SITH SABERS RETURN

by: Lord Hatrus of the [RoAR] Clan



Introduction:
I started making sabers and guns for JK2 whne it first came out. Everyone seemed to love them, so I was planning on making more but decided to move back to another game for a while. Then, my modeling skills were just forming. I like modeling so I decided to learn more about it. Now it is my career and I get paid to do what I love most, model! I dont know how long it will be till this is posted. When I worked for JK2Files, Id post it myself, but hopefully it wont take long. This will
be the largest release of saber hilts in JK2. And uniquely will be all authored by one person. You might have a bit of lag on your slower computers, but this is cause some of my sabers have over 8,000 polys in them. Some of them are highly detailed with intricate parts. I only use Milkshape 3D for my saber models and would make them higher poly, but I cant get past 9,000 polys without the
program crashing. I used the Kyle saber skin a lot because, well I didnt feel like making a new skin for each saber. There's over 30 of them and it would take forever. There are some sabers here I released before. But only sith saber's made the cut this time. The first 3 were such a hit they got used in the first or second JediMOD. So I decided to start the Sith Saber line up again. Do note that
all of the sabers are constructed by me and not other authors. I decided that just compiling other author's work show no creativity or dedication.


What to Expect:
Well getting ideas was deffinately the hard part. I ran out of ideas fast. So some of the sabers will be more plain then others. But then some people like the plain ones better then the complex ones. I tried to appeal to all kinds of people by making sabers that had different styles and looks. Almost all sabers are dark in color and look best with a red or blue blade in my opinion. You will see  similarities from sabers that already exist. Like Exar Kun, Darth Bane, Darth Vader, The Palpatine Clones...And you will find shapes from things in the world around us. Some sabers are more menacing then others. I tried to provide the player with a range of "evilness" to choose from. There are sabers for 3 kinds of mods and such: JediMOD, ForceMOD, and AcademyMOD. So that means there double and single bladed sabers, and sabers made to be used two-at-a-time aka dual saber mods. You can tell which are which pretty much. The single bladed sabers are about regular saber length. And have an emitter on one end. The double bladed sabers are usually symetric with an emmitter housing on each end. An emmitter housing is the part that houses the saber blade emmiter. It can be decorated with spides, fins, or anything you can imagin. The double bladed sabers are usually longer then single bladed sabers. Then there are the dual sabers which are made for one hand. Some will be shorter then the single and double bladed sabers, but may be both single or double bladed.
