[Blazemann]

What software do I keep seeing used to make pictures? Like the one for the Obi-wan Hilt, and the Tight-Fit design.

I used this (http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com/showthread.php?t=3122) thread, cut and paste in ms paint.
And this (http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com/showthread.php?t=3679) one, to make this render as well as a few others,

Using the parts that Arkai rendered in the first thread, and tips in Corbins tutorial, combined with MS paint, it makes rendering fairly simple.

if your looking for the rendered msh parts, here's a temp link to it on my photobucket,it will only be posted for a short time(it's not my property) i couldn't find the original post, but maybe this is what you were looking for.... maybe someone could post the original link, since i can't find it...and i would rather not post another persons work and present it as my own....I only posted it to serve this thread....all apologies to the creators (Corbin Das made the first render) for reposting

Arkai's pictures are here:

Re-compressed JPEGs are fuzzy with a bunch of pixelated artifacts. Use his original BMPs for best results. Bookmark the thread Er Dan linked to for updates and other peoples' variations/additions.

If anyone has any ideas/suggestion on graphics to theme/use for the LAYOUT of the new saber builder.. I can put out a 80% completed saber builder..

you can choose a section to load the part options...pick one..and it will be on the screen so you can drag parts to build a saber.

I havent worked on updating the parts list..or mailing...or saving you build/saber (to come back and re-build or show to friends/Tim for quotes)
