I made the one from Return of the Jedi a while back (http://www.maj.com/gallery/rentafence/3 ... sabers.jpg) and this time I made the one from A New Hope/Empire Strikes back. I was trying to make some nice chrome type of material for it, but It came out bad.

simple, but well done. work on the material though.

I suck at the materials. Im trying to get an uber shinny chrome look, but I guess my lighting is so shitty, the material is gonna blow no matter what.

thats pretty good, never tried a Light Saber, but will soon.

make the diffuse black, specular white and give it a high reflection as well as something to reflect.

good model, your material is wayyy to reflective though

for chrome it isn't. chrome reflects 98% of light cast on it.

How does the new chrome look then? It doesnt look too reflective to me. >_>

Is the whole light saber supposed to be chrome?

rentafence · Post by **rentafence** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 6:07 pm

Except for the grips, pretty much yeah.

its very reflective, but maybe get a new texture to have it reflect, or maybe get a rigged MC and put the Light Saber in his hands mb mb? and render it like that?

How bout a sky? I put a bump map on too.

thas pretty cool. i like the bumping, but hardly noticable on the sky.

It looks good. The texture on the fins at the bottom looks like gravel (dirt). Just a comment, not trying to flame.

Overall I give it a 7.7/10.

I think I overdid it with the bump on the grips xD

It's really dark and hard to see in that last render.

The grips shouldnt look like dirt anymore
