7-Hand & Rahjin. Beta versions of a couple of characters based off my friends' ideas. Testing some fx work...a lot of skoping...I accidently loaded Rahjin w/ a big char.'s .kf, now I can only use big char .kf's. If someone could help me with this...

Also...I origionally wanted 7-hands fx arm to emit blk smoke...however shades of blk are trsnp. while shades of grey are white...any ideas? Maybe changing the spectral color...

Hey is that "7 hands" guy a kittbash of an Afghan Ant skin?
I can't help it that I look so good baby! I'm just a love machine!

Looks like my the Captain's face.

There is a Human Torch Black mesh at FX Force. The "fire" is black, so you could paint a cloud on the alpha channel and then use a semi-transparent fill to make it smokey. I know too that there are "fire" files with different effects posted someplace. I asked for them and don't remember where they are, but the request would be in the archives.

I used the face of the Captain, b/c I haven't skinned the face yet. I had to read up to figure out what exactly a kittbash was. I "skoped" (I think is the term) the hair and the collar from the Capt. mesh. I also used the male_basic wireframe to reference where the coat lines up from the skin to the mesh. So everything other than the face(which I'm changing) I skinned myself. Is this considered kittbashing?

Once the face is original, you are good.
But using parts of other peoples skins is frowned on, (unless it's a base skin).

If you're ever using something as a placeholder, like the Captain face, best to mention that in the preview.

Can't wait to see what it looks like without the placeholder--it looks amazing. I love 7-Hand's arm!

Here's an update after finding a way to make the black fx(thanks daglob) and skinning the face.

AfghanAnt

I honestly like the blue energy arm a little better and for the record, I didnt mind you using my face as long as you credit me. :)

Hanzo Hattori

word is bond. I liked the blue flame arm better also, but when he described the char. he said black aura. I tried to add a bit of blue to make it more dynamic...I dunno, a couple of changes and he'll be finished. Then I can touch up Rahjin.

Gremlin

If you made the black flames smaller or more translucent it would work better. Now you can't see all the cool detail on the arm.

I think I'm happy with this here....I did some minor re-meshing(I guess?) in Maya, afterwards I couldn't attach .kfs anymore, so no dynamic stances...lessened the smoke/fire to reveal the arm more. Overall I'm surprised, I thought Rahjin would be the fun one...

Gremlin

That looks really cool, although I'm a little iffy on the scarf-mask. But the arm looks much better now.
