Problem with glow map

[nexusplanet]

Hey there.

 

I recently added a tattoo to the body texture of my character and now i want the tattoo to glow in the dark. I fired up Gimp and created a new glow map :

 

 

Here's the body texture with tattoo:

 

 

The problem is ... the glow effect is almost not present :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash:

 

screenshot :

 

 

(i bet you don't see it but it is there right below the amulet :biggrin: )

 

Is there a way to boost the glow effect like in Dan's Tattoo Armor Link ???

 

Thanx in advance.

 

ps : sorry for my bad english :whistling:

Does nobody know the answer?

 

btw : I found out that the tattoo in the screenshot does not glow. The tattoo's color itself tricked my eyes. So the glow map has no effect after all.

Do i have to apply the glowmap to the mesh or would it be enough just to create it and place it in the same texture folder?

If i have to apply it - how is it done? Nifskope? Texture Replacer? Something else?

Take a look here.

I already tried that but it did not work for me.

 

I also tried to create a new mesh (in this example i will call it Ring.nif) added the texture to it, added a glow map, importet it in CS to use it as a ring armor. I copied the femaleupperbody.nif to use it as the new mesh.

But now all i get is a transparent upperbody:

Dan's Tattoo Armor does not make my body transparent. I don't know what i did wrong.

Is there a normal map for your texture?
