A lightsaber. I do notice that the O-Rings are a little loose, the red button is a bit high and the back three grooves aren't cut deep enough. C&C welcome. Rendered in Bryce, post work in GIMP.

all in all, not too bad. how long did it take to render?
:iconnickelpat:
To make, it only took me around an hour, maybe a little less. It wasn't too hard, just a bunch of cylinders and negatives. It's only my second render that is something other than an abstract.
:iconbenhudson:
cool. i just recently finished doing a well, havent uploaded yet but it had something like 52 thousand objects, took a couple days to render
:iconlogitechadrian:
i don't like the background destroys all. the black elemenst in lightsabers are made out of ruber so they don't make such highlights but i can't say a bad word about the silver. But definitly needs some more work into this one

Wow.... A well... How did you bend the bricks?
:iconnickelpat:
Yeah, the background got screwed up during rendering. It was a less intense blue with water, but something got screwed up. The pommel and covertec clip are made out of a black oxidized metal hence the reflection. And the O-Rings are a greased rubber, that's why I put the gleam on them. I know the metal textures really suck, I'm trying to find out how to make a nice one with a little weathering.

Sorry, my brain was scattered there. I meant:

"Wow, 52 thousand objects. How did you bend the bricks?"

My bad :P >.<
:iconbenhudson:
i didnt bend them to fit the curvature of the well if thats what you mean. each brick was 6 landscape objects to give it texture. i copied them and formed them into a circle and then made multiple layers of them.

Fantastic work man, ^^
