zicmak Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Hello all (as I do believe this is my first forum post)! Been working on a light saber that all but finished... except, as the topic name points out, it doesn't have a name(which is why it is just work in progress as opposed to being release... that would make this the right place for this topic?). It is basically a simple light saber with a portion remove to show the crystal chamber (that is based of the SWTOR design)... and I didn't want to call it a Crystal Chamber Light-saber... So yeah, it needs a name. Any help would be appreciated Caelum likes this Link to comment
zicmak Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 After a little research, Tender Hands? Why? (not all out against it...well, maybe... but anyway, why?) Anymore Suggestions? Link to comment
Astral Serpent Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 大殺す IT IS MEAN KILL LARGE THIS SABER KILL LARGE Or maybe... 大な人の殺す KILL A LARGE HUMAN Link to comment
zicmak Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Is it even possible to use those characters in a Saber Name? (Not sure about that name either to be honest ) Link to comment

zicmak Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Hmm... Maybe I will stick to Crystal Chamber Light-saber Link to comment
zicmak Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Well, in that case, it suddenly sounds a lot cooler (I agree with this Seriously...? Some retarded anime? No, I hate anime, sorry. ...this was virtually my first thought when I clicked the first search result ) Still not sure about the name though... I'd prefer entirely/originally English names Link to comment
Malkav Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 You modeled a saber without having a name in mind? You just experimented, or something?Also, love the "I don't enjoy it because it's incompatible with my standards of masculinity, so it's stupid" going on in this thread. Go with something industrial or otherwise raw (barbaric, savage, etc.) I guess. Or go Diablo on that shit, say, "Savage Blade of Vomit." Link to comment
zicmak Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 I never mod with a name in mind... I do it (some times) with an idea (mine or otherwise), and if that idea has a name (like with Tron) , well that convenient.... Names are extra details that can be worried about later (like now) Also, love the "I don't enjoy it because it's incompatible with my standards of masculinity, so it's stupid" going on in this thread.Actually, (if that is referring to the anime thing) thats just personal opinon... even if it is our opinion because "it's incompatible with my standards of masculinity" Back to the name... Go with something industrial or otherwise raw (barbaric, savage, etc.) I guess. Or go Diablo on that shit, say, "Savage Blade of Vomit."That makes me think of unfinished buildings... don't ask why... does "Incomplete" sound too stupid? Link to comment
zicmak Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Illustrious Nagamaki of Disconcerting Ulcer BleedingPlease tell me that isn't a suggestion I have no idea what you are talking about. No one ever brought up anything to do with masculinity. I simply don't(do not) enjoy(derive pleasure from) anime(Japanese cartoons). Umm... how did this topic arise? (Don't bother answering... Just think up names ) Link to comment
zicmak Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 I'll pretend I read that as Pulsing Mega Blade of Destruction...still no (either way) Link to comment

Milamber Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Spark cause you can like, see the ignition take place? xD Link to comment
zicmak Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Argh... that's it... I'm going to hide in a corner and dub myself Sir Indecisive... I wonder if Ignition is a good/even a name Or maybe call it Resolute... Link to comment
zicmak Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Decided on Resolute... And during all this I have been fiddling with the model... What do you think? Link to comment
zicmak Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 Here you go... The four perspectives of gmax (drum roll ) Link to comment
AshuraDX Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 way to many sides ot those cylinders , jsut think about how small they actually are , you wont get that close up to notice they're round8 -10 sides would be perfect for the main body and for all those amller tubes you should use 3-6 sides maxseeing this , I wodner how many verts&tris does your model have ?it looks like an insanely high amount for a small saberhilt like thisI used to make the same mistake when I got started, pretty much everyone does Link to comment
zicmak Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 Okay.. All in gmax (still) Perspective Top Front Side Link to comment
zicmak Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 I've been thinking too many sides... but frankly, I have been to lazy to figure out how to change it after using the Convert to poly thingy (I'll be happy if someone tells me it is stupidly obvious and shows how :unsure: )Checking ModView- V:4417... Twice as many as I originally had on my tron disk (V2)... I think I was told off for that too ...yeah... I'll get around to undetailing Link to comment
Kualan Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 "The Lucid", maybe ? Lucid meaning "a clear perception". Link to comment
zicmak Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 Got it down to V:1192 ... This any better? @@KualanAlready decided on a Name (and to lazy to change it)... But that is a pretty good name Link to comment
KDR_3XILE Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Depending on the color of the blade....I'll take a random stab in the dark: Blue blade - Prosperity.Green - Harmony.Red - Calamity.Yellow - Serenity ...all names that came to mind, none or which seem original but then again, this is coming from someone who wants their hilt named 'Integrity'.

I'll get around to undetailing sorry to tell ya but there's no easy way to remove them , you have to get rid of the unnecessary edges by handin Gmax , go to edgemode then select the edges you want to remove and click the remove button [dont hit delete]then do the same with the vertices conencted tot hose edges as they will stay when you just rmeove the edges connecting them Got it down to V:1192 ... This any better? @@KualanAlready decided on a Name (and to lazy to change it)... But that is a pretty good name Link to comment
CaptainChar Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 modelling still sounds complex to me Link to comment
