For Tyeth Blender 3D Concept Sabers

[For Tyeth]

As always For keeping the creative wheel turning!


How fitting you might have a little outpost on the dark side of the moon watching for sneaky sith! (Meanwhile I have been stuck between the anvil if work and the hammer of studying and get a lot of 503 errors trying to see the forums) Like the death star moon comparison too.

I've always wondered what your workshop might look like, the sanctum of the saber smith if you will a thought for another time perhaps.

And a good job piecing C-3PO together. Joining the company fellow threepio assemblers Anakin and Chewbacca. Even got the silver leg and the hand and semi exposed internal details.

One always wonders about the red arm in The Force Awakens, perhaps the greatest mystery of the sequel trilogy

Hello Everybody, hope you're all doing well. As you can see from LSG's comment above, he wondered what my humble dwellings looked like so I have created a kinda "Virtual Tour" of Tyeth Towers. Sorry if this is a bit of a photodump but my flat is quite large.









The apartment is built from the deck structures of two starship bridge sections and houses my workbench and computer station along with a collection of old hilts I've built. A scale model of a Star Destroyer LSG may recognise is guarded by C-3PO. And in the "Living Quarters" section is my home cinema with TPM playing on it and oh yes I have a Dejarik table that doubles as a mission briefing table. I also have a "Saber Gymnasium" where I practice my forms etc but that is just an open space with holoprojectors to project "enemies" for me to battle and a couple of stands to hold sabers when not in use and recharge them.
Anyhoo, just thought you'd like a peak behind the curtains of my operations.

Finally managed to log in against those 503 errors. Interesting to see the workshop where the magic happens and thanks for the callout with the destroyer. Very spacious with a familiar star ship style.

I presume the clean and orderly nature of the workshop is because your little companion Babu Frik hasn't had a chance to play in on there yet! Got the dejarik board movie screen and everything ready for some breaks between saber designs and some nice hilts on the wall.

Hi LSG so good to hear from you! I promised you a sneek peek into my little world and I'm pleased you liked it. I could have filled this apartment many times over with the amount of stuff I've modelled over the past 10 years or so. I do my best to keep things tidy...but it isn't Babu that is the problem....it's this guy....

Mrs Tyeth saw him lurking in a shop nearby and picked him up for me! Him and Babu are a nightmare together

Anyhoo, I hope you and your clan are doing well and thanks so much for breaching the forum's glitches and taking time to check this out!
Point incoming.

So how badly would your computer flip you off and storm outta the house for trying to incorporate ALL of your renders? Including some speeders AND one particularly notable holocron?

If I attempted that I think my laptop would turn itself into a pool of silicon, solder and burnt chips!

I started using this current laptop in March of 2020 and since then I have filled my Blender Models project folder to the point where it contains:
12,560 Files, 1,265 Folders
Which equates to:
35.7 GB (38,337,082,055 bytes)

The laptop itself only has 250GB of storage so that's over 10% used. Then there are the files I lost in past crashes and the "death" of my first two machines and you can see how much I've done in ten years. (I've had to obtain a couple of external SSD hard drives to back everything up now).

I still have the speeders....I'm working on rebuilding the holocron!

[Darth Logos]

UGH! You lost the 'cron? OUCH! You worked your hands to the bone making that piece of art.

Not gonna lie, though, seeing your virtual flat brimming with sabers would look phenomenal.

Yes sadly the original 'cron was lost when my last laptop bricked up....BUT from the burning embers a NEW holocron has risen! I have rebuilt it but am at the difficult stage of adding the Sith Code runes to the surface. Getting the text to fit was a pain...but I'll finish it as soon as possible.

And just to keep you entertained as I work here is a SMALL part of my collection....

And I had built these before the movie even released in theatre!

Hi Everybody,

Just a shout out to let folks know I'm still around. Not a lot happening at Tyeth Towers, just been working on rebuilding these for Logos.







Might have the "new" versions ready for next week.
Hope everyone's doing well.

Very Sithy indeed. It's like one of those puzzles in primary school -how many triangles in this picture - pyrmids within pyramids certainly has the aesthetics of a holocron made by a refined precise Sith lord with plenty of time and resources (or sufficient servants perhaps) to dedicate to form and function.

Hi LSG, good to see you again. Well this holocron was "built by Logos" so it should be intricate. It certainly did my head in when I modelled all the text onto the frame of the windows.....oh and i don't have any servants!
Glad you like it and I can let you into a little secret....I may have improved on the original and given it a bit of a twist! I'll try to post it this weekend (3rd Oct).

p.s. sorry if this posts twice but the forum glitched as I hit post the first time.

Ummmm.....might want to double check your phrasing. By adding "up" you completely change the meaning of the phrase.

It's still so beautiful.  I've been trying to think of ways to actually get this fabricated IRL. But my inner Taurus isn't going to be happy unless I can get the frame work at least gold plated.

Sorry I haven't been around much. My brain has been fried fixing up the new Logos homestead.

Oh, the lore I've put behind this gem is absolutely worthy of the annals of the Sith. In its upright position it dishes out basic knowledge, stuff pretty much any Sith knows. BUT, if you put a different vertex up, different knowledge is presented, ensuring that only those with complex reasoning would be able to master the complex wisdom of the holocron's creator.

Yeah,....I nearly gave him a heart attack when I told him that my original intent was to have 16 units per leg, to really show off the fractal design.

Glad you like it and I can let you into a little secret....I may have improved on the original and given it a bit of a twist! I'll try to post it this weekend (3rd Oct).

-¿- what are you doing to my 'cron?

Hi there, I had an Android tablet that failed and when I looked into getting it fixed a lot of folks said "Oh your tablet bricked up? Yeah that's it then you can't fix it." So I thought "bricked up" was an Android technical term.

And  I appreciate hearing from any and all of you whenever you have time to spare. As long as you are doing well I am OK not hearing anything...I know you will contact me if/when you can or need to.

And don't worry your 'cron is OK and nearly the same as the original (I did have to use a normal text/font this time to get the "Code" text to fit around the frame).
The er, update is a bit of an extension that gives a 'cron a secondary function, you might like it but if not the original version is more or less the same as before (except the text I mention).

Hello Everybody and especially Logos....

Well after a second round of headaches I can now present the rebuilt Datachron for Logos. I hope you approve....






This holocron is a complete rebuild from base to tip of the pyramid. It is also much more solid/accurate - when I built the original I built four separate sides then arranged them to fit together by manually positioning each part but I've since learnt the tools/functions in Blender 3D that do the hard work for me. One such function is called the "Array Modifier" which allows me to build one side panel then using the modifier Blender creates the other three sides and arranges them around a fixed point - this means all the edges line up and there are no gaps between parts.
I also expanded the base a little to form a pavillion with panels on each side for the inscriptions. Unfortunately the Sith style hieroglyph font I used on the original didn't fit as well on this model so I used a regular font that did. But I left Logos' name in hieroglyphics.

Oh and I built an expanded double 'Cron that acts as a "base station" where one 'cron can be detached and carried by Logos into battle then after a mission or trip the 'cron is replaced onto the base and downloads the data in it. And it also acts as a cradle to store/display his saber!

Anyhoo I hope everyone likes this one and I'm off to find a nice dark room to rest in and recover from building it!

(p.s. I actually enjoyed building this but Logos, if you really want the Sith font inscription let me know and I'll switch it back as best I can OK!)

Thanks everyone for checking this out.
