Shiny Vehicles?

Post by Challenger33 »

Is it possible to make a vehicle appear shiny in-game? And if so, how? I need this for my Naboo Royal Starship model :) .

When you remove the alpha channel from certain tga's it appears shiny. You could try that, or just include the shinyness in the tga...

Make an environment map and apply it to it. See the Rebel fleet trooper for an example. You can even hex edit an env map into it, but there's probably an export thing as well.

That doesn't make it shiny.... Rep' gave the answer.

I never even saw that message (from ws47) :? . Anyway, how do you make an environment map?

EDIT: I think I made one (I applied one in XSI). What settings is it supposed to have?
