Released AngelModder - Darth Vader

[AngelModder]

 

 

 

Finally got the chest plate and other details just the way I wanted them.... 
Also we tried spankies shader, that works great for holograms, but this is a ghost not a holo. Besides his shader did some thing weird in game where parts of the model would disapear.

 

This is the final result we will be sticking with.  

 

[Circa]

That looks pretty good! Good work.

[Omicron]

Looks sweet with DGlow!

[Bane_Ross]

I love this whole thing! Your details are amazing! I definitely want to use this Vader skin for the rest of my life. Fantastic!

[AngelModder]

 

 

 

Im almost done, just creating Icons for the species and trying to get the string file to work to display the name... Then its just throw together the mode defaults, add some new sounds and wallah shes done. Next will be Darth Revan...

P.S. I will be changing out the shin guard texture tomorrow. 

[Lamented]

Beautiful, my good man. Just beautiful!

 

 

Angel, can I use this to make a blue-skin Soul Calibur IV Vader? I could do that and just let you put it in your Vader pack if you want. If not, I understand.

[Circa]

Next will be Darth Revan...

Using what model? Just curious.

I think Gir released a Darth Revan for JKA, or got someone else to convert it. There's a port that I did years ago from KoToR, hopefully it's not in circulation anymore.

Yep. @@Almightygir also included the .max and .xsi files. Although apparently Deviance has reported issues with the mod. I'll have to investigate later.

What does it look like?

 

I will be using Gir's Darth Revan btw. and yes your ported Revan is still very much in circulation. As are all the other KOTOR and KOTOR II models.

[Lamented]

There aren't any pictures on the Internet, I'm afraid.

 

Basically...

 

Helmet - Blue

Chest Armor - Lighter, has a bit more saturation

Robes - Blue

Life Support Panel - RotS

Gloves - White

Boots - Light gray

No cape.

 

I'd do it myself with Toshi's current model but his chest armor does not have the stripes on the back, unlike yours, so... yeah.

Well after about 12 hours of work, I finally finished the HD Body texture. This is twice the resolution of the original toshi created,. at 2048  it makes a huge difference esspecially in game. This was a from scratch peace. Whilst is hsares some elements from the previous versions IE the chest plate and groind, those were already double the original res from when I created them. So on this they were normal sized XD! I think Ive finall captured the feel on the jumpsute I was looking for. NOW to edit it to hell and turn it into the other versions. 

I went back through all the torso files that Omicron was cool enough to type up. I put them in a bit more organized of a manner, which makes looking for what you want easier! Everything's grouped together.

 

Their was a lot of small canon corrections, a good but small example of this would be that the chest box now has the straps it hung from, the chest also has highlighting where musvles of whats left of his body appear. The original actor playing the role of Vader was a body builder of his time. I wanted to reflect this, as it also reminds you Vader is still human despite everything. Canonly its a rather true tribute to Darth Vader, Hauling around heavy cybernetic limbs would keep any one fit while your hunting Jedi. The muscle definition is again apparent in the legs and arms especially as you walk around. 

Many will probably rebuttal and say that the jumpsuit was rather baggy, we are not going by the pics seen in the joke that is Episode III. Theirs so many things wrong with that Vader, it makes me sick. I tried to stick true to two sources. TFU2 Pics I found and Episode 5, as both of these are highly accurate and are in many folks eyes the perfect combination for Vader. The only thing that is a reminder of the begging is the Episode 4 gloves he adorns in this skin. A tribute I felt to "A New Hope" and the begging of many nerd fantasies... XD  

On a note of Ep 3, I love how you can just look at the Jumpsuit and tell its pleather, not even real leather...

WTF is this? That is the most hidious Darth Vader I've ever seen, Infact if I see my skin redone in this manor I will personally beat who ever does it up XD LOL! And wtf is soul caliber any ways? 

 

EDIT : : Btw those parts are not white, there just OVERLY saturated trying to pool of the specular feel his jumpsuite and gloves have. The whole thing from top to bottom is WAY to light! 

 

its not hard to edit Toshi's skin to have a back to the chest plate, just look at the textures... Where the chest plate is, also has an area where the back of it goes. he left it blank as in his version you couldnt take off the cape like mine does, so there was no need for a detailed texture.

DUDE. I SAID THE BLUE VADER SKIN IN SOUL CALIBUR IV, DID YOU PAY ANY ATTENTION!? JESUS CHRIST

 

Jk.

 

But no seriously, that isn't the Vader skin I was referring to at all. The one I'm talking about has blue, black and white colors, so... yeah, I'm not sure that meant much.

I think you just described the exact same Vader I posted under specific lighting conditions

 

 

 

 

[AngelModder]

Well a bit of an update, I just read a few tutorials on specular maps, about to go test in game right now to see if the tutorial results are better!

[Lamented]

I was not referring to lighting conditions....

 

There is literally a second skin of Darth Vader in Soul Calibur IV. He's just not ANYWHERE ON GOOGLE wearing the armor. I've played it before on PS3 and it is NOT WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT, man...

 

http://youtu.be/hChZObLRPRc?t=35m50s

I also mentioned that the skin Vader uses has no cape...

[Syd0w]

nice DBZ fan movie man

In my opinion the only thing that's holding it back at this point is the shine effect on the helmet

[AngelModder]

New result was much better! I wish only that I could add some bump mapping  !

After following the tutorial for spec mapping leather, I took there advise and also added a touch of color to it, allot of times when I've sen vader his leather/armor has a very faint touch of blue to them... So I mimicked this in the spec map.

Would what I have be enough or perhaps shinier? Also remember that pic you referred to is in VERy bright lighting.

[Syd0w]

oh wow I did not think of that at all, nevermind i dont know what im talking about.. it's late

 

I guess you're good to go unless others want to say something

[Lamented]

nice DBZ fan movie man

 

DBZ? Do you ever read youtube descriptions...?

 

And I can't believe I have to give you a crappy ingame picture with my phone to tell you what we're talking about...

Wait til later. too tired

I'm sure nobody else really knows what you're talking about if they've never played the game. And if there's no pictures online to show what it looks like. I sure don't.

What is Soul Calibur...? You sh**ing me...? It's one of the best fighters of all time.
