added some textures to the saber...still not completely happy but i think its heading in the right direction! re-modelled the handle to get the curves right...it actually looks just like the plastic-model i made years ago now ;)
still a lot of noise at the emittter end so i guess i will have to up to 4000 cycles for a final render :(
need to work on the background....spent so much time on the saber it was a quick throughing together of textures...
Blender, 2000 cycles, 20mins render time (GPU - nvidia gt550m)
