Ambers, how do you apply a glow to a texure/model? I think our lasgun/pulse rifle bolts need some glow, and I remember you said about you applying glow to something a while back, hence why i'm asking you

Cheers

I love this technical jargon - it shows we're dealing with true professional here.

Well if your plasma bolt is a texture and it's got a solid black background like the muzzle flashes used on the tanks, then:

1 - Apply your texture to your object
2 - Select "Add" in the "shader" pulldown tab
3 - Set the "Emissive" to pure White in the Vertex Material Tab

You don't need an alpha mask and any pixels that are pure black will be removed and the pixles remaining will have a "hotter" glow due to you setting the emissive to pure white.

You can always fiddle with the colors in the emissive to achieve your bolts color, like blue, purple, etc...
