animation: obi wan kenobi's lightsaber

[CGmonkey]

can't download the file :´(

[Joril]

I can.

And I think the metal of the saber is to reflective.
Other than that. It looks neatly done. Some sharp edges, but they may be intentional - I don't know lightsabers that well.

3-4 hrs to render

its a good model but thats a bit extensive to render such short # of frames with such little crap in each frame. :surprised

okay here (http://www.jizzypop.com/LWsaber2.avi) is an update to the video (3.75mbs)

this render took almost 9 hrs, is there something wrong with that? i used raytracing reflections, medium antialiasing and DOF. i have a 1.3ghz amd athlon and 512k ram. it just seems like thats kinda long for such a simple video

^bump :D

your texture is ****ing awsome, i my self have done mauls, obi's and lukes so far, but i was shite with textureing them,

one comment though, the end of teh saber is supposed to have a wide opening for the beam emmiter i belive, i have it in my Sci Fi weapons manual i got from like 15 years ago,

3-4 years to render :surprised

nice model, looks like the base of an actual sword I was looking at (well, bits of it).
/me likes

[Spliff_Richards]

It´s a bit too clean for my liking

[AWAKE]

The animation seems a bit lifeless.

[DeathCarrot]

cool, i like the saber... u really gonna animate it as in give it to 2 guys and make em fight?

i think that it could be better with falloff on reflecting...
but at all modeling is good:thumbsup:

thats a good idea, how exactly would i go about doin that?

[AndyBa]

When people download a 2 meg animation they expect to see an animation. :(
You could show several images from different angles.

Ok, i like it but the animation (?) is too fast, make it slower or put some images... and go on with the lazer and the glow...
