This is what we need the TCSS saber builder updated to, those are awesome renders.

Hey Raf!

[Rafalema]

Stang I forgot the stand from these.. :-P

Do you really want the stand?


EDIT: Doubleposting is for evil people. :D

Here you go with some renders with the stand:

I fixed up the picture on the stand where you can see the unrotoscoped blade. This wasn't Rafalema's fault, because giving it glow would have made some weird relfections around the saber's body.

So without further ado:

The builder will never use true 3D anything..

maybe a 3D model exported as 2D statis image of a 3D render...

but nothing will ever be true 3D.. (for the builder)..

using better images (ones created in a 3D app) for the images that are dragged around is possible..and has been mentioned many times before..

also a true 3D perspective of each single part was/is in the works.. but as with all things.. time permitting..
