Cycles – 2000 passes.
UPDATE: finished work here! http://cgcookie.com/blender/images/novus/
This is my work in progress of Ryan Wieber’s “Novus” lightsaber prop available through Sabershop.com. He kindly included an orthographic blueprint-type image on the site, so I decided to give it a whirl.
It’s still a work in progress, as the title says…I need to add the cutouts around the knobs and on the back half of the saber, but I figure I’ll wait until the official release of Blender 2.62 next week (or so) so I can use the remesh modifier with some booleans. Also the aluminum knob needs a pattern on the side that I want to do with a normal map, which Cycles will now support.
I welcome any and all feedback!

great work keep going;)
thank you good sir
Pretty good, well done. I would add some more light to the render, maybe coloured, blue or green?
on second thoughts maybe it just needs a blade

Thanks! yea I might add just a touch of color to the final, but I still kinda like the cold industrial look it has now
Nice. That is the old model right? like from episode 4? I made a light saber but mine looks more like the modern ones. And it isn’t all shiney like yours.
not exactly…check the description. it’s a work in progress of this saber – http://sabershop.com/
It’s funny seeing ryan produce sabers after all this time
Good render
thank you
