Release date: March 16 2001

Model description :

Formerly Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, student of Obiwan Kenobi. Seduced by the dark side of the Force he became Darth Vader. As a Dark Lord of the Sith, he was sought to hunt down and destroy all Jedi. Emperor Palpatine ordered him to kill Luke Skywalker, but tried to save the life of his son instead.

UT :
This is the second time I do a model of Darth Vader, I did the first one back in 1999, it was my second ppm. Now, this one is my 16th! I decided to do Darth Vader again because I figured out a good way of doing the Lightsaber effect. I also understood how to use the Environment effect in UT. This model has 1500 triangles. It may seem high, but the new Skeletal System of UT can easily handle this polycount.

You might need to install the Unreal Tournament Bonus Pack 4.

Q3A :
After the Unreal Tournament version was finished, I converted the model into the Quake3Arena format. I really like the way the Environment effect is showing up. The polycount is somewhat high, but the polycount of the Lod1/2 version is very low.
