The best thing is to use an already existing material file with glow enabled and afterwards make it your own. Link the textures to it.

I always use templates, because just tagging "Has glowmap" often causes issues and there's some other option I don't know about.

 

Basically the glowmap is a black .dds except for the part you want to be seen.

Problem that I don't have "already existing material"

I have this thing working on source engine (source filmmaker, csgo...) and in 3d program

this is how it works in source:

VertexLitGeneric
{
	$basetexture "models/_test-drive/DBH_KARA/kara_blue_triangle_d"
	$bumpmap     "models/_test-drive/DBH_KARA/kara_blue_triangle_n"
	$model 1
	"$color2" "[0 0 0]"
	//"$color2" "[0.3 0.3 0.3]"

	$phong       "1"
	$phongboost  "1"
	$phongfresnelranges  "[0 .5 1]"
	$phongalbedotint     "1"
	$halflambert 1
	
	$halflambert 1

	$emissiveBlendEnabled 1
	$emissiveBlendTexture        "dev/null"
	$emissiveBlendBaseTexture    "models/_test-drive/DBH_KARA/kara_blue_triangle_g"
	$emissiveBlendFlowTexture    "dev/null"
	$emissiveBlendTint           "[0.1 0.5 1]"
	$emissiveBlendStrength        2
	$emissiveBlendScrollVector   "[0 0]"
	
}

in 3d program:

Hello Indarello,

 

In the material editor, you need to :

 

1) Turn off "Environment Mapping" on "General" tab

2) Assign the file to "Glow Texture" in "Material" tab (encoding = BC1, BC3, or BC7)

3) Check "Emittance Enabled"

4) Make the "Emittance Color" white

5) Set "Emittance Multiplier" = 1.0 as a start (if it is too dark/bright in game, you can adjust this multiplier)

6) Check "Glowmap"

 

One thing to note : In Fallout 4 engine, you can't use both Environment Map (used for metallic materials) and Emittance at the same time in one material. For example, on Pip-Boy, the parts that use environment map and emittance are on separate materials.

 

The "detail map" you are talking about would be a normal map, I assume? Fallout 4 uses Direct X format for the normal map, so if you are using a texture from another game, you may need to convert it (flip the green channel). If it's in a wrong format, your texture will look as if the light is hitting it from a wrong direction. The normal map and specular/gloss map should be in BC5 or BC7 format.

Thanks, we are close now to the result I wanted.

I didn't sad it quite right. I mean make it something like "holo"

in result I got static glow that don't changes from the sides you watch it

 

that is what I wanted:

Also do you know how to make something "blink" appear on 3 sec and than disappear on 3 and do this again

[Indarello]

They helped me with blink: BoSDistressPulserGlowing.nif

as example, have glowing that changes EmissiveMultiple value

Worked for me with this alpha properties

 

 

Still looking for better solution for "holo" effect
