Kyle Katarn's Lightsaber

3D ModelNoAI

Kyle Katarn’s lightsaber from Jedi Knight video game series.

Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast happens to be the first Star Wars game I ever played. I’d always wanted to model the lightsaber from the game ever since I started learning Maya in 2002, so it’s a bit of a trip down memory lane (I also wanted to work in VFX for film back then.) My 13 year-old self would’ve been so happy to know that I eventually managed to model it to completion.

Modeling was done using Autodesk Maya 2020 and textured in Substance Painter. The maps for the beam were created using Adobe Photoshop 2020.
