This is one of the three lightsaber designs I was asked to provide to ILM for our tenth anniversary CG trailer promotion for SWTOR. Being asked to design lightsaber assets for Industrial Light and Magic was a great honor for me, a high point of my career!
This is Sa'Har Kateen's lightsaber, as seen in the Disorder trailer and available in the SWTOR Cartel Market. For this saber I wanted a more sculpted and refined, elegant fresh look as this was for a new character we introduced in 7.0.
This was modeled in 3DS MAX, painted in Substance Painter. Concept, model, material and textures, vfx and animation all me.
