So, I’m trying to add a proper lightsaber to the style editor. However, finding good-looking 3d models (preferably in OBJ format) seems to be difficult. Of course, the models also has to be free to use, or I can’t use it on my website.
Anyways, I thought I’d ask you guys if you have some models that I can use?
If so, post a link, or attach here.
Here is a file that you can use if you would like it is a file that I created from one of my hilts
Unfortunately that doesn’t help me much, because it has no colors or materials.
I can add colors easy enough but what materials are you referring to
I have added colors to the hilt let me know it there is something you would like changed or added Dropbox - Sith Killer Hilt Color v1.obj - Simplify your life
The colors and material are stored in a separate file when using OBJ file format.
(A MTL file usually)
Materials define properties of the surface, like shinyness, roughness, metalicity, opacity and color.
While your 3d model is cool, it’s not exactly what I’m looking for though, I was hoping for 3d models of in-movie hilts, created for rendering, not for mechanics or 3d printing.
This is an example of the kind of thing I’m looking for:
https://fredrik.hubbe.net/lightsaber/test3.html
Although I don’t remember where I got this model from, or if it’s ok for me to use it.
I think I’m just going to make my own 3d model.
Here is what I have so far:
Well, it’s not fantastic, but it’s probably good enough for the style editor:
*I don’t have the skillset but IMHO if you’re going to go that far then design a hilt that isn’t one that’s been done before. Do one that’s unique to TheCrucible.
The design is mostly based on this drawing:
However, i’ve omitted several things to keep it from becoming too heavy to render. (No D-ring, no rivets, no knurdling, etc.) It’s more like a cartoon version, where the idea is to give enough accuracy to make it look good rather than being actually accurate.
Reminds me of Doc Brown apologizing for his “not to scale” town model.
Looks great.
But I did paint it, and it is to scale… 
Although I wish I knew how to do a better job on the lighting.
Very nice.
At the risk of dipping a little fly in this ointment, when I click on the link above, the style editor runs very slowly, and blade style features like flicker levels don’t show up at all as the page can’t keep up. Whereas the normal style editor works fine, so I don’t think it’s my computer or connection.
Is this intended just as a kind of preview to see the new hilt model, or will this become the main editor?
I think that means that I need a button or something to select which model to use. I might also be able to detect low frame rates and automatically turn off the higher quality model.
Thanks Prof. And sorry to keep stumbling on these niggles. I think at this rate I may have to change my avatar to a little black cloud. 
No need to apologize. I need to know when things doesn’t work, otherwise I don’t know that I need to do something about it.
Nudge-nudge, lmk when we can snip-in our hilts if we can get the models. 
Looks sweet and using one of @Fett263’s styles it works fine.

If we’re nit picking a bit, I think the previous blade looked better
Probably accustomed to previous a lot, but it seems the new one washes out colors a bit too being whiter.
