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.​

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!

A big online debate that has spanned over an entire decade. From her KI2 shots, it seemed that she was not but certainly had some ethnicity. I've always imagined her as slightly middle-eastern or hispanic given her bodily proportions but if you go according to game lore, she is tibetan as her brother Jago is defined as that by Rare. Hope that helps :) and yes I have no life and way too much time on my hands.
