wrong. i didn't mean an animated saber weapon, i meant an effect that would look like spinning blades. sure the emitters would be stationary, one would think. but not if i made it seem like they spin (remove that part of the model, add a grey "spinning" part to the base of the effect gfx). still, it'd look clunky and it'd clip through everything that is possible to clip through. so the idea was a no-go in the end. A ton of things is possible with this old JKA engine, just need imagination.

no probs, forgot to mention: actual heli-saber mechanic not implemented. thought about making a helicopter-like blade effect and swapping it, but on the other hand, it'd spin all the time then. would look wierd.

Wanna throw this out there; one could use xNormal to bake the base textures, put them together in photoshop then recolor and draw on materials. A good help for that would be my tutorials in regards of map combination and how to work with all these different generated maps, but not as much for material drawing. I showed a lot of basic and maybe even unproper ways to do that there (meaning in the basic lightsaber modeling tutorial, photoshop way). If u want, u could link the tutorial there. [sharedmedia=tutorials:tutorials:215] Another thing is that im currently using xNormal 3.19.3, so this version uploaded here is outdated, nevermind the dotxsi support. some might overlook that in the description. Some important things were added in the latest one too: - Added Photoshop CC 2015.5 / 2017 support. - Added 3ds Max / Maya 2017 support. - Fixed a bug computing the bent normals map. - Fixed a bug reading vertex colors from FBX files. - The program now requires Windows 7 to run. - Added support for the GeForce Pascal(10XX) architecture. - Updated the installer's UI. - Recompiled using the latest libraries.

Yeah, one thing tho; you keep the highpoly way too sharp around the edges. Textures would look nicer if you baked it once you tone the edginess down; for baking, you want even the sharpest edges to appear a bit smooth. Then there's a little line on the emitter where you seemingly for some reason either broke the UVs or decided to use another tone of color, which produces this difference... well all i'm saying is you should have kept it consistent but since its such a small model, no one except me will ever notice. So I guess it's fine like this in a sense.

Oh this makes me sad in a sense. So many Unreal Engine projects, never completed...

You forgot to ask me. I'd help.

Like 20 times alltogether. By different people.

Nope Circa's is way different, check it out for yourselves! Circa tried recreating it completely while AngelSoul created it with his own interpretation. Looks almost like a model tbh! Nicely done!

Aw cut me some slack. Ask Seven, he might be willing to do them!

I need reference. If you can provide it, I could see what I can do.

I thought that, too. I gotta find a HD clear reference for it.

Oh this hilt was requested to me. It's on my to-do list as well, good to know the name. Awesome effort tho for your first saber!

This is probably the most original mod I've seen in a while (probably since Ashura's Turntable playermodel). Damn, my little cousin got scared when I spawned a bunch of those.

Reference pictures: I took the first picture as a base then combined it with the spikes/boxes from the second one.

Wrath, for MP, you need to have it in your base folder and so does everyone else, or they will see you use Kyle's saber. Additionally, if this hilt doesn't appear when you join a server, it means it's not uploaded to it either. So, the file needs to be in your base, in the server base and in every other player's base, or they will not see anything else than katarn's hilt.
