Adventures In XNA Posing Entry 120: Change of things

Sorry for an extremely late and lackluster entry. I've simply just had my attention elsewhere on a number of many things and just forgot about this. Because I just can't keep up with the weekly schedule AND now that I have school, I've decided to abandon the sunday schedule and instead just post these when I remember to. I'll go back when I am able to and am not busy with a host of other things as  its been the case the last two months. So that's it for this empty entry, I'll post something when I actually remember  to. I'm also just gonna delete that page with the updates because if I can't even remember to keep up with this, chances are I'm not gonna remember its there. See you next time.

Adventures In XNA Posing Entry 119: MK Klassics (MK2)

Welcome to this week's entry. I continue the MK Klassic poses, this time using the MK2 Klassic skins from MKX. Here they are:







Thats it for this week. I've decided to just give up on the TTT2  bikini idea as I finally was able to attempt it only to just find myself frustrated at how I managed to do it in the first place. So the plans for next week:

- MK Klassic Poses featuring MK1 Klassic costumes
- New pics from a PS4 game I just started playing.

Also, I have posted a new blog specifically to update you on what changes or things might be added to upcoming entries here .

See you next time.

Adventures In XNA Posing Entry 118: Kinda back on track

Apologies for no posts Sunday or Monday. Got really busy and it left me with very little to do. Today, I have managed to fulfill one of the tasks I had in mind so without further ado, here are this week's pics:






Since I found the klassic costume for Quan Chi, I decided to go for recreating the MK4 Characther and promo screens featuring him and Shinnok. They aren't completly exact b ut they fell close enough.


Thats it for today. Hopefully for next week, I can do more. I aim to do the following:

-Klassic poses from MK2 (Both character bios AND select screen, possibly promos too if possible)

-Attempt the Custom Bikinis for the TTT2 characters

 See you next time.

Adventures In XNA Posing Entry 117: Picture perfect

Welcome to an evening entry. Rather late I know but thankfully, I've finally got the pictures working. Without further delay, Here's the pictures I originally were going to post yesterday:


MKX Cassie Cage (Primary)


Finally, I found Good quality models and this was one of the two I managed to get. As usual, the Armacorp group has given a quality extraction and this is only one of the two.


MKX Cassie Cage (Endurance)



And here's the second one. This was what I was looking for back when MK first came out. This is such a huge step up from the mobile model I had.


Just in this shot, you can see a very obvious difference in quality. Whether its the textures or the material, this recent one is far better to have.

Reptile (Primary)



This time, we have Reptile. If there was a model that really showed off the attention to detail, Reptile is it. Just what is seen with the bones he wears as armour is itself a great example. 
MKX

MKX Jacqui Briggs (Primary)



Another model I was glad to find. Easily one of my favorite new favorite characters so you can imagine the joy I felt when I discovered someone finally extracted the models. Comes with all the different versions of Metel arms she uses in her variations.


MKX Jacqui Briggs (Boot Camp)



By far, my favorite of her costumes. So once again, absolute joy for finding her. As before, comes with all of her metel arms for her variations.

Thats it for today. Pictures will be back and from now on, I'll set up what the upcoming ones will be so for next week expect the following:

-New colors of some car models I have.
-Recreations of classic MK Character screens'
-Four new Custom Bikinis for the Tekken Tag Tournament Characters (my original plan before I had temporary issues with my laptop)

See you next week

Adventures In XNA Posing Entry 116: Back again

Greetings all. Another late posting and really I wasn't intending on doing it again. However, I just decided to sit down and thoroughly think about it. I really enjoyed using this program every time I did open it up and for the last few weeks, I've keep my self so busy that I've gotten carried away and not really kept up with this. Now that things are finally settled down, I'm now back into doing more of these but unfortunately, no pics today as for whatever reason, I have been unable to add pictures to this like I was able to before. Not sure of its the browser or the slightly changed layout, its been aggravating but at least you guys now know whats going on. That's it for me today, I'll hopefully find a way to post pics here like I cold before. See you tomarrow.

Adventures in XNA Posing Entry 115: Another late one

At this point with all the other things that have kept me busy and the lack of views for this blog, I begin to wonder if there is any point in continuing this. I'll explain more later but just to make up for another terribly late one, here's some pictures:














That's is for this week. Honestly, I feel that this is not really doing anything for me. I've been more interested in Painting cars for certain series and making TV graphics then I have been in  trying to do these on a weekly basis to be honest. Why you might ask? Simple: Those people I'm painting cars for give me....for lack of a better word, instant acknowledgement. It disgusts me to even admit this because it basically comes off as me being a spoiled attention seeking brat, but that's basically it. I get some sort of response  every time I paint another person's car and show it, I get something from it. This, I hardly get...anything. Pulling a damn near all nighter for one of these just has lost much of its charm because that lack of response. I'm basically talking to myself and its annoying not to have anyone respond. So I'm basically wondering what's the point in keeping this going, I'm seriously considering just stopping this as I'm just sick of the silence and lack of anything. I feel like no one sees what I'm doing. So there, this and tomarrow's entries are possibly the last ones I do before I finally just quit and even delete this pointless blog.

Adventures In XNA Posing Entry 113: Back Online announcement

Hey all, just wanted to let you know that I've got the program working again. So thankfully, that means this will continue. Unfortunately, its not the 4th of July edition that I initially planned prior to this issue, but at least I got it going again. To make up for that just a bit, here's a preview of several new models I managed to get:




Anyhow, that's it for this unfortunately late edition. Hopefully, this is the last time I have this issue and can keep posting pictures. Hope you all hada happy and safe 4th Of July

Adventures In XNA Entry 112: Father's Day Edition

Welcome to today's entry, which is uncharacteristically way earlier then the last few weeks. Loads and loads of MKX content to get to so lets not waste time:



Scorpion Hanzo Hasashi 



You may recall seeing the Hanzo Hasashi form of Scorpion in a previous entry. That one was a model from the IOS version of the game whereas this one is from the PC/Console version of the game and extracted by Romero so the quality is much higher and has more bones on it. Though some of the bones are abit difficult to move (the fingers in particular), this is hands down the best Model to have and to make things even better, he has accessories which are not only can be toggled on ut are also available in a separate pack.

Scorpion Accessories Pack
 
 

 



So here they are, the accessories of Scorpion. These include the Ninjutsu Sword and the Skull, both of which can also be turned on the model, as well as the Minion and the Chain Spear. Overall, a very nice and functional set of thins to use. Definitely worth having.


Kitana Klassic


The first of two outfits downloaded last week. I already thought the MK9 classic costume was on point and then Netherrealm outdoes themselves with this one.

Kitana Tournament


The second of two outfits downloaded. I've waiting for this to have the same high quality treatment the other PC/Console models have had (not the bland standard of the IOS model) and finally I found it. Its easily one of my favorite Kitana costumes because of how it improves on her MK9 look and does more with it.

Mileena Klassic



Now for the first of two new costumes for Mileena. My same opinions of the Kitana costume apply here as well, mostly since its the exact same. This costume does show me though a pigment difference between Kitana and Mileena that I somehow didn't pick up on before so that was an interesting small detail to notice.

 
Mileena Vampiress

 
The second of the Mileena costumes downloaded. The look really suits Mileena not just for the obvious reasons but because only she cold pull off this outfit with her ruthless, seductive and savage personality.
 
 
 
 Takeda Takashi
 


The first of two Takeda outfits, beginning with his armor. Great details just about littered throughout this costume. My only complaint (which has more to do with Netherrealm) is the purple and sand-ish color. I think some better colors should have been used, like Black & gold as it would make a nice contrast to the boots. Still, great job.

 
Takashi Takeda Shirai Ryu
 
 

The second Takashi Takeda costume, his Shirai Ryu outfit. Felt this was a great Costume design wise and the quality is just as seller.


Tanya


One of two versions of  Tanya downloaded. This one as she appears via the recently released pack including her. While her costume is a dramatic change from her classic look (both in color combo and how much of her it covers), the bottoms are still similarly style after her MKD outfit. The detail is again, immense and hard to miss.

Tanya Beta



The second Tanya model, her model as she first appear in NPC form. Apart from the color hue and shortened hair (along with the missing white eyes), not all that much different from the one recently released. Does seem to show just how far along this was that she got turned into a playable character and offers some hope that the same could happen with Baraka and possibly Rain.


D'Vorah


The first of two D'Vorah outfits. This one is her default, including a very interesting cape. The detail just in it is insane and then the whole model itself is interesting.


D'Vorah Kytinn Queen



The second D'Vorah outfit, the Kytinn Queen. Once again, the amount of detail in this model is just insane. From the coat to the gaunlets on her arms. Both come with wins and ovipositors that can be toggled on or downloaded in a separate set.


And of course, this wouldn't be a father's day entry without showing off some of the fathers:








Thats it for today, thanks goes to sticklove for most of these models. Hope you appreciate what your dads have done for you not just today but every day. Happy Father's Day and see you next week.
