TGMC #1: Lightsaber

For my first model of the great modeling challenge, figured I'd start with a quick and fairly easy one, Luke Skywalker's lightsaber from Return of the Jedi.

They look really cool, I think after you add some colour onto them they will look awesome.

Thanks, yeah, I can't wait to get reflections and stuff going on this, though it'll make render times a bit longer

What does render times mean?

A render is when the computer processes and saves an image like the one in the first post. Now there's many options, but the more stuff you have going on, AO, Shadows, Reflections, Particles, Effects, model density, all make the time for the render go up. That picture took about 8 minutes to render and save to my HDD.

And here's the modeling bit finished, now to texture and then it's finished

And voila, one lightsaber

HAHA nice one DW and the lightsaber it's sooo SHINY!!!!!! nice work

Thanks! I think next up is the JJPrise, a somewhat more intensive model, but hopefully won't take more than a few weeks

JJprise is that JJ abrams version of the enterprise?

Yes it is, anything from that style or universe is now usually abbreviated with a JJ in front of it, such as its name, JJverse

Hey DW, please remember that all props must be returned to me by Friday.

It's Friday!

Grrr.....

(nice job. They look real!)

they look really cool nice job.

Ok how did i miss this.... Any ways cause i can't use my mouse(damn battieres ran out) I can't see any of your pictures past the first one you posted, but looking at that, Damn well done.

Also i think you should try the Koener Prise instead of the JJ

Find good orthos and I may do that one.

Also, use your arrow keys, they at least scroll the page and using the tab function will select buttons

(I used to have a 98 with no mouse)

No i mean the images came up as a box with an cross in it, could't see it
