Thor's Glow

I asked XNAaraL to add a new render group for my "selfish" purposes and he suggested that I use Thor's glow for a model I'm working on. Anyone care to share how this works?

I think its like handgunhandright stuff, I checked a Lara model with thors glow and this is what is shown:

thorglowgauntletleft
1 # uv layers
1 # textures
thorwireframe_diffuse.png
0 # uv layer index

Its just one texture with thorglowgauntletleft/right or thorglowbelt.

Oh ok, it's not gonna work for what I'd like to do then. Thanks!

What are you gonna do exactly? You may try to use an emissive group maybe but I don't know if that will help you to make what you actually need.

Hi Veronica, I'm actually currently using group 30 for the meshes that I wanted to glow, with masks on the parts that I don't want to glow. Unfortunately that group only uses 3 textures: diffuse, normal and emission. The rest of the model gets to use proper light maps and spec maps, which makes it a bit uneven. I was asking for a similar render group but with the ability to use custom light and spec maps for the non glowing parts, but I think XNAaraL might be having some difficulties implementing something like that.

I initially tried to use duplicate emissive meshes but I don't think it's practical to use something like on the model I'm working on because of clipping.
