    Sorry if that's the wrong place for this thread.

    So,i always wanted to make some of my character's markings glow in the dark,like,no recieving shadows in night etc. Anybody knows how could i make it?

    My thoughts...Am i thinking right? Does it work like adding different color eyes,like,adding texture of the markings (well but there's no script etc....) and then making it "emissive" in script of preset?

    OR

    Anybody knows how to make Scrolling markings on preset?

    Something like this would make the marking1, marking2 and 3 produce its own light. Didn't test this but it should work. I also made mark2 scroll and mark3 rotate

    Code:
    material myz_test
{
   receive_shadows on
   technique
   {
     pass
     {
       ambient 0.95 0.95 0.95 1
       diffuse 0.6 0.6 0.6 1
       specular 0.1 0.1 0.1 1

       texture_unit
       {
         texture myz_test.png
       }
     }

     pass
     {
       emissive 1 1 1 1
       texture_unit
       {
         texture yourmarking1.png
       }
       
       texture_unit
       {
         scroll_anim 3 3
         texture yourmarking2.png
       }
       
       texture_unit
       {
         rotate_anim 5
         texture yourmarking3.png
       }
     }
   }
}

    e.g if you just wanted the glowing code, remove your marking2 and 3 so it'd look like this:​

    Code:
    material myz_test
{
   receive_shadows on
   technique
   {
     pass
     {
       ambient 0.95 0.95 0.95 1
       diffuse 0.6 0.6 0.6 1
       specular 0.1 0.1 0.1 1

       texture_unit
       {
         texture myz_test.png
       }
     }

     pass
     {
       emissive 1 1 1 1
       texture_unit
       {
         texture yourmarking1.png
       }
     }
   }
}

    if you wanted scrolling you'd get rid of marking1 and 3, and so on and so forth

    Try doing this
    Code:
    material myz_test
{
   receive_shadows on
   technique
   {
     pass
     {
       ambient 0.95 0.95 0.95 1
       diffuse 0.6 0.6 0.6 1
       specular 0.1 0.1 0.1 1

       texture_unit
       {
         texture myz_test.png
       }
     }

     pass
     {
       scene_blend add
       emissive 1 1 1 1
       texture_unit
       {
         texture yourmarking1.png
       }
     }
   }
}
    or this

    Code:
    material myz_test
{
   receive_shadows on
   technique
   {
     pass
     {
       ambient 0.95 0.95 0.95 1
       diffuse 0.6 0.6 0.6 1
       specular 0.1 0.1 0.1 1

       texture_unit
       {
         texture myz_test.png
       }
     }

     pass
     {
       scene_blend alpha_blend
       emissive 1 1 1 1
       texture_unit
       {
         texture yourmarking1.png
       }
     }
   }
}

    It should look glowy if you go to a dark map. It should work, I might test later.

    replace the text in your .material folder with this

    texture karkat_test.png
    tex_address_mode wrap
    filtering trilinear
    }
    }
    }

    material karkat_test
    {
    receive_shadows on

    technique
    {
    scheme glow
    pass
    {
    texture_unit
    {
    texture yourmarking1.png
    }
    ambient 0 0 0
    diffuse 0 0 0
    specular 0 0 0 1
    emissive 0.20 0.1 0.10

    }
    }


    technique
    {
    pass
    {
    ambient 0.95 0.95 0.95 1
    diffuse 0.6 0.6 0.6 1
    specular 0.1 0.1 0.1 1

    texture_unit
    {
    texture karkat_test.png
    tex_address_mode wrap

    the file names may be wrong, you'll have to check to make sure they're correct.
    Names such as karkat_test and yourmarking1 may be different on your end and you need to make sure they're all corresponding correctly.

    have you read some of the tutorials on the site?
    there's a video here http://dawn-of-eternity.com/community/threads/how-to-video-on-making-presets-and-item-presets.319/

    and a thread tutorial here http://dawn-of-eternity.com/community/threads/how-to-create-a-preset.23/
