do for Scorp to get his BIO with camera motion working in there. Probably very challenging but at least you don't need to build the environment now.

 

[arq_hawkin]

I'm riggin liu kang, so as soon as possible I'll be posting my update

 

[MrMos3s]

Keep up the good work fellas. I'm going to put work aside for a bit tonight and try and finish the touch-ups to Goro Lives and his battle plan portrait. I'll keep you posted.

 

[DjangoJustin]

Thanks a ton, Cal. That breakdown is extremely helpful.

And can't wait to see what MrMos and Arq_hawkin come up with!


Also, does anyone have any objections to me using Mortal Kombat HD: Kommunity Edition as a placeholder name for the game on the progress page? I realize, of course, that nothing is 100% final by any means, but I thought this would be a decent working title for the game.

Thoughts?

 

[Bleed]

Thanks cal, that'll come in handy.

I'll be working on the throw animation tonight.

The name is fine, makes sense.

 

[arq_hawkin]

I was wondering!! I'm using 3dmax and vray as renderer but I don't know what is using bleed or calactyte so maybe at the end all te characters will have different lighting, how can this be fixed? Maybe using the same 3dmax file for all the remaining characters, what you guys think?


The name sounds good to me too! Maybe at the end of the credits we can have a picture of all the contributors in a column like mortal kombat trilogy with this sort of black hole in the backgroun, I don't know if that's changing the game too much, I mean it because bleed or calactyte can be anyone because thats a name but a picture will be kind of better I guess!

 

[Bleed]

I'm using some basic lights and Mentalray.


Basic 3 light setup, Key, Fill, and Rim lights.

Also a Sky light at a very low setting, so nothing is totally dark.



Preview Render of the Throw, it'll be a while before I finish, this one needs a lot of work.

 

[DjangoJustin]

Ok, here's a link to a very much still-under-contruction version of the progress page. Give it a look and see what you guys think. Let me know if there's anything that needs changing or would rather not have up there or any like that.

[Bleed]

Oh damn, it looks way better than I expected!


52% is too high though, the characters require a lot more than stages, It's closer to 25% I think.

I like that list we've been posting with the different colored text. It's easy to see exactly what's going on.

 

[DjangoJustin]

@Bleed glad ya like the page. I'll fix the bar. Would you like to have that color coded sprite list added to the page?

 

[Bleed]

I could use the list, at least for characters that have animations started.

If they aren't ready for animation, or if the animations are finished, don't have a list.
