Description This is my first attempt at rendering my future character of the Star Wars - The Old Republic MMO.

For clarification - there are two Impetuses, but 3000 years apart and they're very separate characters, despite being similar in many ways. It's only really cause TOR will be set 3000 years before the birth of the first Impetus so I need two of them The one seen with Tonfa lightsabers is the more 'modern day' one, depicted best in these two renders [link] and [link]

This is the only pic on DA of the The Old Republic era Impie that uses a lightwhip and looks slightly different too mainly because of her different background, but I'm gonna make more later on.

I need a heck of a lot of work on making the lightwhip, but it'll come with practice as I experiment with different styles. I imported the same whip figure 9 times, and conformed them all together in the same shape, then morphed them individually from half way down to separate them

Oh great, now I have to go back and correct all my TOR renders with Impetus in them. Thanks alot.

I kid. Nice image. Lightwhips cannot be easy to make.

hehe, I'm making her slightly different from the modern Impie so that they're not clones of each other

I'm not sure if doing it my way was the best way, I'm gonna experiment with different ways of doing it till I find a way I like... or if I can't find a way of doing it that looks nice, I'll abandon the whole lightwhip thing and go to plan B - fibrecord linked lightsabers. If that doesn't work, I'll probably just go back to the tonfa style sabers once I make them in 3DS Max. The thing is most tonfa lightsabers, as beautiful as the style is, are suicidal (you've got lightsabers right next to your arms for a start) need some way to stop your arm being cut into two lengthways every time you make a block, and having the blade point backwards all the time isn't much of a help when you want a quick forward strike, but props like that are hard (impossible) to find so I'm gonna make one with an armguard between her arm and her own blade and a curved blade on the other side too. Probably gonna look crap, but it'll be a nice 3DS max project

I might end up having her be a self proclaimed 'master of all ridiculous lightsaber designs' so I can give her whatever I want

Interesting for sure. I haven't decided what my Sith will look like, and I'll probably wait to know what customization the game itself allows.

Yeah, I doubt we'll be able to have lightwhips either, but I'll be writing stories and rping more than I'll be actually playing
