Functioning "Slimmers" using Fake Pilot?

[+ace888 327]

I have tried to make a functioning slimmer using the fake pilot.  Unfortunately it does not show up glowing at all once place in game.  Does anyone know for sure making a slimmer using the fake pilot method does not work?

 

The glow does show up when I render it... but not in game.

 

 

Thank You

are u using selfilluminating modifier on material ?

To clarify this, the slimers DO show up in game, but are just not glowing?

The settings in 3ds Max have to been set exactly like this, or they won't work.

I'm not sure if there is a hard coded limit to prevent pilot models to use the self- illumination, but when you use these settings, things should get clear. If it works, there is no limit, if not, then there is some kind of hard coded border.

Yes, I have tried that... no go.

Florian, thanks for the example...  However, I am not sure what I am suppose to look for on your "exact" setup that you have posted?  Do I have to "unwrap UVW" to see the result?  Because so far I have just completed all the parts that I wanted and wanted to add the "slimmers" alone with it...

 

I do want the slimmer to "glow" not just show up on the game.  

 

Just to let you know, my 3d Max skill is still pretty low on ability...

The important things are to NOT set a checkmark on the self illumination under "Blinn Basic Parameters", but to have it set in the "Maps" section of the material editor.

What has to be in both sections, is to assign a texture on both diffuse color and self illumination. Using the unwrap function is the vital operation to use the texture mappings.

If you want, send me the max file with texture in a personal message and i'll have a look at it.

Florian, thank you... I see your Map section of the Material Editor.  Almost understand it now...  Heading to work, I will get back to you in a few days via PM and send you a short setup.

 

Thank you very much.
