Applying shader glow to a player character

#1 You'd use a material with a glow on it?

(The orc's eye does this.)

#2 Glow[0] = true;

#3 I am a serious noob when it comes to (TSE) graphics so forgive the dumb questions for a while.

Yea like the car TSE demo you guys have it cycle between various shaders.

There is one sequence where it glows white.

This would be good for like casting a spell on a player character and you get a temporary glow driven by the shader.

The GOOD news is that I ordered 2 shader book so I'll hold off on a lot more questions till I learn enough not to ask REAL dumb ones.

Ok so the Glow true goes into the HLSL or somewhere else?

EDIT: I think I am trying to Run before I can walk so to speak lol. But I am really pumped on this TSE potential.

#4 Actually, i found out today the car doesnt cycle between shaders. For each shader they made a different car in a different room. When you click for the next shader it takes ya to a different room.. tricky ;)

randy, check this out. it explains how to use the procedural shaders in TSE.

#6 Off topic but funny...

I got reamed on IRC by some random dude for "being out to trick the consumer" by making seperate cameras/rooms/cars and that "I'm no better than those swine at Vivendi" apparently. :)

Truth is, while it'd be possible to switch between shaders with the proper programming talent, it wasn't really necessary and Brian & Ben had much more to do and worry about two days before IGC than something like that... :)

#7 :) haha how odd... It was a tech demo, not a alpha build. I wonder why he cares so much.

#8 I actually thot it was brilliant.. :)

For god sakes Game programming is ALL ABOUT smoke and mirrors..come on!

#9 Aww, im sorry i revealed the sneaky secret off GG and the room changes.. ;) some people are just a bit over senstivie i guess.. heh
