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.

Adventures In XNA Posing Entry 111: Packed Edition

Welcome to another massive entry. As I said last week, this would be the other half of the massive chunk of new content so prepare to see quite abit of stuff. Anyhow, lets get to it.

Fashion Runway

 

 Got a new version of this stage. here's the difference between the original and the new one:

 

 

Version 1

 

Version 2

 

 

Much more lively this time around, definitely will add some much needed detail to future Pics.

 

 

 

Rock Stage

 

Continuing the theme of new stages, The same massive difference can be found with the Rock Stage:

 

Version 1

 

Version 2

 

Another massive step up in detail and once again, some much needed detail for future pics

 

 

Nexus (MKD)

 

 

Finally got this stage and it really looks amazing, Its as great as I remembered. I think my next series of comic style pictures will definitely involve this.

 

Ferra & Torr

Another one of Sticklove's excellent extractions, these two come together in a pack (unsurprisingly) once again, the detail is amazing. Comes with both feathers and blades for Ferra. Getting that pose is some work, but its worth it.

Kotal Kahn

As with the other model, fantastic quality exudes from it. Comes with three different versions that feature varying colors of Kotal's Markings. Another worth while addition

 

Mercedes CL 

 

One of many vehicles I came across and one of two that are cars. Love the functional doors and wheels, even the windows are functional. Wished the hood was also functional, but still a great model regardless.

Ferrari 550 GT

 

 

 

 

Another quality model and unexpectedly, from GTR2 (One of my favorite Racing Sims). As with the Mercedes, it features functional doors and wheels. Unlike the Mercedes, its hood is functional (thought its different in how it functions). Overall, very lovely model.

 

Chandge

 

 

Strangest name for a Helicopter I've seen, but its still a great model. It features functional doors, weapons that can be toggled on and off, functional rotors and even motion shaders for the Rotors that can also be toggled on. Overall, quality model and another excellent vehicle addition.

 

 

FA-22

 

 

Another great download and while its not as functional as I would've liked (with only the hatch and the pilot having any movement), its still pretty neat and its so detailed so I'm alright with it.

 

 

AH-1 Cobra

 

 

The second Helicopter acquired in this set, just as detailed and functional and includes the same detail. At this rate, My collection is gonna likely be as massive as my Character model collection.

 

Slender Plane (Slender)

 

 

Not exactly big on the Slender craze but when I saw this, I just downloaded it. Its unfortunately the least functional vehicle of the ones I have in this set but seeing as its modelled after the latest version of the C-130, I'm willing to disregard that. Looks too great to ignore.

Apache

 

 The third helicopter downloaded and one of my favorites. Once again, includes all the functional doors and rotors as well as the toggling of the motion effects. Definitely need to find the person that has done these models.

 

Alisa Mod

 

First model here from Dejavue and the first is an interesting take on Alisa having a Battle mode. While he's considering adding more weapons, I think this here works just fine. This is a meshmod using the body of EDi from Mass Effect and combining it with Alisa. Its a very neat combo and gives the sense that it is all business with a look that matches. A excellent meshmod and an idea that I hope to mimic in Tekken 7 once that comes to consoles.

Kitana Jingu (MKX)

 

My first model download from one of the MKX Costume packs, specifically the Samurai Pack. Once again, Sticklove has delivered on a quality model extraction. I again have found myself just dumbfounded at the detail. I eagerly await the others just to have the set and possibly, have some reenactments of some epic Samurai fights MK style.

 

 

So that's it for this week, a lot of content as promised (and barely delivered in time). Once again, I will be delivering craploads of pics next week as I'm going to be downloading a lot of new MKX models today. See you next week.
