Mickey 1 Posted July 28, 2004 I'll post some of my PS-ed saber blades when I get the chance, but anyone else with some cool ones they've done: let's see 'em. I'm working on different colors right now, I like this silver blade I did right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CorSec 5 Posted July 28, 2004 I'd do something like that if I were less lazy... I'd need a hilt of some sort though. Yeah...that might be important. And I'm not spending $200 on a fricking Replica. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mickey 1 Posted July 28, 2004 Here's a couple different colors I've done. they're under "(insert color here) blade" in the me folder. Sorry still not sure quite how to link directly. http://briefcase.yahoo.com/michealwillard tried some different looks to the classic blade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GI_Admiral 2 Posted July 29, 2004 Think the best was the silver. IMO the dark and the blue were too fat The Pink fricken blinded me and the silver was almost perfect! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickey 1 Posted July 29, 2004 (edited) yeah I do like the silver best. The pink I was goin kinda artsy and got a little carried away with lighting effects. maybe if I take away the lens flare on the end of the others it would look more natural. put a new dark blade up now, maybe this is a little better Edited July 29, 2004 by Jaerstein Cysse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GI_Admiral 2 Posted July 29, 2004 God yeah the pink hurt the 2nd Dark Blade is cool if you're into that color Beeurd- Yours works now!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickey 1 Posted July 29, 2004 I didn't think a black blade would really be black, since a black light isn't really black ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted July 29, 2004 Well, no, because if it was black then it wouldn't be light... lol, it would be dark. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorSec 5 Posted July 29, 2004 Black would be the absence of light....hence...the contradiction. A 'black' lightsaber? But it looks pretty cool anyway :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickey 1 Posted July 30, 2004 well "blacklights" look like dark purple ... so that's what I was goin for a blacklight saber if that makes more sense? anyways what other cool colors should I try? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tsl 7 Posted August 1, 2004 I tried making a saber blade in Psp 7, but I couldn't figure out how I dunno how to use computers to color and stuff like that... And, apparently, I'm not smart enough to figure it out, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickey 1 Posted August 1, 2004 here's how I do it... make a new layer, or it might do that automatically, then make a off-white (slightly the color of the blade) rounded rectangle the length and width of the inner core. erase the end coming out of the emitter so it matches up with the hilt. I like to use skew if the saber is held at an angle and I also like to add a slight Gaussian Blur effect to it. now make another new layer and rounded rectangle that is the color of the blade and forms an aura of about 2 widths of the core, again erase the hilt end and apply any skewing if needed. Then do a Gaussian Blur on the aura. and that's it. I also like to play around with the opacity of the layers too. Just do those effects and play around with the adjustments until they look like you want them too. I've also experimented with the lighting effects render effect. oh yeah can't forget the lens flare. use a somewhat low brightness, 35 or 50mm for the hilt end and the 100mm for the tip, place them on the end of white core but on the aura's layer.

Tsl 7 Posted August 1, 2004 (edited) Whee! I shall go attempt that, since I'm playing with banner makeage at the moment ^^ Thanks! EDIT: I don't think Psp has a lens flare....oh well, still looks pretty spiffin' ^^ Edited August 1, 2004 by Tsl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tsl 7 Posted August 1, 2004 k, I dunno about it being cool, but here's my first attempt http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v20/twin_suns/redsaber.jpg Hehe, I drew up the cheesy handle thingy really quick, I was mostly focusing on getting the blade somewhat decent.

Mickey 1 Posted August 1, 2004 nice blade, you worked it around the hilt nicely. I'll have a couple more up in my breifcase shortly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
