Going to try to help ya..."using the option Search Forums, typing: Nomad Textures"...--25 topics found--
quote: "Do you know how the nomad textures work? I've been trying to get the glowing/shimmer effect and I just can't seem to get it to glow/shimmer, all I get is the flat texture."
quote answer: "the nomad ships have only an opacity of 30 % and a Gradiant Map (I have no Idea what this is, probably the effect you are searching).
open with utf-edit a nomad ship 3db. under texture material you'll see a nomad_gradiant1.TGA, export this as dds and see yourself...
the 30% opacity is easy, in the material's "Type" add "Oc" (so it will be "DcDtOc" create a new node called "Oc" and set his value to "0.3" (as float Array)
you can make your material 2 sided (since it's transparent you'll see the other side of the ship) by adding "Two" to "Type" (it will be "DcDtOcTwo"
To be honest, I have no idea whats he saying LOL!
And as far of the other found topics, nothing to find to answer your specific question. Now I'm gonna look in the Downloads section to find some editing program that does something with 'textures...'
