As i wait for my first saber i thought i would play around in my 3d program and maybe attract other such artists, I present the "Lux"  a simple but elegant saber

And immediate point! Simple yet attractive. Looks like a comfortable wield too. Im happy to see another one of these threads pop up! Keep the designs coming and for similar stuff check out these

For Tyeth's thread http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=40017.0, FT is a Blender wizard and the king saber smith in the fanart section

And my own thread http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=41788.0, I do more pen/pencil and paper stuf, so its not as detailed but im usually pretty quick on the "draw"  if you'll excuse the pun

Greetings HesaHeart,

Great to see another digital artist posting! The Lux definitely fits the bill as "elegant" - I like the slanted windows (especially difficult to model on a curved object).

I was just trying to work out which software you use 

Thanks for sharing and I look forward to seeing more designs in future.
point incoming

photo shop for textures and rhino 3d for models

[For Tyeth]

Hello again,

I haven't seen Rhino 3D before, I thought maybe you were using Fusion 360 or Autodesk's software.
I'll have to look Rhino up.

its an engineering app i use for work

The Sanguine

[For Tyeth]

I just had a quick search online. Yes it was originally created to do design modelling in the marine/ship building area. It seems to have all the features, texture mapping and bump mapping. Definitely looks cool what you have posted so far.

Thank you it has come along way, I plan to upgrade to v6 when works starts back up as all i can do is work out alone ( i can deal with out working but no classes hurts , Im afraid i will have to spend a few weeks reteaching my students ) and sit here i may as well be some kind of productive ( oh and your no slouch in blender )

[For Tyeth]

That's very kind of you to say, thanks. But believe it or not I only picked Blender up in June 2018, I tried SketchUp but that didn't work for me as it sucked not being able to work with complex curved geometry (you had to pay for a license to get all the modelling tools).

and this time a staff " The Heart"

Rhino is great for drawing but its rendering is weak ( i have tried blender, sketch, max, etc and this is just my opinion i like rhino's ui )

[For Tyeth]

Each to their own preferences, Rhino certainly works for you. And I love the wrapping on "The Heart, I want to do a Tsuka Ito wrap on a few of my Katana builds. But I did model Mulan's hilt recently.



They are very similar.
