This is Lukes First Lightsabre given to him by Obi-Wan.
I included a picture of the real prop that I lifted(hey it was in my
cache...)
from starwars.com. I'm still not quite happy with my lighting...

This was the first time I really tried playing with media so there's
probably a better way to do it...

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

                color_map {

                        [0.2 color rgb <1, 1, 1>*55]
                        [0.4 color rgb <1, 1, 1>*55]

I forgot to mention that this Blade doesn't work with a bright
background.
It effectively disappears. I expect the white part of the blade to be
lost
against a white background but not the blue glow.
I'd be interested to know why.

Emmision level. Try adding emmision with scattering and you are less likely
to wash out against a light background.

Scattering or absorption. I recommend the latter, actually. Renders faster and
I don't believe the blade of a lightsabre is made up of scattering particles.
Anyway, in either case it's very difficult to balance emission/absorption
components just right. Good luck.

I've been watching StarWars yesterday, and I have a few comments.
1: The handle (or how is it called) is super-realistic.  I would really like
the source of that for my StarWars collection! However I think this looks
more like Obi Wan's lightsabre.  I think  Luke's lightsabre looks more like
Darth Vader's lightsabre (but I'm not sure at all).
2: The blade should be whiter and less conical.
3: Is the first image raytraced? It doesn't really look like!

Hey, great job, that's excellent!!!

Did you know that they shattered 500 of those in one day of shooting for
Episode 1?  Wow, talk about smashing them... (BTW, it's worth the download
of the 2:30 minute trailer @ 25Mb...  EXCELLENT!!!  Can't wait to see it on
the big screen!!!)

I've just downloaded it for the second time.  All I get is sound.

It means you haven't got the right decompressor for the video... a common
problem with MOV files...  If you're running through a Microsoft program,
forget it, they never have the Sorenson MOV decompressor...

I suggest running it through Quicktime's Player.  (you don't get as much
audio ripping either)
