Hi, I’m pretty new to texturing, so I’ve got a question:
How could I make the sights of a gun texture glow in the dark?
Hope this isn’t a stupid question, I don’t have much texture experience and I’d like to build my knowledge
Open the texture file of the sight, create a new layer and fill it with black. Paint white areas where you want the model to glow(the white-marked part
of the texture will glow). Delete the texture layer and save it as a vtf. This will be your glow texture.
In the VMT for the sight’s actual texture:
“$selfillum” 1
“$normalmapalphaenvmapmask” 1
“$selfillumtint” “[3 3 3]”
“$selfillummask” “file path of glow texture goes here”
you can also add the illummask as alpha channel to your bastexture
hooray tritium dots :awesome:
Looking forward to seeing the turnout. Maybe when you get the hang of it, do a bit more glowing texture on the weapons for an aesthetic look.
You know nothing of tritium!
NOTHING!!!
