Repainted Kenshi MKX [xps download] by judgemk on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

kenshi is officially part of the model lineup! i've reworked his original mkx default (a 1-day outfit repaint, though his face was done earlier) with new surface textures and a revised color palette, as well as some tweaks to his face and skin tone to more closely resemble takeda. his outfit is intended to have a bit more of a rough and handmade feeling rather than the sleek sci-fi look of the original. his headband and sword (sento) are hidden and optional. please enjoy!

UPDATE 12/25: model now includes the easy face posing structure for better expressions with MKX faces! this has a brand new set of posing points including: forehead, eyebrows, cheeks upper 1/upper 2/lower, lip upper/lower left/right, mouth corners left/right, and a control point for both mouth corners
additionally, the model’s posing and rigging is updated and improved - his cloth coat flaps are now attached to the pelvis and he bends at the waist correctly

also, for clarification: this is NOT an identical upgrade to the original kenshi model, and you should not use this in place of it. this is a different artistic style version of kenshi & it is not meant to follow the exact mkx aesthetic. if you are looking for an in-game equivalent to kenshi, find it at the following link: www.deviantart.com/romero1718/… romero put a lot of work into his ports of the models from mkx, and i want to make it very clear that he deserves full credit for his work - so download that version of kenshi if you want the game-accurate one

here's some info on his changes, if you'd like:
-skin tone reworked for a healthier look, and his eyes no longer glow. beard is a bit more grey. his hair is the same
-outfit textures edited for different surface details and materials. his coat and red cloth areas have a corduroy look, and the marble pattern on his chestpiece is added to the armored pieces. the straps and boots are leather, and the sleeves and pants are soft thick fabric. download to take a closer look - a lot of work went into kenshi's textures!
-mouth/eyes adjusted the same way as all other models
-headband (repainted like the rest) and sento (edited to match his new coat color) are optional items and can be added back in
-he's still in his default t-pose, like all the rest of the mkx models
detailed changelog is available in the readme within the download, so is his preview pose

give credit if you use him, and have fun. send me anything you make, i'd love to see!

NOTE: a version of his model that is just the head is packed within the download (called justthehead.mesh) that can be rigged onto new outfits. it has been de-boned of the body armature, but the face and hair bones are still in place, of course. this is for any 3d modelers who want to play kombat dress up, which i myself do way too often. enjoy.
