Avatar modding neon glow

[Fenrir]

Anyone know how to make bits of a model glowy? Im using the Protogen by NKD and want to give it a neon glow trim but cant figure it out. If it matters the model is SDK2 not 3.

You need to use emission. A lot of shaders have the "Emission" property that will allow you to make parts of your avatar's texture glow. If your shader has the emission property, it is also likely that it also has a the ability to use an emission mask.

If the trim that you want to glow is part of a texture that has things that you don't want to glow, you need to put the texture into an image editing program and mask out what you don't want to glow by coloring it black. You can then use this mask with the emission property on the shader to get the effect it seems you're looking for.

Thanks. The problem I'm running into now is that all of the buttons and options and such on the Inspector tab are greyed out. Nothing is clickable, including the emisssions button
