Polycount: 1922
Triangles: 1797
Idea by: Lord Hatrus
Built for: Rebels of Another Realm Clan
RoAR Website: www.roarrebels.tk
RoAR JK2 Server: 68.201.18.145
Origional Model: Kyle Saber Base Model
Specs: Built for Rebels of Another Realm Clan as the first of their clan's saber hilts.
Notes: I believe this was/is going to be currently the largest poly saber to date I may be wrong. The saber was origionally at 7085 polys, but was reduced considerably to only 1922 polys. The saber line will be increased to nearly 10,000 polys in the near future.
Comments: As usual I didnt use anything but MS3D to model, dont really need anything else. Also used Photoshop 7.0.0.1, MD3Viewer from the Raven Tools. Tested on a 1.4 Dedicated Server and on a 1.4 Dedicated Academy Mod Server (lates mod release), and seems to work fine. I intend to stretch the boundries of concievable and logical space to bring the most intricate and unique art I can think of.
Description: You might remember me from around the release of JK2. I made several hit saber hilts that got used in the JediMod. Also released a saber called the Black Widow that is still my favorite, lol. I pulled out JK2 the other day and decided I'd just play the SP. Of course I just had to play a MP game or two...or three...or...just to say I got hooked on it again. I'm back currently doing the same vision of saber hilts I did in the past. Unique, strange, somehow balanced, and not like anyother sabers out there. I decided I'd need a "client" to give me "requests" si I didnt have to sit and think for ideas to pop up in ym little head. This saber was "the origional" Hatrus Saber I first designed. It was never released due to the poly count and then I wasnt as experienced as I am now. I rebuilt it from scratch off of a pic I had off of it. The tentacles hanging down at the top are made of some unbreakable metal...like durasteel so thats why they dont beatk in battle. The array is what I call a peacock tail, like the big fat bird with the purty feathers.
Installation and Uninstallation:
INSTALLATION
