How to get a material to glow like the red lights on vehicles?

Recommended Posts

I imported a custom object and tried to use rvmat material editor and tried every type of values for the emmisive channel but it's not producing a glow like this:

How can I get more of a glow like that? The emmissive channel seems to only make it stand out at night, but not glow at all. How are the vehicle lights doing it?

Also I tried to PM someone about it, and got a very discouraging response. I think I should post it because I don't feel like giving up myself, and I know there must be someone who can help me.

No idea,

To be honest, i left arma modding few weeks after starting... its so depressing, nobody know how to achieve things, and people keep answer you in forum to read wikis.. ^^

Goodluck finding how to use rvmats

Also this video has a nice glow on a custom model, but the emissive doesnt give me any glow, only the bright plain texture. How did he do it?

82 views and nobody can help? Maybe my quote was right :(

Is glow really that hard to do?

What values are you actually using for your emissive?

The ones for brake lights in Arma 3 are like this:

emmisive[] = {33500, 390, 38, 1};

As you can see, the red emissive value is really high.
