I'll try get some clips going on youtube when i can.
In the mean time i've decided to repaint the actual saber cores in some scenes rather than just redoing the coloured glows. Heres an example where you can see Count Dooku's blade come to a fairly precise point.
So here's a basic redone blade I drew - I've done the whole shot already so i know it looks fine in motion.
With the original blade masked out we have a nice clean looking blade now....
Now the reason for the black is so that when we add the nice red glow, it will look like a nice red glow ;)
without the black the red glow would be kind of faint / weak.
It took me a little while to figure that out but it's how i've done things in the last several previews...
