I still feel light sabers are still a display referred phenomenon. If they actually emitted enough light to flare like that they'd light up the entire room.
@GiantCowFilms It could make a halo if the model were designed for it.
@GiantCowFilms Point is that it is the exact same issue. Same as fire.
@GiantCowFilms Most folks hack fire to include a colour ramp to white, yet if you look at a typical fire there is no white in it unless you manage to allow your eyes to fully adapt to it as a sole source.
The actual white core of fire ends up being a convention we have learned from photography.
@troy_s I've rework my website a bit, not finished but there are new (old ones) commercial images with filmic, different style from the bathroom and shorter timming to do the job. http://www.studios-cad.fr/ @David if you're interested.
