hey just passing through. This sounds like fun - but as i’m new to 3D and visual effects - although just completed my first last night - i’m wondering what rotoscoping is for one - and how you get that lightsaber effect effect for two.

Keep up the good work - well done

^tutorial of mine, have fun!

C’mon 2 more days to go!

I am about half way done rotoscoping my video. I might need the extension to the 12th. I can always post the first half though…

Hey Azmisov on the Composition forums I’m still looking for a reply from you…(RGB problem thread, very lightsaber related)

Sorry, I forgot I posted in that thread. If you are using a mix color node there is an ‘a’ button for alpha. However, if you are using a clash effect when the lightsabers meet, it wouldn’t matter if the colors mixed.

(If you look at star wars movies on youtube, the lightsaber colors always mix when there is no clash)

You can also turn on the AllZ button for your renderlayers. That way it won’t render the part of the lightsaber that is intersecting another lightsaber.

The challenge is officially going on till the 12th!

Okay guys, I decided that today the saber contest is over at 9:28 A.M. I forgot about the challenge so I extended it to the twelfth. Now I’ll enter all your images to a voting thread and we shall continue voting.

So which is it. Did it end at 9:28 AM or is it going to the twelfth?

It ended at A.M 9:28 :frowning: Sorry.
