Adding light to an armor

[galy3]

It is possible to add light effect to an object, like armor, helmet etc.?

Good question!

Ive had the same thing bobbing around in my mind.... (weapons and shields with lights anyone?)

What kind of "light"? Stuff like you see in Tron is no problem when you import a mesh and increase the values in BSLightningShaderProperties...like emissive color and specular strength.

 

In combination with transparency and a alpha channel in the texture you can create pretty useable effects (this is static of course, no movement in the texture)

...but i never tried to add effects like fire or such stuff to armor.

No, real light, like the torch. I have made lighthing wings, it glow in the dark, but it don't light your path like a torch.

well, that's exactly what i intend to do :) similar to this:

But instead of a sword, it'll be a shield.

But regardless of the object the fire is on, it would be nice if it actually emitted light into the world, instead of a bright glow into the player's eyes alone.. :P

I'm looking to do something a little similar I think.. Been messing around trying to add the ebony mail smoke effect to a two handed sword.

 

I also only installed the Ck a few hours ago, so I'm not at all familiar with it yet. Just been messing around with enchants mostly.

It have something to do with Ck, exemple, if you use a torch as a sword, the fire effect stay, but no light anymore. But can't find it.
