Okay thats it thats the poll and comments, questions, etc. are welcome.

HIPPIE BLADE!! it looks cool even tho its a mistaje

Man that Hippie blade look awsome will you be placing a link for it download?

Great work!!!

sometimes the accidents end up being pretty cool huh, well the reason none of my mods are up for download is because I still can't register for pcgamemods.com if I ever figure out how to that is probably where my mods will be!

I'm all for the skinny blade, but like the others have stated the hippie blade is sweet.

How did you do the coloring to get those results? Using like a 40 brush diameter and flow set to 100% then using a like 20 or 30 brush diameter for the internal and striping colors throughout it? Or?

They look great btw, I have made some similar to that though I have yet to master the technique of it.

*Edit* Could you post the tga of the saber if that's not a bad thing to ask that is. am trying to master lightsabre modding so I can move on to Armor and then other things. Appreciate any help!

To JackJJackal:

Okay if you are talking about the coloring of the Hippie Blade Jackal for the color I was just screwing around, anyway what I did was go into MSpaint create a new 128x128 pixel image fill in with black and then put a white circle and filled the middle of the circle with black. Then I opened it in a picture editor and messed with the gamma correction and all the colors just popped out..lol

As for the other blade colors I didin't get a quality photo editor until recently, so all my blade colors I made through MSpaint and put into a simple picture editor and blurred them about 5-7 times to get them to blend better and then I stuck them in the game and it was as simple as that.

So in other words as far as photoshop or something I haven't really used it for blade colors because the other method worked great for me, but what I do sounds similar to what you are talking about. I make a big circle of a certain color and then I'll make a circle about half the size of the bigger one and put it right in the middle. Try to use colors that you think will mix good though cause I've made a yellow-purple combo that looked awful so I dunno......LOL

Good Luck,

a good idea mightbe to get a colour wheel , you usually can pick them up from paint stores , basically just a wheel with colours on it , complimentary colours next to each other , contradictory colours opposite one another

might even be able to find one online , ill take a look see and post any results here

PCC: Aaahhh! Hippies! Kill them all!!

Though I find this thing very comical, the blade was SWEEETTT!!!
