Modeling the Skywalker Lightsaber in Autodesk Fusion 360!

Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions about this workflow in the comments below! :)

Thank you for sharing this video. I used this project as my first practice to understand the basic 3D modeling in fusion360. It take me 5 days to complete this project with totally new in 3D modeling software. Even though the video speed is very fast, it still includes all the needed manipulation and full of joy with creating something amazing from 2D blueprint. It's really great to see my own creation more and more complicated and elegant day by day. This sense of accomplishment is unspeakable and make me try to do better and learn more afterward. Thanks a lot.

Well that was a fast build, amazing to watch. I hope I can do this after following all your tutorials :)

Wow, very exciting tutorial!

Very cool. I’m starting to learn fusion and this helped.

[@TheFusionEssentials]

Awesome - glad it helped!

The Fusion Essentials I’m trying to decide on the best software to use. Our clients want us to begin learning CAD/3D animation- they will have projects consisting of industrial machines and how they operate, and a little video/animation showing the machine in action. Example, like a cotton gin spinning or something. So it wouldn’t involve characters or movie effects, but more machinery equipment. Do you have suggestions of what software to use for that?

[@TheFusionEssentials]

You can do some of this in Fusion 360 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2jRnZxjaJJ3aKM - A lot of the answer to this is how complex your animations need to be. If you just need things to spin about an axis and other simple movements, Fusion is a great solution. If you need more complex things, it's a maybe. Thanks!

I love your videos, i just discovered these. They are crazy helpful. It looks like you stopped uploading about 9 months ago. Hopefully you come back. I'm looking for more insight/information into components, how to make them, how to interact with them, and generally everything else. My ONLY criticism is...I've only watched like 5-10 of your videos so far, and i learned a lot, but if there was ever a video to not gloss over, it would be this one! I'd have loved an hour long detailed video on how you did all this....even though I can clearly see how you did it, I love more info. I really have no business saying that. All your shit is awesome. Please make more dude. You're good at it, and you make a lot of people more confident using this software. I actually am getting promotions at the machine shop I work at because now I can do basic modeling from watching these. I've tried other people's tutorials and I just do better with yours for some reason. I now make more money dude. Thank you.

how do you get the picture on fusion 360, I keep having to switch between tabs

Hi is there any chance that you could send me the result on fusion?
