Battle Damaged Darth Vader

  • []I have created THREE versions of this skin: Helmetless, cracked helmet, and full helmet.

    []Includes custom robotic-limb mesh and custom texture edits.

    []Breathing replaced with Vader's iconic damaged breathing SFX

    []Head mesh is Anakin's imported over the BaseMaleHead.

    []Everything is independent- Should not have issues with other mods unless they also edit Vader's model and textures.

    []Custom UI Icons

    Known Issues:

    • []Some vertex and normal warping around cape. This is due to limitations with cloth mesh imports. Will be updated as tools get updated.

      Special Thanks

      • []Gman for his hard work with the Frosty tools

        []SIRME for helping test and assisting me with learning Frosty

        []CosmicDreams for assisting me with SFX replacement

        []Schnick for the cloth mesh import help
