Title: My first FH preset!
Post by: Akril on February 04, 2011, 07:33:41 am

Hello,

Some of you may remember me from Impressive Title. I was one of the first people to start tinkering around with existing textures to make new ones, so when I finally got on Feralheart, I made a new character with a preset, with a design "quirk" that I had to try many times in order to get it to work, but it's finally working all right now.

Meet Scintilla.

Here's her file - http://www.mediafire.com/?hr3dqu08vww875o (http://www.mediafire.com/?hr3dqu08vww875o)
EDIT (1-5-13): I know it's been a really long time, but when I realized that FH's preset file extension changed, I decided to upload a version of Scintilla using the new format: http://www.mediafire.com/?17egtgn0v912p9d (http://www.mediafire.com/?17egtgn0v912p9d)

If you pay close attention, you may notice something special happen to her in certain kinds of light...

Thanks, guys!

In retrospect, I think I was too vague in describing the "special" quality of this character, so I figured I might as well come clean:

In poorly-lit environments, the pale spots on Scintilla's body (plus her tail tip and parts of her eyes) glow in the dark.

The effect isn't as spectacular as I'd hoped, but I'm really satisfied that I finally got it to work.

Hmm...

Is it just an optical ilusion thanks to the spots being alot brighter than the body or did you really find something in the coding?

Nevertheless, it' really cool <3

It's not an illusion -- the spots are on a different texture layer which isn't affected by shadows and has various other edits so that it always remains brighter than the rest of the body. I first encountered the glowing effect when I was playing around with the textures of items in IT. I was hoping I could fix the textures so that the spots were only visible in poor light, but I couldn't get them to work like that.

Here's Scintilla's code, if anyone's interested:

The textures with "alpha" in their name are the glowing parts.
