W.I.P Mugen stages.

By Saiyajin Mui. 28/07/09, 10:57 am

I make stages for the fighting engine Mugen. I tend to specialize in a couple of aspects.

Here's what I'm working on at the moment.

Spoiler:
	Name: Christchurch Cathedral HDR Source: About 5 photos Animated: No Progress: 95% What's needed: Background Music Author's Note: This.... Was a pain in the posterior to pull off. I literally hung around at the Cathedral for 30 minutes so I could take a still shot.

Spoiler:
	Name: Masquerade Ball Source: Bioshock Animated: Yes Progress: 98% What's Needed: Fine tuning Author's Note: I really like how this one's turning out.

Spoiler:
	Name:Siren Alley - Shrine to Jack Source: Bioshock 2 Animated: No Progress: 95% What's Needed: Background Music Author's Note: See comment on 'Would You Kindly?'

Spoiler:
	Name: Fontaine Futuristics Source: Bioshock 2 Animated: Yes Progress: 95% What's Needed: Background Music Author's Note: Scaling was a pain in this one too, but I think I have it right.

Feedback Appreciated.

Damn dude you've got some skills.
I used to design characters in MUGEN, but then i got a mac and my PC died so it's sorta like blah bugger that then lol

I have no patience for character making. Trust me, I've tried. I need to work on some more Chch based stages. I should give night photography a try.

It's diffcult, I was more into it for the spriting side o' things lol
Chch stages would be awesome, i can just see it now. you gotta make a stage on the multi way crossing near the chalice and that giant wheat statue and KFC if you know which one i mean

By Saiyajin Mui. 02/08/09, 09:07 pm

Yeah. I try not to animate a number of my RL stages as animations can't be as consistant. I did do a Cathedral Square one, as well as one inside the Cathedral. I did an underpass somewhere and attempted a Riccarton Mall one.

Apparently I can't take photos of the mall.

Wow that's impressive.
As for the four way crossing one, i think it'd be really awesome to have it like the characters are fighting in the middle of the road with the traffic waiting to go. but a shot like that would be uber hard to shoot....

By Saiyajin Mui. 02/08/09, 09:42 pm

Yeah. Also it'll be inconsistant as traffic would be held up for a funking long time due to the stage not being animated.

So you had something like this in mind, but with traffic?

Also for references, here's the Chch Cathedral Interior stage.

Both of those are like sooooo cool.
You have a knack for photography m'man!

It's still pretty amateurist work though. I can spend a day in Chch, take about 400+ photos and only use about 4 of them.

The top was a game rip FYI.

New WIP.

The Oxford Terrace Baptist Church. I sort of took that photo in a rush as we were just about to leave when the photo was taken.

I did a run through with Photoshop and got the results as shown below:

Progress: 25%
What needs to be done: Conversion and adding BGM.

If there's anyone who was at last night's ball and plays Mugen, feel free to PM me. I wouldn't mind getting a stage tester who's actually from New Zealand.

Feedback Appreciated.

wow, love them.
especially Pit and Rooftop.
great work.

although fighting in Cathedral Square would be fun for the lulz. :3

A friend and i once started a semi-pre coreographed fight on the grassy bit near the cathedral, it was pretty funny, we got some weird looks lol
