Cgi and nick Gilliard not in The Original Trilogy

Aha, but therein lies the trick. Metal texture is not something custum. Just look at a pic of prop lightsabre and your animation. Compare and see how different it looks.

The props have imperfections and are more dull. I tend to see my made lightsaber as being immaculate, but for realism I would have to consider the "used universe" thing.

Compared to a mint replica the textures are pretty close though.

Maybe you should start bij making your blacks really black.

And the lighting is quite different. It's clear that one is animated and the other is real.

I like the current black I have. It is reflective. I also like the lighting, but that is just me.

Well, there ya go then.

Yay! Mace's lightsaber would be fun becuase of all of the metal types and bling on it.

Go ahead.

Eh...maybe later day.

It would be a fun project though.

Indeed.

Don't they have lightsaber tutorials on youtube for things like photoshop?

Yeah becuase we all love the slow lightsaber fights and Mark's acting of the original trilogy.

If you don't like the Prequels you can shut up and not buy them on DVD.

Or you can voice your opinion and buy them on DVD to ***** about it. Either really.

Don't even get me started on how they spanked the Classic trilogy at the box office. Then you would say "Wahh everyone saw Episode I becuase they thought it would be so much better.." Yeah that's why II and III also did way well and we all saw it 3+ times at the theatre.

So? No one is denying they were successful.

If you can't already tell I enjoy all 6 Star Wars films, as a true fan I follow Lucas' vision as being legit. Sure I may not agree on some things in some of the movies like everyone else but that is too bad.

Meh, you are not a true fan for that. Of course Lucas has the rights over his own creation, for now. But what's the point you are trying to make?

It isn't like 4,5, and 6 are all perfect films. We all have our opinions but it all comes down to what the man in charge wants. That's what we get. Live with it.

We might just as well read fan fiction. Or EU. We can get whatever we want, mate. I really don't see your point though, you seem to have taken a point about the PT not being as good as the OT and made it about what Lucas wants...well, Lucas' desires don't make a movie better.

Three words: Howard the Duck.

The PT was successful for a reason. They were not bad movies. Bad movies bomb at the box office. People liked the Prequels enough to see them multiple times at the theatre, or atleast I did. lol

So I am not a true fan? What defines a true fan? Your own personal opinion right? Go suck on a juice box I have a larger collection than you. Hahaha.

EU isn't so bad at times, most of it is odd, but whatever. The 6 movies is where it is at. The two trilogies make up the Star Wars saga. If you don't like the PT we are waiting for you to make them better...common man...upload your videos asap.

I think so. I am not sure if Photoshop can do animations though, but I am not familiar with the program so I don't know for sure. I have heard Adobe After Effects can make superior lightsaber effects but I have always used Corel Painter, which has more of a rotoscoping way of doing things.

Photoshop lightsabre is easy. Rotoscoping is harder and more time consuming.

I never tried any Adobe methods. Rotoscoping is a challenge at times. Give me a good sense of accomplishment when I am done though, I feel like I did it the old fashioned way. 🙂

What, you gotta go frame by frame with rotoscoping, right?

Yes sir. I usually have about 30 fps (frames per second) It looks the best and it pretty close to most good video cams.

Damn I bet that takes weeks to do a single fight. No wonder the releases are stretched so far apart, lol.
