Dear Reader:
NetherRealm reveals alternate costumes for Mortal Kombat 11's Shao Kahn, Raiden, Cetrion, and Erron Black
There are all sorts of clothing combinations and customization available in Mortal Kombat 11. Brendan George
Lead Character Artist at NetherRealm, has shared a dev blog that looks at some of those alternate costumes available in the game. Have a look at his blurb on Raiden below, and then hit the link for looks at Shao Kahn, Cetrion, and Erron Black.
It’s hard to choose my favorite look for Raiden as I think they all look great. However, this skin is a combination of a number of creative ideas, seized opportunities and amazing technology. While building characters for MK11, we always look for the opportunity to create retro looks from earlier MK games. This Raiden’s skin is his MK2 look which, however, is presented here with one of the many different color schemes available in MK11.
In addition to that, the skin showcases the silk material which is one of several new material shading models we added in MK11. Fans of NetherRealm games may notice that we have used the same facial talent for Raiden in MK11 as we did for injustice 2. However, to achieve higher fidelity we wanted for MK11, the person was rescanned and Raiden’s face was completely rebuilt.
