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?

Re: Thor's Glow
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.

Re: Thor's Glow
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.

Re: Thor's Glow
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.
