M'kay good tut for those who don't know how to follow Styx Tut.
This is even more basic then Styx.

Soon I'll make an advanced tut.
Credits will go to Styx and Adrian for teaching me and to me for writing ;D

[eele]

Some things Copied? But anyway nice tut.

[kenefa]

Some things Copied? But anyway nice tut.

what do u mean copied ....

[`Styx]

=/.

[wesman2232]

great tutorial even though I just skimmed it. It seems reliable so I will rate it 8/10 ;)

[Adriann]

=/.

same shit i said rofl =/

[Mr.Lucifer]

When creating a tutorial remember that it's made to learn people something. With this people will just follow it and make it, but it's not sure they will actually learn something they can use later when modeling something else.

Kudos for effort though.

[Kerdex]

Thank you for this tutorial, it really helps a lot.

[alfredao]

Good Tutorial! =]

[X-Weaver]

nice tut =D

[00niels00]

Nice tut!

[Distress]

This tut is actually pretty bad, looks more like a stick then a lightsabre.

My grandma could do better than this, srry.

[Kmod]

I thought it was a good tut, as well as Styx and all the others.
Heck, any blender tut is a good tut in my opinion.

But why is it, that my swords always come out to small or in the wrong position?
Am I retarded or something, what am I doing wrong?

Here's a few examples of what I mean.









Rofl!

[Sycomoto]

... Rofl. You have to find the point at which the handle is sposed to be and the proper size. Import another .elu of a good sword, and align it with that one (Handle an all)

[jamz13]

Download Links don't work, Someon can report it?

[Kingston]

Blender 2 is a really great program.
never been on this forum for ages ! im back guys :P

[Military]

good tut man even better the -Styx couldn't understand him i'll be looking forward to good releases from you soon and how do you do different shapes swords

[[S]pirit]

That is one ugly Lightsaber o.o
Maybe you should just use Textures already in the StarWars Games? D:

[HellSniper]

Dont forget about the Model/Mesh itself.
Watch soem StarWars, so u can improve on ur Model xD
