    First off, let me start by saying if you're a die-hard Killer Instinct fan and you want a new Killer Instinct game... this will only tease you more than you can probably handle. This is a "fan-made" 3D Demo Reel video by Ryan Markley that features a "rebooted" version of Orchid. She is shown three times in this video at 0:08, 0:31 and 1:41 and Wow, does she look amazing. Note that the T-Rex shown after the glimpse of Orchid is NOT supposed to be Riptor from Killer Instinct. View video notes below:
    Shot03, Orchid close up: All aspects. A reboot of a character from the video game "Killer Instinct". Base mesh and morph targets/blend shapes modeled in Maya, sculpting and texturing done in ZBrush. Rigged in Maya using AdvancedSkeleton. Hair created with Maya hair. Shaded, lit and passes rendered through mental ray for Maya, compositing in NukeX.

    Shot 06, quick cut Orchid turnaround: All aspects. A reboot of a character from the video game "Killer Instinct". Base mesh and morph targets/blend shapes modeled in Maya, sculpting and texturing done in ZBrush. Rigged in Maya using AdvancedSkeleton. Hair created with Maya hair. Shaded, lit and passes rendered through mental ray for Maya, compositing in NukeX.

    Shot 24/25, Orchid turnaround: All aspects. A reboot of a character from the video game "Killer Instinct". Base mesh and morph targets/blend shapes modeled in Maya, sculpting and texturing done in ZBrush. Rigged in Maya using AdvancedSkeleton. Hair created with Maya hair. Shaded, lit and passes rendered through Mental Ray for Maya, compositing in NukeX.

    Considering Riptor was a raptor and not a T-Rex, why would anyone think it was the same character?

    Because I honestly thought it was a reboot of some sort of Riptor at first. Considering he was shown right after Orchid... :(

    Wasn't Orchid a black chick just saying

    I like how the video says "Welcome to the Future." As the T-Rex curb stomps a Ferrari.

    She looked a bit like Jade imo
  8. IniquityDM
    Jade's been Asian and black throughout the series.

    Now she's like Milato/Blackasian

    Hey guys, just wanted to say that it's super cool that you posted this up. I'm a huge MK and (obviously) KI fan, and it's pretty cool to get feedback from a bunch of people who are into the same stuff. Yes, the T-Rex is just a T-Rex, but I have thought about trying to tackle Riptor or possibly Fulgore. I think they both would be really cool to re-imagine. I always thought Orchid looked like a (mindblowing at the time) 1996 CG version of Paula Abdul in KI2, but I ended up using a bunch of faces as reference to end up with what you see there now. And given more time I would have totally done the whole Orchid flashing fatality thing, lol. Thanks again!

    It's a pleasure having you sign up here, Ryan! I was the one who emailed you recently too btw. :)

    Good stuff and I truly hope to see more KI or even MK stuff from you! Very impressive.

    Fulgore would be nutz! Then again, I'd so mark out if you did a demo reel of the entire KI cast ;)

    I recently got an SNES and KI :D Good times......
