Def Jam MK 1 Pack 5 - Tupac Biggie Methodman Redman

First and foremost, to whoever you are,  Happy Friday :)

All 4 mods are requests that have been asked for multiple times in the comments of previous packs. This week I wanted to see how far I could take last weeks learnings about increasing and decreasing bones to account for drastically different shapes. Tupac and Biggie have been added as main characters, followed by Methodman and Redman Kameos. The weight painting had to be re-done on the armpits for Tupac and Biggie was a lot more involved. I would not be surprised if there are some weird issues but I did test them in the character select, level select, practice room as well as fatalities and things are looking decent.

As always please let me know if there is anything wrong and I will circle back one of these nights.

New Obstacles

- Testing body size tricks for weight painting

Known Bugs

- Arms look rough during some clashes during the level select. Other than that it looks good!
