Need some help for my movie

Wardeath · 08-10-2007, 12:17 AM

I am making a warcraft machinima called Warkraft Kombat, a pretty much blatant rip-off of the Mortal Kombat movie from 1995, and have been making good progress, but I am at the part where Johnny Cage is to fight Goro, and I cannot get Goro right. Goro has 4 arms, the best I can do is in the picture below. I have a majority of the characters done, but I have no idea how to get the extra set of arms on Goro. If anybody could offer some help on this, it'd be much appreciated. (Note, my Goro is still in work, I am going to change the colors and everything to better match the flesh tones of the normal Goro)

I dont know Mortal Kombat, but if youre using wow model viewer as it seems, try find an npc with 4 arms. Im sure theres one

I've been looking, haven't seen one, but I think I might've found a way though.

Try creating 2 layers, on the first layer place the Fraps'd orc, then copy that clip paste it onto the 2nd layer. Then mask out all of the body on the 2nd video, and leave the arms. Then you can try moving them into position, i guess this is a ghetto way but with some effort i think it would turn out pretty decent.

Try that out, but im sure theres a better way somewhere if you keep looking around.

Ah, good idea. Much thanks m8

No problem, also if you have Adobe After Effects, and need more mobility out of the orc with 4 arms you can probably mask out arms then Motion track them to a point on the side of the orcs body which will look perfect since the program keys them on
