Lightsaber Finale

I finished the lightsaber! The rendering was pretty easy, and I am proud of the way that it turned out. I really like the handle. I think that that's my favorite part. I also like the chrome on the handle.

The Handle

The Blade

Lightsaber 4

Today I worked on the lightsaber some more. I didn't end up getting very far because I started doing the coloring wrong, but I hope to get caught up soon. It hasn't been too hard thus far.

Lightsaber 3

Today I finished modeling the lightsaber in Maya. I still need to render it, but I'm quite happy with how it turned out. It was pretty easy, just a bit tedious.

Lightsaber Part 2

Today is the second day that I've been working on the lightsaber. It saved! I finished the handle with minimal difficulty and then began working on the nubs at the bottom. Nothing has been too difficult so far. It should be finished soon enough.

Lightsaber Project Day 1

Today I started modeling a lightsaber in Maya using a blueprint. So far, it's going pretty well. I've had no major troubles, and I expect to finish it pretty quickly. I need to go back and make sure that I've beveled everything properly, however. I actually don't believe it saved, but I can easily redo it.

Blog Day

Today I was working on my other blog. It is documenting the production of my digital painting more closely. I got a lot done, and I added a lot of new content. I like how it's coming along and I'm almost caught up with the blogging. I'm liking my progress. Here's a link to the blog: http://bigproject101.blogspot.com/

Final Lighting

Today I finished the lighting project from a few days ago. I had to add a rim light and adjust the positioning of the first spotlight. I also fixed the camera positioning. I tried to make the shadow more prominent, but I can't say that I was successful, but I'm satisfied with the results.
