Glowing Skin Color?

[GravidusPB]

Are there any mods that use the glowing creature colors for skin color? I've seen yellow and green in game and think it would be cool if the player could be his own night-light.

howdy!

what an interesting thread idea you've had.

as a Nuka Break and ghoul fan from way back,

it would be fun to see different glow effects.

shows somewhat what might be involved for that approach,

which in theory applies to player meshes as much as to anything else. :smile:

they got it working for nuka colas, so maybe you can get it to work for

player models?

 

choose some areas that will glow,

make the layer transparent in the mesh,

and glow from there.

 

there were also a few

"player character as ghoul with ghoul perks from the start of game"

type mods, though those seem to have petered out...

 

we're still working on a

live facegroup-plays-.flv or .mov or .gif from a drag and drop folder mod,

though in theory, you could maybe do that too for the character -

make it play an animation over the top of their base skin,

for different glowing effects without the simulation resources other techniques use.

To actually get at your question, yes there are.

Whilst I can't say for certain, I would wager that the way crimsomrider achieved this was simply adding the skin as an equipable item and then ensuring that armor piece had a glow map as well as specular. Honestly, its something I've considered doing before but just put aside since I had other things on my plate.
