Lightsaber Test
My very first attempts at lightsaber effects. Hopefully I'll manage to get good at this.
This belongs in the "WIPs and Tests" section. See YouTube for my comment.
For future reference, this should be in the Tests and WIPs thread.
Got it, thanks!
Looks pretty good!
In general, I try to keep the effect slightly larger that the physical prop.
Here is one of my lightsaber tests as an example.
I'll keep that in mind, thanks!
Good, but As ZP said the blade/core needs to a bit bigger than the actual prop. I also think that there needs to be more glow! 
I disagree, make the core(white bit) thinner(very slightly) and replace it with/add more glow.
Ideally, that's how a lightsaber should look as from the films. But those are to scale with real people. This lightsaber in this is to scale with Lego minifigures. I shouldn't of said bigger than the prop, it should be the same size.
I tried it again with some of your suggestions. And, yes, I am aware of how the blue blade looks.

do you have a lego lightsaber stick? I think the core should be no bigger than that
EDIT: it looks very good.

Thanks! I used GIMP.

Exactly. It should be the same size so you can't see the prop.
And Lego838 that looks very good.
