Mortal Kombat HD Remix with MUGEN

Cannot wait hahaha I am holding my baby with one hand as a write lol... back on topic, that skeleton should have some flesh left, the way I see it, the legs of the original skeleton seem to have some flesh on them and it's logic, otherwise the skeleton would fall in pieces right?

I wonder what Calactyte is doing... *o*

Sweet, so now I just need the skull cut out of every frame, anybody want to do that? It's a little boring, but not too complicated.

I'm going to see if I can make some realistic fire in 3d max now, and leave the skeleton modeling for tomorrow.
 
K I'll leave them in drop box.

Don't change the image size, just separate the body and skull to separate files.

No problem, I will wait for the files.

BTW, when Scorpion open his mouth, the skull jaw hide inside the black neck cloth.
Maybe will looks better if it stay over the cloth.
 
That's it, absolutely perfect. I would've cut his skull but I see badmouse already took the job.
If you need any boring Photoshop work done in the future like cutting etc. I'll be up for it.
 
I can imagine playing this game and don't giving a f.u.c.k if I win or lose, just looking at every single animation and detail. Everything so far have been done with such a huge love that it becomes really hard to ignore the power behind this project... playing it should feel like doing heroine!
 
Nailed it Bleed. As for me being quiet...unfortunately I wont get much done. I am on vacation now which means Im home with my wife and baby boy..also means I don't have time for much else. At work I can shut my office door and just work on this without interruption. Right now on vacation I need to disconnect a bit recharge my batteries, plus I want to spend as much time with my son as possible.

Jaw is exposed, and mouth opens at the end.
The raw frames are in drop box.

That's great mean, enjoy that time with your family.


la_luna, you could split the work with Badmouse. There are quite a few images to deal with, you can grab a bunch, and vice versa.
 
I've been thinking, and the ending of Scorpion in which his face can be seeing is probably the most polemic topic this project will face... Scorpion is Japanese in the story, but was portrayed by Daniel Pesina and Daniel's face is already known as the original Cage, having Cage dressed as Scorpion in that ending would look way too crazy in my opinion. What have you guys thought about it?

I have a few ideas:

1. Since the image and story implies he is in hell, the face could have some burning marks and be darkened a little bit, also it could be distorted with a "heat" effect or have a flame in front. This idea is all about distorting and hidding the face as much as possible to keep his real face a mystery.

2. Model a Swatzenegger-like face just for that picture and make it sort of close to what one can see in the pic, maybe giving it some tiny japanese look to it. Something like mixing Swatzenegger with Daniel Pesina with a touch of asian factions.

3. Get inspiration from some actor, like the one from the original MK movie and MK Conquest series, Chris Casamassa... that would be the closest we could get from an "official" head for Scorpion... or maybe the Scorpion from Tacharroen's MK shorts.

4. Create a "Momified" Daniel Pesina face, taking advantage of the story, deviating a bit from the faithfulness of the project with the porpouse of making something nice... here are some examples of what I mean by this:

This is all I can come up with, the other option I can think of... putting Daniel's face in it, but I really hate this idea because is not the way I perceived the ending of MK when I was young. Things like Shang Tsung being portrayed by the same actor that did Liu Kang or Scorpion, Reptile, Sub-Zero and Cage being all Daniel Pesina was not what I was seeing when I first played MK1. That low budget stuff should have nothing to do with this HD remake in my opinion.
 
I made about a :25 second long video to get an idea down in front of me. It took about two hours but I wanted to give you guys an idea of what I'd like to do when the project nears completion (whenever that may be). I'll post it after it's done rendering if you guys would like to see it.
