Star Wars: Darth Vader (Soulcalibur IV - Scaled and Improved)

To celebrate this May 4th and the 45th anniversary of the whole Star Wars franchise I've decided submit this upload.

This model was already here, I know. But it needed some touch-ups and improvements to satisfy the most demanding sceneposing artists and animators when it comes to fine details, so... You are very welcome! Because those improvements you were wishing for are here, now you can unleash the power of The Dark Side at its fullest with this improved Darth Vader model from Soulcalibur IV. Oh and of course May the Fourth be with you!

EDIT: This was on the first page, thank you very much!

• Original skeleton from Soulcalibur IV with most of its bones renamed to ValveBiped names.
  
• 4 models (2 ragdolls and 2 helmet props: 2 with original textures and shaders and other 2 with modified textures and shaders)
  
• Upscaled to TF2 size
  
• Some bodygroups for the cape and helmet pieces, on ragdolls and props (Easy Bodygroup Tool recommended)
  
• Various skins for the lenses
  
• Compatible with the Ragdoll Mover tool but with some issues (see below)
  
• Original physics, shoulders/collar included with some minor touch-ups by my own
  
• TF2 lightwarps and shaders included on the models with modified textures to make them more cartoonish and achieve CGI-animated aestethics.
  
• Particle attachment points
  
• Additional bones for details like the shoulderpads, can be adjusted via Advanced Bone Tool or Ragdoll Poser
  
• Added $mostlyopaque parameter on the QC files of the models to make them cast shadows on dynamic lighting, because the original model lacked of that parameter.

• The fingers don't close properly when clenching them, but the Advanced Bone Tool or the Ragdoll Mover may mitigate this problem.
  
• The IK chains are finally working, but the legs bend in the wrong direction. You can mend this with moving the legs to their correct position after using the IK chain
  
• If you have other problems like bugs or glitches just make me know in the dedicated discussion thread below and I'll try to fix them on my freetime.

All the artwork was made by me, do not claim it as your own or use it without my knowledge.
