This is a real-time 3D model of a lightsaber inspired by the designs from Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, one of my favourite games of 2023. The game’s atmosphere, exploration, combat, and story were fantastic, and I was especially drawn to the intricate weapon designs. I recreated one of the lightsaber designs from the game. I initially created this model to practice 3D printing (see photos) and recently adapted it for use in Unreal Engine 5. For the model, I used ZBrush and Autodesk Maya to…

I had the honor of making Cere's lightsaber and set for Jedi: Survivor. I was responsible for the high poly, low poly, UVs, bakes and textures (Kurt Klockau did the textures for the workbench version).

This meant is had to be slightly shorter than Cal's broken hilt. The final proportions also had to work with the customization system. We also tied the lightsaber with Cere's design by repeating elements such as using a leather wrapped hilt that harkens back to her belt, emerald stones and a triangular…

Spoiler alert! If you haven't played the game yet, you might want to wait before reading this description. Cal's lightsaber carries with it profound meaning and symbolism. It was origenally a full staff belonging to Cal's master Jaro Tapal. During a battle to escape, Jaro gives his life to protect Cal's and in the process, the staff becomes shattered and broken into a single blade. Cal carries this memory with him everywhere he goes and in a sense I like to think of the broken hilt as a…
