Obi-Wan's lightsaber from Episode 1. This has been an ongoing study project for me as I learn new parts of blender and practice materials.
Any comments, suggestions or questions welcome.
Thanks. The knurling on those buttons was an exercise in frustration for sure. This is the method I ended up using, but had to modify it quite a bit to get my subd modifiers to work correctly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mqma1y1rzw
Johnson Martin's tutorial works quite well for the knurling on the red switch, and I wish I had come across it sooner. Keeping that for future projects. Thanks.
Only thing that would need changing for the yellow button is that they are flat instead of pointed on the outside. Other than that, it's perfect.
Ok first of all that looks absolutely amazing, i love the little attention to details and it pretty much looks real. However i have a question, this is something i've wanted to learn myself but I haven't been able to find the right tutorial but how do you make those little bumps on the red and yellow knobs

Hey, I though you might be interested, I made a tutorial on how to do something close to that here:
