How to make a model glow?

by Mark · in Torque Game Engine · 04/14/2006 (9:47 am) · 4 replies

Hey, how would I go about making my object glow in dark areas? I don't want it to create any light on the edges like a lightsaber, I just want it to be bright and visible at night

Hmmmm you'd want to set the surface in question to have self illumination. That'd of course be something to do in your modeling application. Or there may be ways of dynamically doing that with the Lighting Kit.

Possibly... I'll screw around and see if I can do anything.

Would it be Ambient, Diffuse, Specular or Emissive?

Maybe ambient.

diffuse is how much light it refelects. usually affects it's color
Specular is fake reflection of light

and i dunno what emissive is.

It was emissive. At least I think, it's working as I wanted it to now :)
