Glowing eye tut?

[TheLeopardess]

Hello, all. So I am making a preset of a pre-exsiting character that I have. She has one glowing eye(her right, glows yellow) and I can not figure out how to make it glow.. I tried a glowing marking tut, but I couldn't make it work. Her eye is not just a full glow. It has a pupil in it. If anyone knows how to do this, or knows of a tut for this, please let me know.

This is generally a easy preset to do and make as well. Here are some awesome tutorials that I think would benefit you the best.

Coding for Glowey Preset:

Code: [Select]

material preset_10_bodyMatL
{
technique
{
pass
{
ambient 0.5 0.5 0.5
texture_unit
{
texture YOURBASELAYERBODYTEXTURE.png
}
}
pass
{
emissive 1.0 0.0 0.0
scene_blend alpha_blend
texture_unit
{
texture YOURGLOWINGMARKINGSTEXTURE.png
}
}
}
}
material preset_10_bodyMatR
{
technique
{
pass
{
ambient 0.5 0.5 0.5
texture_unit
{
texture YOURBASELAYERBODYTEXTURE.png
}
}
pass
{
emissive 1.0 0.0 0.0
scene_blend alpha_blend
texture_unit
{
texture YOURGLOWINGMARKINGSTEXTURE.png
}
}
}
}

(again we are just focusing on the body right now, full code will be available at the bottom of the post with information on how to customize it for your character, this is just an example!)
Wonderful visual tutorial on how glowing presets are done, also.
I do know when making a preset you have two different saved layers, one being your actual body fur and color while the other is just a png file with the glowing mark you want to shine.

Another wonderful tutorial that helped me when I was somewhat stuck. If these don't work to your best liking then I suggest you look around in the "Members made Tutorial" and see what other thrends have what you are looking for. Hopefully this helps ya some. I always love visual representations to help me with presets.

I tried doing it the way of that coding. That doesn't work for glowing eyes.

Did you make sure that both of your files were both pngs?

Yes. Both files were .png in their names and in the material coding for the preset.

Here is another set of glowing coding you might use. Try this one out

Code: [Select]

material preset_7_eyeMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         ambient 0.5 0.5 0.5
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_7eye.PNG
         }
      }
pass
      {
         emissive 1.0 1.0 1.0
         scene_blend alpha_blend
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_7eyeglow.PNG
         }
      }
   }
}

Remember your regular file is on top and the glowing mark is on the bottem

Thank you, thank you! I can see that it will work, but my coloring for the glowing will just need to be edited a bit. But thank you, again!
