Newbie needs advice
Hello all,
I spend most of my time modelling and rendering sports cars.
I have come into a copy of AE7 and recently viewed a tutorial on creating lightsaber glows on images. I found this simplicity of this tutorial amazing. It could literally save me hours of rendering time in some of my applications.My question is where can I find some tutorials.
Also in the lightsaber tutorial the glow effect was on top of the image. How could I recreate this effect as a background (aura) effect?Also is there any way of uploading jpeg WIP’s to the forums?
Have been messing around with AE7 for about a week now when I’m not tinkering with other projects. So far its unbefreakinlievable.
Love it!!Thanks All

Green check out theforce.net its a starwars fan films website. There are a few great tutorials in there on doing the lightsaber effect in AE. Google lightsabers in photoshop. There is a action someone made that works amazing and has like ten diff saber colors and sizes. All you do is make a line over the saber and hit a action key be it F7 or whatever you set it to. Once you get into a rhythm it works quick.

Don’t forget there are quite a few lovely tutorials here on the COW; just click on the After Effects title at the top of the forum.
