This one brought up a few questions at the 3dtotal.com forums. A few people were trying to figure out who Lightsaber this belonged to. Heh... I modelled it after the spoon I got in a box of Apple Jacks cereal. (It was given to me for my birthday just so I can get the spoon... what a nice friend!) Anyway... here's my 1st Lightsaber for the challenge. Modelled in 55 mins... about an hour or two for many test renders.
I've never 3d modeled a saber, but I've built plenty in RL.
