3D Curved Saber

[Koza]

Did some fiddeling between client projects (which is why no sabers have been done... bills to be paid)

Slight redux to an old saber. Was my first shot at something completely organic, and I think it turned out pretty good. Was thinking to make a bone like texture. What do you think?

The first version:



New version:




p.s. sub-division is fun, but can be a pain in the butt

Those are pretty cool man... 8) I really like them both... leaning toward the first.. What are the specs?... How much room do you have inside to work with?... That bit in the pommel could be lit up yes?...

[Koza]

Possibly ;D

Right now it's just a shell, no internal surfaces, and it isn't scaled right anyways. This was a originally a speed modeling practice for design purposes. Maybe later I'll redo it. But for now, designing is a fun pass time.

For the red piece in the back, it would be cool to have a round multifaceted type stone. Or something to that effect.

Coolness..  8)

How many polys?

[Koza]

Thanks!

 6,570 before sub-d, 104,928 after 2 sub-d iterations

Thats Wicked!

Looks like a fantasy/tron/lightsaber.

How are you going to make it?

[Darth Matth]

Bone would do it right I think.
This is something out of the ordinary, which is always a good thing.
Can't wait to see this working.

[Darth Centorus]

sorry can't say much as I'm drooling to much over those designs  ;D, they remind me of Kamino :D
