Hi guys, can anyone please tell me how to make a simple cross saber? Im kinda new to Blender so I dont no much:D
What is a cross saber? Could you provide a reference picture?
well i would start from a plane and go further on that but if you don’t know how to make a sword you should look in to http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro#Beginner_Tutorials after you have done some of those you are sure to know enough about blender to make mostly what you want. you don’t have to do every one of them but do the basics. gl hf:D ( not easy to be new to blender. )
Four interlocking cylinders with halo effects and a few extra features here and there for detail… by cross-saber, he means a four-way lightsaber.
A four way lightsaber? That sounds dangerous, not to mention impractical… sweet!
Here’s an older tut I found on the old Elysian board, you can probably find it on BlenderNation too, never mind, found it - blade tut…

Use that for the blades ( don’t be afraid to mess with the halo sizes and settings once you have them set up to tweak the look ) then just use any design you can come up with for the cross handle, make sure the center for your handle is in the middle of the model for animation, parent that to the blades, then enjoy lightsaber swinging satisfaction.
Good luck and post some results, I’ve done a few of these and they turn out really cool!
