making a Jedi Light saber?

Has anyone ever seen a website that explains how to make light sabers using photoshop? I asked around on this one message board on another PS tutorial site, but the people there went very willing to help me out. I was wondering if you guys knew any links to websites that explain it?

heres one http://www.teamphotoshop.com/photoshop/tutorials/techniques/saber/saber.htm

i was hoping to find a tutorial to make a light saber that looks something like this:



but thanks anyways for the link!

Just make a selection, fill with white,
Make a new layer underneath the first one, fill with red, and gaussian blur it... Should do the trick.

I want to know how to do the handle on the lightsaber to though.

I need more detail then this, but thanks for telling me how to do the first part.

The handle shouldn't be much of a challenge either. You just need to break it up into several parts. First, for the main body of the handle, just make a rectangular selection and fill it with a gradient. Then just add in the details that you see in the above picture.

yeah your right, I can probably do this without a tutorial, im still a n00b to PS6, so I keep wanting to have everything explained to me. :p

dont worry toolfan, we were all the same as you sometime
