So, for the glow, would ambient be the base (blue/black/purple/etc.), and the stars be emissive?

Do you have separate files, like a base and then animated stars overtop? Or are they part of the same file? If they're separate, then yes, that should be how it works.

No, they're on one file. :/

Then it would be difficult to have the base dark and the stars glowing if it's the same file.  You can try altering the ambience and emission anyways, maybe it'll still give a nice glowy feel to it? I'm not sure, I always used separate files for my glowing textures.

It doesn't really matter, it'd just be cool for the stars to glow. xD


just curious, how many slides did your moving preset have on the body?

Oh, and can i repeat files as slides?

I'm planning on keeping up night and day longer than the transitions, so can i just put: preset_2tail15.psd preset_2tail15.psd preset_2tail15.psd, or do i have to make/copy individual slides?

Mine had 24 different files just on one body part, with one reused file, though it wasn't back to back. You should be able to repeat a file like that, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Great! Right now I'm almost to the blue of sky, and I have 45 slides. xD So far on the tail, though, it's going smoothly. I hope it won't mess up like it did last time.

Is there a specific code I should use for the body? Because it, unlike the tail code, has 2 sections of code: BodymatL, and bodymatR.

I got it to work! only with flashing black, and white, of course.

Anyways, I think I'm going to take a break for today.

You just repeat the code for each section. They should be the same, unless you want different sides.

Congrats! I hope it keeps working for you.
