My friends Mega Man project leaked onto Kotaku!

[dre-w]

It was kinda just random.  We were all playin Mega Man 10 and my buddy who works for Obsidian Entertainment decided that he was going to put together a trailer for a Mega Man movie, just to see what peoples reaction would be.  The last couple weeks he's been rendering these really cool boss characters.  He sent a few of them to one of his friends at work and next thing you know it's on Kotaku and the Capcom website!  He's been getting a lot of emails and positive feedback, funny because those weren't even finished and Mega Man looks much better now.  Anyways heres the link

If anyone cares I can post some other pics of more Mega Man stuff hes been working on that didn't leak...  Only if you keep it secret here though

They look fantastic. I love the hate on the comments. MegaMan looks too western, even saying your friend cant model....... I hate people who do that ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. Its amazing work and just because its not how YOU like it doesnt make it bad, go make it better yourself ! /end rant


tell your friend its awesome and that I'm impressed.

[opt2not]

Yeah, I agree. I was really impressed by the style, and the translation to 3D. Haters will hate, but all those punk-kids on Kotaku will find anything to whine about anyways.

I'm a 3D animator by profession, and when I first saw these I was like "man, I'd love to get my hands on those and animate the eff outta them!"

If your buddy is looking for any animation help, I'd be happy to help out. I can animate in Maya and Max (don't know what he modeled these in...considering Obsidian, I'm going to assume 3DMax). I'd love to make a Mega-man short film.

My interest is peaked.

  Yeh I was thinking the same thing too.  There's constructive criticism and then there's just insults..  and I bet a majority of those are coming from people who wouldn't know the first thing about something as simple as photoshop..

For surre!  I'll let him know, bc we only have 2 friends helping us work on it.  Yeh you nailed it, 3D Studio Max.  Yesterday he said he finished the short teaser trailer, going to see it this weekend!!

Looks cool!  Though it looks like he can push the polys a bit more on this one. Getting "jaggies" around the curves there.

Yeh totally, that one wasn't done by David (Obsidian), that's our friend Yoshi who's currently attending AI.

Drill Man! NICE!

No, I'm in Vancouver BC.
Used to live in California for a while, very nice weather down there. Moved back to Van-city after 4 years...couldn't get used to the culture

Yeh I've been wanting to get outta CA.  Maybe even out of the states..  Canada looks nice.  My fiance has relatives in Germany, sounds promising.  Plus I think I read a restoration post somewhere on this site talking about how there's no speed limit on the freeways in Germany..  I would so move there just for that.

Well, strictly speaking the plural of Autobahn is Autobahnen (in all four of the German cases), and indeed, we're allowed to go as fast as we want on them, which really is quite a retarded thing if you think about it. The car lobby's very strong in this country...

Hmph, I imagined everyone would be driving faster.  How ironic.

[opt2not]

Oh snap!  I thought it was Drill Man from MM4, but it's actually Crash Man from 2!  TIGHT!
Without the heads, they look similar from their bodies.

Those look amazing!!! Too bad I cant see the rest here at work damn it.  Mega Man 2 is by far my favorite. Metal Man looks great. Wish I could see the pics you posted on this thread. Those Kotaku kids are clowns anyway. All that anime stuff looks the same anyway... I liked how their feet didnt look retardedly huge.

Im in CA too...Its getting too expensive to live here, and there are SOOOOO many people. I wouldnt know where else to go though...
