Description
Anakin is gone... I AM WHAT REMAINS

I wanted to make a faceposable Vader and I made this thing, because I have to say the obvious here... There's nothing behind the model, just an empty armor. But now you have something to make it less of an empty shell and more of...

Gah! What the heck I'm saying! He's already an empty shell of a man in this state, for kriff's sake!

In any case, this is just a disembodied head unless you know what you are doing...

FEATURES
  • Original bones and renamings from Darth Vader's model
  • Original head from Anakin's model with edits to the mesh in order to make the model look complete, yet faithful to the art-style and original modelling. This also applies with the rigging and weight paints
  • Eye textures made from scratch
  • Posable QC Eyes
  • Diffuse textures, UV map tweaks and bumpmaps made from the originals, with many stuff edited from scratch.
  • Extensive faceposing options (55 flexes)
  • Already sized to TF2 scale
  • Redeemed light-side eyes
  • Some edits to the mesh in order to make the model look complete, yet faithful to the art-style and original modelling.
  • TF2 lightwarps and shaders included to make the model more cartoonish for show-accuracy
  • Particle attachment points
  • 2 Eyeglint meshes with eye ambient occlusion as bodygroups
  • 15 skins (some of them come with shrunken eyes to make animeesque expressions, trademark of the house) and toggable hair as a bodygroup for some people interested into making really cursed results... (AKA "Siths" and giggles)

ISSUES
  • The eyes are borked when the model isn't bonemerged, this would have been solved if the model was a prop instead of an effect. But I couldn't add a collission mesh due to a stubborn bug, sorry for the inconvinience!.
  • Twisting the head too much once merged can make some parts of the neck clip through, so as long as you don't do extreme twists it shouldn't be a problem.
  • 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.

@ProtoBoobs Thank you! But sadly there aren't CGI styled Luke models available yet... If it was the case I would get my hands in one of them to do my usual things!
