light up model?

[kylemb]

ok im not sure if the topic that was posted meens the same as this one but how do i make something on the model light up. like say i had a gountlet, and i wanted "power" comeing out of a spacific point in it. the power i want is a red light. so how would i make the red light look as if it was comeing out ofthe arm pice??

EDIT: should i just constrain the light inside the models arm and have a transparant part red?

well, i am not too sure about adding a light inside a somewhat transparent piece in a model, how about adding ambience to make it glow red?

I am not sure what you are after... but you could although try Glow. It is a surface-property.

It wont light up other models but it looks nice on the model itself. A combination of a light and this surfaceproperty can be nice too...

The red is set by a % pose slider you can keep it on as long as you wanted: the sample is teh same model three times notice each doe the red glow differently based on the pose setting
