Well, I was messin around today to see what I could do with my [newbie] modelling skills :P. ANYWAYS, I decided to make a lightsaber- Vader's saber to be precise. It's a real crappy model I'd imagine, since it's my first model ever. So constructive critism is greatly appreciated.

The textures are really bad....i couldnt get the UVMapping right, so ill have to check that out. All i did for those textures was use silver and black :)

If you say your a bad modeler ONE more time, I will bash your face in with a sharp wooden stick.
Really good for a first model, dude! Keep it up.

Looks nice. ;)

When you release it, release a Kyle sabre replacement and a JediMod / OmniMod mod compatible version. :)

I'll help you with that Brodin. If you don't want to skin it I can and I'll zip it up and host the file for you.

Unfortuneately no. That Ultimate Unwrap 3d would be perfect. If only it were free! *sigh*
