Hi again, Yes SVG are very useful. Blender imports SVG files directly and allows me to convert the image into a model mesh which I can "extrude" to give the logo thickness. I used the trick to model the Klingon Empire logo on my Gre'thor hilts and my versions of the Bat'Leth. You will see SVG modelled logos wherever there is a Jedi or Sith logo on my hilts too.
I did not know you did a bat'leth i try and not repeat your work themes

Hi there, don't worry, it was a few months back now but I did built a Bat'Leth. My first version had a "double blade" arrangement but I later removed the smaller secondary blade. I also built it using my old laptop and version of Blender so it looks VERY grainy because I had no graphics card, but if you'd like to check it out you can find it (and my Klingon Gre'thor hilt) using this link: http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=40017.msg731704#msg731704You can see the double blade version in the previous posts directly above this post.

Yeah, you two need to spend some quality time discussing techniques and results... maybe even collaborate (though I’m not sure how that would work). You both have such amazing ideas, and you both do such a great job of translating the ideas into something the rest of us can appreciate! I look forward to seeing “iron sharpening iron” here, and watch you both improve.

I have never seen the cartoon from which this comes from but I believe it is the Gundam Beam Saber from the cartoon Gundam launched way back in 1979. Hope you like it and thanks for looking in. You poor thing. Gundam is an awesome franchise. Some series get weird, but how can you go wrong with giant robots? You actually made this so detailed that I didn't recognize it. But it is a lovely interpretation of the beam saber.

Hi Logos, don't worry I'm gonna look up Gundam on the website that I watched TCW and Rebels on. I recently checked that site and it even had the animated (fourth) season of Star Trek! Gonna watch that too. I'm glad the details look sharper on the hilt the new Add-On I downloaded for Blender seems to work a treat. It allows me to cut out recesses and grooves etc by using a "form section" and the add on subtracts the form shape from the hilt and makes all the edges nice and clean. Thanks for looking in and the kind comment - a point on it's way to you.

Hello Everybody, It's the weekend again and that means it's new saber time! I have just uploaded a MASSIVE haul of images of some curved hilts I've designed but due to possible issues of it looking "similar" to some "other sabers" I won't be posting them here so as not to cause confusion or issues. Soooo what can I post today instead? How about these couple.... I have never seen the cartoon from which this comes from but I believe it is the Gundam Beam Saber from the cartoon Gundam launched way back in 1979. Hope you like it and thanks for looking in. Wow... WOW This is just...amazing! Like Logos said: the details are incredible And I would love to see these "other sabers" (if possible)^^ Point!

Hi guys, just a quick preview of my latest build which features in my new mini-movie! I have a few other ships and about 7 more sabers to come so stay tuned.

Thank you kindly. I reached a bit of a milestone with a project I have and needed something different to celebrate so I built the FTX-Wing. And I even remembered to add navigation lights. I also have a recreation of an iconic scene from ANH coming soon. It features my squadron, Emerald Squadron and a certain trench run! point for the comment, thanks. EDIT: I also just realised I passed the 80,000 views mark!

And I'm sure you will too with the progress you have made. I saw your attempts at battle scarring and I will try and find out if it's possible to create scratched paint on the edges of the damaged parts for you. (I think if you bevel the edge of the topology around the "damage" you should be able to add an exposed metallic texture to simulate the scraped edges)

Thank you sir, I have taken a different route to modeling these sabers as of today making a bunch of smaller elements instead of emiiter -body - pommel and carving them up this should make uv mapping easier

This is incredible, FT! REALLY looking forward to seeing your other projects Hi Dutch, well today is your lucky day as I am about to preniere my mini-movie masterpiece. It won't win any Oscars or Emmy's but it was just meant to be a little celebration of me reaching 500 posts on my website (I have been blogging for four years and posted roughly 500 designs). Anyhoo, back to the FTX-Wing...first up a quick 360degree flyaround…
And what should I do with an X-Wing?....Take it on a mission of course...time to suit up!....
Ok, it has a passing resemblance to the Trench Run Attack scene, but everything you see I built and animated even the Death Star. (I watched a documentary on how the Empire built their space station and connected the parts together....it was Rivetting ) Thanks for looking in on this one. And stay safe!
