Suggestion: make the wall red, tone down the luminosity of the
lightsabre, so that to either side of the image you can see the red of
the wall, and in the middle the green glow on the wall from the
lightsabre.  

I think that you'r probably our resident lightsabre expert now.

except for the fact that when I put the sabre in with the dragon I can't
get it to look right at all.  <sigh>

This is just an opinion from the original lightsabre boy (that's me). I was
able to get it right, and I don't think you have it right either. It doesn't
glow correctly. It does look great in the center, I'll hand you that. If you
observe the movies, the width of the glow changes depending on distance, if
you are close it is wide, if you are far it is thin and sharp. I'll look up my
old saber and see if I can improve it with your stuff. Mine was already set up
with macros. I also used sphere-sweeps.

The problem trying to use the movies as a guide is that the "light" of the sabres
were post-production - i.e. drawn in after the scene was shot. The glow effect in
the movie is then not entirely accurate compared to how the physics of a
lightsabre would actually work. I might be wrong (long time since I last saw an SW
flic) but I don't remember the sabre being a strong light source, at least not for
as bright as they shone. I worked on a sbare in a previous thread and that was the
challenge - how to make it shine without being a light_source.

<shrug> your opinion.  I never said I had it right, I said I was happy
with it.  I take looking good and what I want it to look like over
correctness.  <shrug>

That's one of the perks of being an artist, Scott, "correct" is in the eye
of the beholder. Noone ever told Salvador Dali that he did something "wrong"
(at least, not that anyone took seriously).
