Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber (Feedback? :D)

Heyo!

I haven’t posted in a while, but anyways I recently created a light saber that is wielded by Luke Skywalker. It’s pretty generic and not really fancy but I think it looks ok! It was a very quick build and I just felt like improving especially from my recent build.

Any tips or advice on how to improve?

Thanks! ~ Mark :slight_smile:

The handle is really nice, but the blade could use some updating.

The blade is too short. You can Google a picture of a lightsaber to figure out the proper length.

The tip of your blade is a sphere instead of a “semi-oval”. In the movies, lightsaber tips are more pointy than round.

There’s no outline on your blade. In the movies, there’s this whiteish outline to make the blade stand out.

Other than that, good job.

Edit: spelling

It looks fairly good, but has a few things that stand out, I would recommend looking on Google for lukes lightsaber blue prints. Itll show you some details that you may have missed. One thing that I personally noticed is that the blade looks rather odd i assume its neon so it will glow on shadow map or high graphics while on compatibility. But the blade is a little short so I would extend it in some way. Otherwise very nice looking build and keep it up!

Most lightsabers actually have a white neon core, and the glow is the colour of the lightsaber.

Hey!
It looks fabulous!
You could add a trail to make it more realistic!
Somewhat like this :-

Thanks!

Yeah I was going to add the cut circle to the top of the blade but I think I just got too lazy lol. I’m gonna finish it up though probably and make it longer too.

Thank you!! :slight_smile:

I’ll definitely try that out since I’ve never worked with trails before, should be something fun to learn!

Thanks, and yeah I think the blade’s weird since the transparency. I’ll fix that up! :smiley:

Not a great modeler or builder or anything, but like others have said I feel the blade needs to be longer or the handle shorter. It looks kind of weird with how large the handle is in comparison to the blade.
