Darth Sion Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Hey people.. I know there's a few lightsaber blade mods flying around, out there.. But I was wondering if anyone who's good with designing lightsaber blades and their colours, if someone could do these high-quality blades (shown below) (From Star Wars: The Old Republic). I will say one thing about that game.. I'm not a fan in the slightest, but the CGI trailers BioWare and EA made for them are sublime. For the blade trails, you could add them in, if you feel it would add to the effect, but I use "JK: Enhanced", so luckily I have my movie sabers effect. Thanks!P.s Just as a quick question, is this something you could do @@kalamaray? Once you've finished your "Force Awakens conversion mod", do you think you could have a crack at this, @@GPChannel?

Daedra Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 I did re-create the in-game customizable Blades here: https://jkhub.org/files/file/2304-the-old-republic-saber-colors-final/ I never made the regular blades, mostly because I wanted to make something different rather than something that looked the same. But, for your request, Rooxon might be a good choice for this. Darth Sion likes this

kalamaray Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 I was actually playing around with a version of the new blades i just finished that are just like these, as it's the other most common appearance saber blades have versus the layered glow tapered look. Using the same technique i did for the inner glows on my new ones but with more straight rounded blades, and inner glows that blend into the main glow for the effect of one thick glow surrounding the entire blade instead of tapering off with layers. I couldn't do better then movie battles trails though as those are made by modding the code or something that changes how the trails actually behave, not just the blur jpegs (the jpegs are just thin straight lines for movie battles which produce a tiny trail on the tip in the normal game). Anyways the challenge on these is getting that thick glow without the "icecream sandwich effect" of color around the blade becoming way to solid looking in-game. I think i can do these though, since someone is specifically wanting this style i'll start working on them. Edit: just to give you an idea of what i was already working on here's a screenshot of the blue blade after about 15 mins of doing a bit more editing to it, there's alot more work to be done on them though. Also let me know what hilts you like to use so i can make sure the bottom tapers into them at the right part like in the screenshots, some hilts blade tags are way more shallow/deep then others.

kalamaray Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Still working on some details and whatnot but here's some of what i've done so far. Also there was another cinematic clip featuring the yellow blade i used as reference, pictures don't really do them justice though heh. Teancum, Darth Sion and Ramikad like this

kalamaray Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 Pretty much done, just been trying to get the red and yellow blade just right and working on an accurate saberflare like the one in the cinematics. I was planning on getting it uploaded within the next day or so. Darth Sion likes this

Looking forward to its release, though. GMRobinHood likes this
kalamaray Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Everything is ready except the flare which i'm trying to get just right. Shouldn't take long though. Darth Sion likes this
