Object: Lightsaber

#1

I know almost everyone has done a lightsaber but wanted to post my render here. :scream:

c&c welcome… as with everything on cgtalk

and the wire (bit overboard with the polys… but anyways):

#2

that looks nice. youve made good use of the depth of field, if perhaps a little strong, and generally it looks very good. the only thing id say might need a tweak is the wood. it looks almost like plastic, i dont know why, but it does to me…maybe a bit too reflective ?

#3

Thanks random.hero, the idea behind the wood was to make it look varnished and I think a better quality render will make the dof less obvious. Well, off to the next project it is…

#4

yes nice modeling. dof maybe only at one end of the object and more weakly

#5

most of the time if it said lightsaber render i wouldnt bother to look but this is a truly beaughtiful realistic render. Great work what softs.

#6

Only crit I have is I dont like the type of wire you posted, haha. GJ!

#7

nice lightsaber. looks great! :slight_smile:

#8

That looks very nice, do you plan on making a rendering with the sabre “on” ?

#9

If I can find a camcorder I can try to composite it in… that would own.

Here is one of the test renders with the saber on:
