  • Lightsabers are awesome, but not all of us have After Effects. Today we're making a similar (and maybe even better effect) in the free 3D software Blender in less than 5 minutes.

    I'm a big Star Wars fan myself and I've always wondered how to do stuff like this. I am ALSO a Video Game Design major and college right now, and finding out you can do this stuff in a free program that I heavily work in is so awesome! Great and simple tutorial, taught me some cool tricks I can potentially use in the future!

    Tip if you want it to look as good as in the video,
    check the lighting it isnt as low but as powerful which gives the best effect, if the light in your scene is too powerfull then the saber will be difficult to see and will give the effect that the saber kindof dissapears, while if the light is too weak, the saber will just look artificial and png like,
    this also aplie if you have an actual glowing lightsaber and what you are doing is masking the light out of them.

    okay so uh, ive encountered a problem, so i render it exactly as you say, and yes it does render, but not at the positions I rotoscoped it too, for example i did a video of a guy swinging a sword, i rotoscoped it, but when it renders its no longer on the sword, its tracking the same animation and the top of the screen. what do i do???

    Really solid! They way the brightness dims near the end of the blade on big swings is awesome!
    Do you have any thoughts on adding a random flicker to the brightness of the blade and on the diameter of the blade mesh itself? I'd say that's the biggest thing missing from the effect at this point.
    Really awesome result!

    • @Phoenix2.5D
      @Phoenix2.5D 8 месяцев назад

      A way you could do this is probably displacement modifier and animated noise map. I haven't done blender in ages though, so just, give it a shot, but don't be too confident in it.

    For me, when im in viewport, my video takes up the whole camera as it's suppose to, but when I render it, my video is smaller than it should be, so my CG lightsaber doesn't match up with my real lightsaber. Can someone help me?

  • @danielradu5619
    @danielradu5619 2 года назад

    Great tutorial! At the final steps where the image sequence of the lightsaber and the footage are connected by a screen node, the lightsaber isnt fully integrated to the final video like in your tutorial. It becomes a bit transparent with the Factor of the screen node at its maximum. The image sequence of the lightsaber has been rendered just like yours.

    • @lisaborkowski6456
      @lisaborkowski6456 Год назад +1

      ctrl alt 0 sets the camera to where you are in the scene. Before you set it try going to top view and then hitting ctrl alt 0 to bring it up. Hope this helps!

      select the top face, extrude, maybe 3-4 times, and with each extrusion, scale it down a bit until its smooth.

    Hey, do u leave the Render on standard or filmic ?

    • @skylinex4719
      @skylinex4719 2 года назад +1

      render on filmic, because then the lightsaber glow looks better.
      then, when you re render it after compositing, change it to standard. This way, the glow is already set, and your vidoe footage is not changing color.
