Saber Glow and Motion Blur Make a very simple material for the core, with no self-illumination. Make the core a separate object from the handle and link to the handle. Animate the handle swinging around so you can test the blurring and glow at different frames/angles. Right click/Properties on the light core and doe this: [object channel 1 and enable object motion blur]

You objective is to get something like this as the sword makes a fast long swing:
