How did you get yours to self-illuminate?

Answer-
Somebody else said:
For lum mapping, you just make a new map with black for all the areas you dont want to glow, and the white areas for the areas you want to glow, grays will glow less or more depending on how close to white or black they are. In 3DS Max, just apply the map to the body's self illum in the material editor.

I think dunce also did something called Post Video on his last screenshot so thats why his glows, much like this spinfuser I've been working on.

Not sure, you'll have to ask someone who knows their way around max about that. As far as I understand, dunce painted the glow on.

I already tried it, you also have to apply the video post to the object ID, so if you change the Object ID of the head to annother channel, the entire head will glow. If you could edit the mesh a bit and add some poly's directly where you want the VP to show up, like create an outline on your visor and do it that way, it would work...

But an easier way is to draw a spline and add an invisible material that traces the outline you want to glow.

Too get a glow would require post effects. In game the glow through the shaders according to lum maps.
