Better Solution For My Lightsaber Blade

I’ve made a lightsaber blade using beams, and I’d like to find a better solution to what I currently have.

My issue is that the blade ends in a pointed tip, and I’d like it to have a more rounded tip. I am wondering if this is possible without the use of multiple beams. The goal is to have a total of 2 beams (one for the white part, and one for the red part).

This is what it looks like with just 2 beams (we’re focusing on the main blade, since I can apply the solution to the smaller ones):
LIGHTSABERONE

This is my current solution (that I would prefer a better approach to):
LIGHTSABERTWO
This solution uses 4 beams. 2 for the long part (white and red), and 2 for the point (white and red).

Aside from the solution above, I’ve tried looking around for better approaches for this and I haven’t been able to find any.

Is there a way to only use 2 beams and get the rounded tip? I’m not sure if it just means I need a better texture or not. Here’s an example of what I’m trying to go for:

I’ve asked around somewhere else and found the solution, since I haven’t had any responses here.

For those of you interested in doing a lightsaber blade made out of beams, it is a texture thing. Your texture needs to be rounded off at the end to give it the rounded tip. Afterwards, all you have to do is pretty much set the beam to two separate attachments and have one of them extend out to make it look like it ignites (I’m doing this via tweening an attachment out from the handle).
