    I have read through this thread: http://dawn-of-eternity.com/community/threads/glowing-markings-preset-maybe-scrolling.223/#post-2067 and looked through the materials and resources posted there, including Myz's tutorials and the preset video tutorial. I have figured out how to manipulate the glow factor for markings, but I am still having trouble understanding how to make the eyes glow. I reviewed the code to asymmetrically manipulate each eye and have attempted to play with that code to achieve the goal of making both eyes glow (same color) without success. Admittingly, some of the technical information is confusing for a person just starting out. Have I overlooked something? Is there a glow code specifically for the eyes?

    This is the material file I currently have in my folder:
    Code:
    texture nahual_nahualpreset.png
    tex_address_mode wrap
    filtering trilinear
    }
    }
    }
    
    material nahual_nahualpreset
    {
    receive_shadows on
    
    technique
    {
    scheme glow
    pass
    {
    texture_unit
    {
    texture marking1.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 nahual_nahualpreset.png
    tex_address_mode wrap
    filtering trilinear
    }
    texture_unit
           {
             texture fur2.png
           }
    }
    }
    
    }
    This is what is everything in my "preset" folder:

    heh, well i can tell you this:
    Once you have made your preset to you desire, have a blank/transparent file JUST for the eyes that can over lap your preset and make them glow.
    As so:

    As you can see, I have the preset (named snuggypink_champagne.png) and the glow file separate so it over laps the preset in order to glow the way I intended (named champholy.png)

    The coding is a bit tricky as well, but if you would like help i'll be sure to pm you the correct coding to use

    I figured out how to save the markings in a separate file and overlap them like you suggested. Problem solved. Thank you for your help!
