This is my second test at making a lightsaber in Blender. Still not perfect, but getting there.

Awesome! How you did it?!

@lunatizh Can hardly remember now, to be honest. Something in the halo options of Blender back then. Not sure if it is still in there, or changed/replaced with something new.. But, if I remember correct, make a line with many vertices inbetween it, and fiddle with the halo option. THen add some motion blur and you should be good to go.

nice You use halos? hmmmm if you do that how do you do motion blurs

[noxHand]

Halos, yeah. Motion blur is in the rendering options, where you select size and output, etc. You can enable it there.

Not bad. I actually came up with a really good way of making lightsaber blades with Blender3d. I'm not a Star Wars fanatic, but I was trying to think of ways to do them. I might post a video showing at least what they look like. If I have time, I might make a tutorial too if anyone is interested.

[noxHand]

Please do! I'd like to see more tutorials for Blender all the time :D

[blackninjamonkey1]

do you know how to reflect halos because ive made a lightsaber too and got a reflective plane underneath but only the handle reflects, not the actual light bit. It would be great if you knew :) nice vid too

[paulosbruzzi]

Is there a way to add lighting in the place of the texture? or you have to make a high light and conect her with the saber by armature or parent? :)

[lunatizh]

@noxHand Thank you!

[moviemastersdk]

U guys should see my new blender lightsaber, no halos used, only added glare and vector blur

[kidsweekly]

yeah read the title

[TechnoExpert1]

nice job, but you should make the animation with a rig , like i did, i used Ludwig, ans scale the bottom of the beam down in edit mode, its cutting through the handle, like viking55330 said.
