HARDCORE HAK (BEHIND THE SCENES)
Added 2025-08-16 17:26:10 +0000 UTCThis mod has been in development for a long time. This was a concept I originally had a few years ago, but could never really figure out how to make it happen. I don’t normally mess with character mods at all so it was a huge roadblock for me ever making any kind of attires or characters.
Thanks to the help of a lot of other talented mod creators I was able to bring this idea to life
Using a wide variety of tools in blender, materialize and adobe substance painter, I was able to create a hardcore hak 1999 accurate model
This involves a lot of research and learning because it’s something I’ve always wanted to do. I knew in the long run it would make all of my other mods better if I could just get everything down, instead of just weapons and arenas.
I watched a ton of WCW 2000 to make this as accurate as I possibly could
I scoured the Internet for rare interviews and matches that weren’t even seen on TV
Didn’t really expect this mod to get this intricate, but I really wanted to do it justice considering Sandman is such an iconic part of hard-core wrestling and Hak is such a unique overlooked character
This mod includes the following changes to Sandman:
Custom beer belly based on appearances sculpted in blender
Custom attires with accurate T-shirts sourced from vintage eBay listings
Custom tattoos and eyebrow piercings.
Custom stitching on denim pants and reverse stitching for the one time he wore a shirt inside out by mistake
Custom wrapped barbed wire mesh that stays on during entrances and matches
Includes custom attachment points for custom championship belts to fit around the beer belly
Includes custom props, titantron, music, and render.
