I made the one from Return of the Jedi a while back (

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.

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?

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?

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
