How to make Glow in the Dark Markings on your Presets/Etc

[Ingredient]

I don't quite understand what you mean; "draw them on a new layer above the base layer; you can also just draw them over the UV maps if that is easier. Do NOT draw them directly onto the "base", they need to be separate in order to glow!" You mean, draw them above the base layer with fur texture and all once your finnished then make the markings above that on a different layer? Or delete the base layer with the preset on it and just have another picture file with the glowing markings completely seperate from the preset body? Please help.

How I would do it is just create your preset like you would for any other preset. Then load it again so it's all one layer, add a new layer and start drawing your glow in the dark markings.

When you've created the markings just delete the layer with your preset so you just have your markings on a transparent background

@Whinp
Maybe your last bits(.png) are incorrect and should be .jpgs.
--------------------
Um,okay,so I've done it all correct,and I go use my preset and stuff,but when it's nighttime, I don't glow! Heres my code,is anything wrong?

Code: [Select]

I chose only to have glowing stuff on my body. Also,as a side note,Ficho isn't dark for me. It's as bright as normal daytime in Bonfire for me,
