Sean's Revised Energy Sword

[Sean Bradley]

Thanks guys... ;-)

I guess now I'll have to set my sights on the Halo 3 sword.

true... hope that you'll have enough room in there for the extra lighting

 

[Sean Bradley]

There should be... I have a few ideas about how to replicate that new lighting pattern... but it's going to be tough....

..back to the drawing board! ;-)

Well, lets say that last night Link and I got into custom games in the Beta and shot some footage of the Halo 3 sword... and maybe all the Halo 3 weapons... :mrgreen: All I have left to do is screen capture the footage.

Yar mateys, we've shanghai' the beta for weapon references!

Ahoy! :dee:

 

[need4destruction]

so were did u get the lighting in the sword and how r you defusing is? :Steve: ( im thinking of using wax papper)

 

[Sean Bradley]

The lighting is blue EL wire. You can find it here: http://www.coolight.com/category-s/53.htm

The lighting is sandwiched between two pieces of plexiglass with channels cut in the interior. The clear plexi is frosted with gloss white spraypaint to diffuse the light.

I wouldn't recommend wax paper.... for one how are you going to get anything to stick to it?

That is sick, i can never do something like that.

 

[musicin68]

i think i'm gonna recomend this proj to my teach as a class project next year if its fine wit u Sean. My only quarrel is that it has to pulse, i cant tell if yours does, does it? well if not i'm going to build my with a pulsing circuit in it so that it glows in a random/static order to give it some life.

 

[Redsleighdown]

It pulses.

 

[Long Shot]

is there a vid of it pulsing, not that i doubt you i just want to see how it looks

here it is

 

[Iceman29]

Have mercy, Its cooler than I thought when your seeing it in action.

The slow pulsing is probubly the best thing about it, seeing that the real energy sword in the game pulses the same way at the same speed.

:wowie: Still, very unbelievable
