I agree with Margus.  Just add another media in the same object (not another
density, but another media), and make it an absorbing media with exactly
the opposite colors in the color_map.  Here's an example for the "Outer"
media (each color = <1,1,1> - previous_color):

#declare Outer = media {
      intervals 2
      samples 1, 2
      confidence 0.9
      variance 1/1000
      //emission rgb<0,1,1>
      absorbtion <1,0,0>
      density {
                radial
                turbulence 0.0009
                color_map {
                        //[0.0 color rgb <0, 1, 1>]
                        [0.0 color rgb <1, 0, 0>]
                        //[0.2 color rgb <0, 1, .9>*15]
                        [0.2 color rgb <1, 1-0.15, 1-0.9*0.15>]
                        //[0.5 color rgb <0, 1, 1>]
                        [0.5 color rgb <1, 0, 0>]
                        //[1.0 color rgb <0, 1, 1>]
                        [1.0 color rgb <1, 0, 0>]
                }
      }
}

I hope this works (not yet tested).

How about if you changed filter to transmit on the interior blade, but
leave the outer blade filter, then change the wave pattern from radial to
planar or sine? Just a thought ;-]

Well, I can admit when I'm wrong...
My VCR was on the fritz when I made this sabre so I was going by a Darth
Vader
calender and sources around the internet.Never trust a second  hand
source.
My VCR is "working" now and I can see I've made an error or two...

1.I'll post my source in the povray.binaries.scenefiles once I staighten
out the blade
(and I do mean "straighten", turns out the blade should be  closer to
being a cylinder
than I had thought, as H.E.Day had pointed out but I refuted in a
previous post
(sorry H.E.Day, you were right).
And...it is Obi-Wan's sabre not Luke's(I've included an image of what
Luke's first
really looks like).

2.Yes you're correct.

3.I'll take that as a compliment! Yes the Handle that is upright, and
obviously the one
with the blade(conical...oops)are both raytraced. The one with the extra
border designs
that make it look like it's inset comes from starwars.com/weapons.

Yeah, I guess everyone was goofing off playing with the sabres one day
and
Jake(young Anakin) put some bruises on people.

>(BTW, it's worth the download

I've had it since it first came out, and I've watched it about a hundred
times
(secretly dreaming that I raytraced the entire thing by myself, and
wondering
how I might do it in reality!!  : )  ).

Thanks!! That's the best compliment yet!! In fact one IS a close-up of
the handle.
Two images are my raytraces, one(the one with the extra border stuff)is
from
starwars.com which I used as a guide to make my own.

When you are finished, perhaps you will consider submitting your model of
the saber to Star Wars: The Povray Collection? You can find it at:
