Light & Dark saber beams

Description
I know we already have this model in the workshop but I didn't want my work to go to waste while I was busy working on it although this model has extra features. I did achieve something in it that no one else has done on this model so make it more worth doing.

=================================Issue=====================================

This seems to occur with some people not all but apparently on some people's end the glow effect either shows white or nothing at all. I don't know how to fix this issue as you can tell by my display pics shows it's working just fine. So if anyone know anything about this and how to fix it I'm all ears.

==========================================================================

So i'm trying to bend as shown in your little tutorial image, but nothing will work. At first I thought it was because I was Screen, not rotation, but even switching to it doesn't work.

For anyone who is having trouble with the color of the saber, the issue is the bloom doesn't export via poster for some reason. You have to go with the export movie as PNG option.

How do you make it Glow? Whenever I spawn it in, It just looks like a long pole and doesn't glow.

As far as I know in SFM the model just glows it don't emit light and there's nothing I can do on my side to stop it from making shadows. It would only cast a shadow if you shine a light on it with shadows enabled.

As I don't do poster art I unfortunately don't know how to sort exporting issues.

Good day, I seem to have a problem with the beam, whenever I try to export my work as a poster, the beam won't show the color of the lightsaber, it only shows inner part (the white line), even though I know I can export it as an image, that causes problems with the lighting (too much reflection). Do you know if there is any way to export it as a poster without this rendering problem? Thanks!

Yo, any chance that you could make it not cast a shadow?

@ThatGuySaucy Something that I've learned is if you uninstall then reinstall it can sometimes fix the textures. Something else you can do is if SFM says that there is another model messing with the textures and it gives you the option to override the old one with the new one or not you always say no. I said yes once and it really messed up one of the models I used and I had to uninstall then reinstall the model to fix it. Those are the only two things I can think of that could be messing up the textures.

Well I'm sorry to have to have to say I probably can't help you with that as a few people have reported texture problems about a few models of mine. Problems that I've never come across before and the models textures work fine on my side so I don't know how to fix it. As soon as I'm aware I'll try help you out but it's been a year or two now and I'm still clueless as to why this is happening to only a few people out of the thousands that use them.
