When talking about straight character design, can you explain to me how photos of real-life people (as the characters in MK have been in the past) are not realistic? And you\'re right, I obviously know nothing about modeling, no one on this site does but you. Clearly nobody who knows anything about the industry or participates in it looks at these pages, everyone who looks at these sites are rednecks, \"brothers\" spouting sterotypical comebacks to the redneck\'s rantings, people pretending to know what they\'re talking about, and \"skurge\".

Little self-righteous, aren\'t you? How do you know that the poster isn\'t a \"brother?\" A little smug in your righteousness, if you ask me.

And anyone who says that Mortal Kombat video game characters are \"realistic\" needs their head and their judgment checked. You obviously don\'t know anything about \"real life\" nor modeling.

That\'s great. Some monkey ass 12 year old retard on his mommy\'s computer puts a post up obviously to get a negative reaction, and some other 12 year old (white) idiot replies as if he is a person of color who\'s offended, but decides to stir up the pot some with some stereotypical gangsta bullshit thats almost as offensive as the original post. What a bunch of fuckin losers.

As a side note, most of the Mortal Kombat models were pretty realistic, what with being real-life footage and all.

The models in Q3 aren\'t meant to be realistic. It is supposed to be, and essentially is, a mortal combat from first person.

Are any of the Mortal combat people that realistic looking? Not really.

These characters are great for what they are after. Of course if they were doing some super realistic thing like TF2 and had huge guys and monks who use railguns, then I\'d concur that that shit doesn\'t fit.

#49 I\'m not sure it would actually be that much out of context in q3a. In fact if ya look at visor he sorta looks like he\'s wearing hockey equipment. Well when q3a comes out ill be sure and talk to EvilBastard , the premiere q2 modeler, about all of this. go to http://www.planetquake.com/q2pmp/hostings/evilb/ to check out his work. cant wait to see what he can do with all those polys in q3!!

I\'d like the hockey player idea, though I definitely wouldn\'t make him an \"official\" character (that\'s a little too out of context, even for Q3A). Maybe he could have a hockey stick on his back or in one hand; his taunt would, of course, involve hoisting up the hockey stick like he\'d just made a goal.

Q3A, at least in its basic form, probably won\'t see any realistic models. They\'d just contrast too much with the existing theme. I wouldn\'t be surprised if we get an \"Action Quake 3\" or some such mod which uses relatively realistic proportions, however.

#47, don\'t worry. As soon as Q3:A comes out and I learn how to model and skin, I\'ll be releasing the much anticipated \"Steve Gibson Model Pack\". And, of course, each skin will be based off of different Steve Gibson modeling photos. \"L33t!\"

I agree with you there. I wanna see some more realistic models/skins. Don\'t get me wrong, the Q3:A models I\'ve seen so far are great, but I\'m starting to get sick of the \"musclepopping, 7-foot-tall, 300-pounder\" school of character design.

The worst example of this I ever saw was Kingpin, where every male character looked like John Goodman on \'roids.

Would anyone else find that a really mean looking one-toothed old time hockey player who skates around everywhere would be really cool ?! And he wouldnt have a hockey stick of course. I think that the character animation could look very very cool! Comments?

What\'s up with those ammo packs in Q3! I thought they were ugly and were only place holders! Oooohhh now they added shingy stuff on it and wahlah u got ur official ammo packs! It\'s still blockish and borinng, even q2 has diff ammo models for diff weaps. Now all ammo packs are just rectangular, what\'s up with that?

I hope you people try and avoid picking the Xaero model to use online... he\'s mine, I tell you! :) Seriously, the design is very interesting; it\'s a cyborg Buddhist priest, with guns. Now you really CAN say that deathmatching is a Zen art (hey, you knew that joke was coming eventually).

My question is, what\'s his taunt animation? Something tells me that it will look like meditation or prayer...

#24: I agree about the models. Im sick of those 6\'10 300 pound musclehead characters. Look at the heights and weights on these characters, its ridiculous! I dont mean send in a bunch of geeky characters that run like sissies, just more realistic ones.
