Model description : Formerly Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, student of Obiwan Kenobi.
Seduced by the dark side of the Force he became Darth Vader. Sought to
hunt down and destroy all Jedi. Ordered by Emperor Palpatine to kill
Luke Skywalker, but tried to save his son instead.

Other info : Darth Vader is the second model that I make. It's a brand new model, with a
Light-Saber, that I made with the software TrueSpace4. Just for the head, I
used 240 polygons because I wanted it to be the more realistic possible, in
spite of a less detailed body. For the Light-Saber I used a game bug to give
a halo look to the blade : I just inverted the mapped side of some polygons.
For doing the animations I used QME because TrueSpace4 doesn't work fine with
Low-polys animatable deformations. I tried the best I could, with my little
animations experience, to give a tissue look to the cape, I like the result.
For the skin, I used the software CorelPhotoPaint8, and some pictures of the
SciFiUniverse of November 1995 and StarWarsInsider Issue #26 magazines, courtesy
of my friend Kaarde, pictures that I scanned and pasted on the skin. I think
that the result is pretty cool, since I wanted to keep the original look of the
character. Same thing for the saber, I used a picture that I found on the
"StarWars 3d Modeling Alliance" web site http://www.surfthe.net/swma/archives/archives.html.
I mapped the skin with NST. I confess that the skin isn't well mapped. I used
only the necessary parts of Vader. I also cheated a bit by stretching the two
polys of the back in the only goal to have 0% of skin waste. I used Q2modeler
to solve the "NULL skin found" problem.
