Glow problems

[StarTehWolf]

Okay, So I made a glow preset. It turned out... not how I wanted. I wanted the fur to be like not custom, like if you made a custom. It didn't glow either... So I need help. It turned out like this:



Also, the blue around wasn't supposed to be there. Thanks.

It really depends on if you got the codes wrong, what program did you use? And maybe a brush glitch.
I heard, you need to save the glow as a .png on a sperate layer to .jpg Body or whatever.

}This only workds on preset_6 unless you change the numbers to the folder you're working with!
"Ambient" is what makes your markings glow. I set the numbers to 0.2 because I wanted a dramatic glowing effect, but if you don't want an effect as hard as this, just set the numbers to 0.5.
"Ebmessive" is for the colors. It's set to the full color mode. 1.0 0.0 0.0 is red, 0.0 1.0 0.0 is green and 0.0 0.0 1.0 is blue.
You can play with the numbers to get different effects.

This is how you make a glowing preset:
1. Draw your preset without the glowing parts. (Just color the whole reference, don't leave any parts transparent or anything!)
2. Save it as a .png file.
3. Draw the parts you want to glow and leave the rest transparent.
4. Save it as a .png file.
DONE! ^^

If you don't know how to name the images, just look it up in the code.
Hope that helps :3

Am I aloud to change it to number 10? -3-

[Ruby1234]

You change anything that says preset_6 to preset_10.

And the ones that are images, make sure you use the name you gave the images.

[StarTehWolf]

Okay... Now this happened. :|

I have exported it, and tired to put it on my character. Instead it just shows the Yellow and Black. Any suggestions?

[lingling]

try to use gimp for preset and map making

[StarTehWolf]

I got it to work. But how do you make a white preset, under the glow preset? I colored the thing white, but it made it base/tan. Help? :] Thanks guys.

[Asheyx]

What do you mean with "a white preset under the glow preset"? Do you mean how to put the main fur under it?

I guess so.
