This package contains new hilts in both standard and staff form. They are very nicely done, looking very smooth and well shaded. They are a very simple shape on the exterior but the glass 'windows' let you see inside to where the blade is created - at a crystal held in place by several spike clips.
The single saber variations have a nicely rounded end instead of the standard flat end and are quite darkly colored.
The staff hilts all are colored according to the blade they are best used for - see the screenshots to see what I mean. The only thing I noticed was at the very end there is a small slit gap in the mesh you can see particularly well in the purple blade below.
The blade itself originates from the tip of each crystal - inside the hilt where the glass is which adds a nice touch, it's much better to see a blade come from inside than magically appearing hovering over the end of the staff.
Good, clean staffs all round!

Description : This file will give you 2 new single hilts and 6 new staff hilts with windows to see the glowing
saber crystals.
Comments : This is my first attempt at hilt modeling. I like the staff weapons so I started there.
This was primarily a staff hilt pack but I put the singles in as to not leave anyone out who
liked the look. The shaders seemed tough to work with at times but they came together well.
Enjoy!
