I had tagged you, was a typo which I fixed in a later edit ^^U

That lowpoly is so pretty...

[AshuraDX]

a quick and dirty texture test:

 

dirty might not be the fitting term since this thing is currently completely clean, not a single scratch nor the slightest bit of dust can be found here atm

I plan to include color variation for the glowy things, so you can have it match your sabercolor

 

I tried to setup my sketchfab material to resemble JKAs renderer as close as possible, meaning no normal maps and a fixed glossiness value, not too happy with the specularity but oh well, can't have everything

starting to get the feeling this should be a lightwhip...

 

 

[Kalmar]

Oh, damn. I've been away for a while, and I just saw this.

Thanks for making it @AshuraDX @Rooxon, and I honestly didn't think of a name for it.

 

Just.. DAMN.

Edit: So.. okay I thought it would only be appropriate to give you link of the art that made me request this saber, the artist's name is broodofevil on deviantart

http://broodofevil.deviantart.com/art/Lightsaber-v5-109286616

There you go, enjoy his cool work.

 

Final Edit: I already sent @@AshuraDX a message telling him the name, the name will be Vathius.

[AshuraDX]

the saber will now be called Vathius

 

@@Kalmar I linked the concept art in the model description on sketchfab that guy made a few cool sabers

[Kalmar]

Wohoo, cheers!

Nice! You could add a few tris to round out that "spoon" at the top. Can't say i'm a big fan of the TRON lights tho, i'd rather see different materials to break the uniformity but that's just me.

@AshuraDX Your model is sweet and very nice detailed but i have one suggestion - these red lines. I think they would look better if they wouldnt be one flat colour only.

I made a little change to show You what i am talking about



This is only the suggestion O~O ..

hmmm indeed, I may make some variations for all saber colors then had intended to use an alphamapping system to get the different color glows
