well, I never tried glowing weapons (I glowed a clone instead), so I don't know about how it looks, but I'll trust you :yes:
I know that thing with the trail, but I'm not sure if a white trail is fitting a black blade, and black trails don't work (they become invisible)...

Basically the idea I posted before, so this works.
Now I know how to do it, so I will make a HD version of it. :)

Cool, so I will release it as a normal blade, a short blade and a bladelike shaped blade (as Pre Viszla had in TCW) version then. :)

He made the blade itself a mesh, a part of the model rather than a texture.

Well, both the handle and the blade are just quick models for testing purposes, I will now work on different blade models which you need to attach to the hilts.
So that you can use whatever hilt you like for the black saber. :)

EDIT:

Released!
