Glow

I just got a hold of 3ds Studio Max 4.2 and the tutorial section went bang! Can someone please explain how to add the hero glow to me in detail... I am a newb with modelling.

you dont need 3dsmax to add hero glow, you can do it with mdl editing, i'm not sure how but theres a few tuts in the forums on the subject.

thanks anyway, but i didnt have to edit anything

i just used cookie's hero glow pack

with a few simple triggers the hero glow changes colour depending on what player you are.

Actually, if I read the tutorial right, you make a material, composed of 2 layers. One is the skin, and one is the black and white. Black lets team color through the skin, and white is transparent. There is more detailed information in the "Warcraft 3 Art Tools Documentation" file.

I am also pretty sure you can do it with alpha channel on adobe, but I don't know much about that, but it is a possiblity if you can't get the other way to work.

that, unfortunately, does not add weapon glow, only the base glow, and can add unessisary stuff to the map. It depends on what your doing mind u, if ure imported a model from outside its easyer to put the glow in with mdl, if ure using an in game model, use the glow pack.

lol i dint even notice there was a glow on the weapon, shows how much ive been playing ^_^

i think one or two heros lack it, but most of them have weapon glow.

i guess ill just use the base glow until cookie's weapon glow pack comes out :D .
