Adding rim lighting/phong to a weapon

I've pretty much got the model done, and i'm happy with it, but it's still pretty much a priority to get good phong/rim lighting. I edited the vmt, but it didnt seem to make a difference.

weapon VMT:

"VertexLitGeneric"
{
	"$basetexture" "models/weapons/c_items/c_coaled_fury"
	$phong 1
	$rimlight               1
	$rimlightexponent       2
	$rimlightboost          .2
}

Looks very good! i voted it up and comented, i hope you get it in!
aside of that, i don't know what you are talking about, so i can't help you. i tried searching but found nothing.

You might want to make a $PhongExponentTexture which will allow you to make a mask for the rimlighting. The alpha channel is what you want:

Just keep experimenting.

Must have been a different issue than rimlighting. Anyway, I'm glad it's working. Good luck!
