You just loop the flash, over and over again. Vary the opacity a bit to give it some flicker.

Later on, they were able to make televisions retain an image longer, but the interlacing had become standard. It all actually runs at 29.97fps (drop-frame) because the electrical current doesn't cycle at exactly 60/second. It's more like 59.94 cycles.
No, TV's did originally run at 30fps(60i) but when they invented color TV they had to "make room" for the color signal, hence the drop to 29.97fps(59.94i).

I use dorkmans flash when the sabers collide, yes. But when they are locked, as in being pressed together for a certain amount of time, how do you achieve that flare of constant light?
I normally take a still of the first frame of dorkman's flash and then make it smaller than a normal-sized flash, and have it track with the center of the lock. Maybe even add some wiggler-ization for the size.

I think Aurellia should get a least an honorable mention on those sabers, yes? :P not actual credit, but an honorable mention

Yes, very much so. I've sat through your lightsaber tutorial about five times; its not short.
But very very helpful. I should have it completed soon and you guys can give me some advice on how to make it better.

PM's usually better than hijacking threads, but I'll let it slide.
You're referring to THIS, I assume?
Thing is, if you read the news on the main page, you'll see that the site is not finished yet, so, in fact, that 3ds Max tutorial isn't even done yet. I know, totally lame. But, here's a deal. I'll note that you requested for it, and make sure BenMcEwan gets on finishing it soon enough for you.

I haven't had much luck finding it, but does anyone still have the footage of Ray Park and Nick Gillard?
