Fancy flashlight

Thanks Grafixman. I don't know Blender, so I can only tell you how I did it in C4D. Use a cylinder and taper deform it so it has a point on one end. For material, give it a light cyan colour, use the same colour value for luminance and transparancy. Add a glow and turn off specular. I think I used too much glow in the first one. Here's another lightsaber. I toned down the glow and made the saber using multiple cylinders. I also added a couple of lights so the black central cylinder would show up against the starfield background.

One more showing the full light saber. Grafixman, sorry to have taken over your thread. I'm just having a lot of fun playing around and learning how to make materials.

Hey, no complaints here . Just didn't have time to play lately. But I check the forums whenever I can to see what's happening. Wow, you sure got them metal settings down to a fine art. It's a great collection of lightsabers you got here. Maybe you could start a sci-fi collection.
