Interactive / Dual Phase / Color Shift / Split Blade Builder
This tool will allow you to build Interactive, Dual Phase, Color Shift or Split Blade Base styles with a wide range of effects and colors.
Interactive blade styles allow you to implement a wide range of "story telling" or "mini video game" styles that react to how you're using you saber to create a much more immersive and video game-like experience. There is an ever-growing list of Interactive options in development, each with unique abilities.
Dual Phase blade styles have two separate blade effect / colors that are toggled through multiple control options. These will allow you to build a custom "Dual Phase" preset or create a "Bleeding", "Corruption" or "Pull to the Darkness" style.
Color Shift blade styles blend two separate blade effect / colors into an ever changing blade style with multiple control options. You can create truly unique blends and mixes for the most unique responsive and interactive styles possible.
Color Blend styles allow you to blend two separate blade effects/colors as a fixed or rotating effect.
Split Blade styles join two separate blade effects/colors onto a single blade creating a half-and-half blade effect.
Mirror Blades allow you to join two separate blade effects/colors into a reflected blade style based on your choice of center point and control
Vortex Blades allow you to join and blend two separate blade effects/colors into a unique blade style based on your choice of center point. and control.
Event Horizon Blades allow you to join and blend two separate blade effects/colors into a a unique blade style with a "Black Hole" at the center with your choice of center point and control.

Canon / Standard Styles
Rotoscope
I've based these styles on the "Rotoscoped" lightsaber effects used in the Star Wars films. There are multiple variations: Rotoscope (uses RandomFlicker), Audio Rotoscope (uses AudioFlicker)., Subtle has a very subtle amount of movement, Light is a less dramatic effect, Subdued is a slower rolling variation and Erratic randomly jumps in and out of motion.
While breaking down the films to create the Rotoscope effect I noticed, particularly in the original films, that while the blades are being swung and moved the blade animation would be replaced with a stable color (most likely due to fewer frames to be able to add animation). I've applied this concept to the new Hyper Responsive Rotoscope styles, as you swing the animation will slow or stop depending on the speed and acceleration of the blade movement. In addition, the amount of time the blade animation takes to return is based on the inertia generated by the swing. The faster and larger the swing the longer the blade will take to normalize.
Each of the Trilogies had slightly different effects so there are 3 versions: Original Trilogy version has an undulating flicker effect that varies randomly or based on audio, Prequels version had a slower undulation and Sequels version has a faster, more pronounced movement than Original Trilogy.
If you wish to further adjust flickering, select "Two Color" option and adjust Alt Color using Edit Mode or ProffieOS Workbench (the greater the difference between Base and Alt Color the more noticeable the flicker becomes).

Star Wars Visions The Ninth Jedi (Interactive)
These are new Interactive Styles from Star Wars Visions - The Ninth Jedi. In this episode the sabersmith has created sabers with crystals that get their color and strength from the connection to the Force of whomever wields it.
Margrave - This style is based on the scene where the Margrave uses the Force to take a saber form one of the Sith, once he grabs the saber it instantly changes from Sith Red to Jedi Green in his hands and the intensity and power of the saber increases based on his connection to the Force.
Kara -This style is based on Kara's journey, her experiences lead her to unlock the full connection to the force. When first ignited the saber will be dull and have a slower pulse. As she battles and blocks and deflects the Sith attacks her connection to the Force is unlocked. Based on the episode after 10 clashes the potential of the crystal is unlocked and her next lockup will be the tipping point and her saber will unleash it's full power. (Do 10 clashes to unlock the crystal's full potential, then lockup to release the power).

Elemental Styles (Fire, Water, Smoke)
"Responsive Flame" Fire Style
This is a new updated version of the "Responsive Flame" which reacts in real time to the orientation of your blade. When the blade is pointing straight up the flame effect will be at it's fastest and most intense, then as you lower the blade to horizontal it will slow. If you tip the blade below horizontal the flame will begin to shrink and slow as if turning back towards the hilt as a real flame would. When pointing down the flame will be at its slowest and smallest.
This version also adjusts all effects while the blade is horizontal so effects will also shrink and remain within the flame effect itself, note Drag or Melt will now occur at the tip of the fire, not the physical tip of the blade if below horizontal.

Interactve WaterBlade
New INTERACTIVE blade effect designed to mimic flowing water. While the saber is parallel to the ground the blade will remain tranquil, as you point up the water effect will flow from the tip to the hilt with increasing speed and as you turn the blade towards the ground the water will change direction and flow from the hilt to the tip with increasing speed. In addition, the blade responds to inertia so large upward swings can temporarily reverse the flow of water up but gravity will take back over after time. The more inertia you apply the longer the effect can fight gravity.
Select Style Options
NOTES:
This style is best paired with the Gravity Ignition and Gravity Retraction effects to add even more realism.
This style is best in Blue or DeepSkyBlue color

Eye of Sauron (Lord of the Rings)
For all of the Lord of the Rings fans out there. I have new take on the "Eye of Sauron" featuring an ever-present "Eye" in the middle of your blade (for Main blade).
The style for Secondary, Crystal or Accent is a matching fire going up the blades.
There are several versions available for controls and movement, you will want to match the position for Center In or Center Out Ignition and Retraction as well as Preon or PostOff if you choose so the effects all stay in synch.
Center - the Eye will remain in the center of the blade
Twist Position - the Eye will move up and down the blade based on turning your hilt
Blade Angle Position - the Eye will move up and down the blade based on Blade Angle, moving up when blade it pointing up and down when pointing down
Select Style Options
NOTES:
This style uses a "Red" Base Color, if you edit the color all colors will adjust automatically.
Hyperspace
This style is designed to mimic the look of hyperspace from the viewport of the Millenium Falcon, with a mix of Blues, White and Silvers streaking from the center of the blade towards to the ends. This pairs perfectly with the "Jump to Hyperspace" Preon Effect and "Exit Hyperspace" Postoff Effects in the Enhancement screen.
Select Style Options
NOTES:
This style has built-in White and Silver effects. The best Base color to match is "Blue" which comes by default. You can edit colors to change if you wish to modify highlights.
Fett's SeismicCharge
This is a new blade style based on AOTC and The Mandalorian scenes with the Slave I seismic charge weapons. There is a "Seismic Charge" preon effect that will drop the seismic charge to the center of the blade and then I am using a Center Out ignition and Split retraction to complete the effect (these will be chosen in the Enhancements screen). Depending on the font you use you may need to adjust the timings on the preon to allow for the animation to complete, there is meant to be a very quick disappearance and silence just before the blade ignites to finish the effect. The base effect includes a White Flash on ignition to simulate the initial explosion, if you add Power Up effects this will be obscured.
Select Style Options
NOTES:
The best Base color to match is "DodgerBlue" which comes by default. You can edit colors to change if you wish to modify highlights.
ThunderCats "Sword of Omens" (Interactive)
Based on the 80s Cartoon the "Sword of Omens" blade style features a unique "shimmer" effect when moving around and a brand new "Interactive" ignitiion effect to recreate the iconic sword extension in the original series.
"Interactive" Effects wait for you to interact with them and do specific actions when you do. The "Interactive" ignition will extend the blade 1/3 of its full length with each swing during the interactive period (set below). So this blade will require 3 swings to full extend the blade. After the interative period the blade will extend itself if it has not been extended. For best results you'll want to set the Interactive Time tobe long enough to give yourself time to complete the 3 swings or set to 0 and use with n out.wav sound file that is at least 20000 ms (20 seconds). The original intro cartoon scene was approximately 22 seconds so the library recommends 22000 ms.
NOTE: You will need to allow the Interactive timer to complete.before retracting the saber, retracitng the saber before the ignition sequence is complete can cause the hum to remain on due to the ignition process completing after retraction.
Select Style Options
NOTES:
The Interactive Timer sets the duration of the "interactive" period for the style, once this period ends the blade will finish it's ignition effect automatically.
This style incorporates a new Interactive Ignition Effect, for best results use "Instant" as the Ignition option to allow the interactive layers to show properly.
This style looks best in Silver, the Eye of Thundera will default to Red but uses Alt Color for editing.
*Set to 0 to use out.wav length
