Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Clone Trooper Phase 2: 501st Legion Edition

Well... It had to happen sooner or later! Because the 501st is the most reowned clone batallion within the Grand Army of the Republic (and later within the Empire's Stormtrooper Corps...) and not to mention those awesome blue markings which give that "elite and battle-hardened" vibe, always ready to face the brunt of the battle. Heck, these guys were the freakin' protagonists in the whole campaign of Battlefront II! (the original one from 20 years ago, not the EA/DICE modern iteration, just to be sure...)

Maybe there will be people thinking "just a 501st reskin of my clone trooper models", but this isn't just an average ""re-skin""... It has more details than the unmarked clone model I released the past year and that makes a great difference.

In any case, celebrate the 20th anniversary of Revenge of the Sith and the original Battlefront II game with this 501st Legion clone trooper model by recreating their finest moments... Operation: Knightfall aside...

• ValveBiped skeleton with additional bones made by me for the visor and rangefinder, these bones can be adjusted via Advanced Bone Tool or Ragdoll Mover
  
• A WHOPPING total of 15 MODELS: 2 main character models (the second one comes with integrated CUSTOM ANIMATIONS made by Stefano), 6 helmet props, 5 bonemergeable effects and 2 additional props.
  
• Head and face mesh tweaked to look like Seasons 4-7 animated models and onwards.
  
• Improved and tweaked textures on the head and some parts of the armor
  
• Eye textures made from scratch
  
• Posable QC Eyes with dedicated flex controllers for a better handling
  
• Extensive faceposing options (59 flexes), to get better results use the Enhanced Faceposer or Eltorro64Rus' Improved Faceposer Tool | TF2 Edition
  
• 23 hairstyles with 7 skins (Skins 1 and 2 are paintable) on a single bonemergeable effect.
  
• Upscaled to TF2 size
  
• Original bodygroups along others made by me
  
• TF2 lightwarps and shaders included to make the models more cartoonish for show-accuracy
  
• Particle attachment points
  
• 2 Eyeglint meshes with eye ambient occlusion as bodygroups (one of them is toggled on by default, with a secondary one as an alternative version. Both may require a map with HDR to work properly and DirectX9 mode enabled)
• 15 skins (some of them come with an alternate head texture and shrunken eyes to make animeesque expressions if you want)
  
• Some touch-ups and tweaks to the already-made weightpaints
  
• 332nd Division helmet textures INCLUDED! Along with some hidden features and easter eggs I want you to figure out just to give some spice, but I'll make a lil' spoiler... I've included Captain Vaughn in some form, all you have to do is build him!

• The fingers don't close properly when clenching them apart of being quite long, but the Advanced Bone Tool or the Ragdoll Mover may mitigate this problem may mitigate this problem.
  
• The eyeglint/eye ambient occlusion meshes bodygroups have flicker and tearing at far distances, but using SDoF (Super Depth of Field) in your screenshots with the model this problem goes out (apart of SDoF making things look even prettier if you use it well in your screenshots, so win win) and also you can switch them off. Other way is using the Advanced Camera addon and adjust the Near Z slider if you prefer to make larger images with the poster command.
  
• Some cosmetics and equipment may clip a bit if you combine too many of them or you put the model into exaggerated or awkward postures.
  
• 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 current artwork was made by me and some friends, do not claim it as your own or use it without our knowledge. The same applies for other people interested into getting their images displayed on this page.

If you want to make your own clone troopers, like reskins or custom models for posing, I've made this GitHub repository with every file you need without extracting or decompiling the addon: https://github.com/DaniVader97/Improved_TCW_Clone_Trooper

With this you can make from individual clones and specialized custom units to squads, battalions and legions.

Like most of my work I picked and modified assets from many creators, asking them for permission before anything: this is why I'm crediting all these people first because they are the ones who made such assets originally and thus deserve proper credit for their stuff. Please keep supporting these people, specially the ones who are still active!
