Animated Weapon Textures

[bencebence]

Hey everybody!

I'm having a question. Can I make animated weapon textures?

Some ideas.

1: I want one to be something like a coloured glow to show up then disappear, then show up again and do this always.

2: I want one to be multi-colored.

2.2: I want those colors to go around, so only one light works at a time.

3: This is the hardest I think. Can I make particle effects for the sword? So something like a mist or smething like this?

Thanks in advance,

bencebence - take a look at how the skin works on a flame atronach. I believe someone said it was an animated dds file, which cycles through the animations. You should be able to use the same technique on a sword. However, it you want LIGHT from the sword to match the glow, then that's far more difficult/currently impossible.

Any particle effect or shader effect on a weapon will also run on the players once the player equips that weapon, So, no. You can't.

 

You would have to add the effect to the 3d model itself.

 

Try it. put a shader effect or particle effect on the weapon and then equip it. I tried doing this before. maybe something changed...
