How do I make things "dazzle"? I set the directions to "shiny" but it doesn't act, say, like the "burst of light" objects I've seen or like a belt that I purchased. Is it a deep "dark" ..lol..secret? Thanks in advance. I'm trying to make a tiara that will shine for a bride.

Those objects are scripted and probably use particles to achieve that 'sparkle' effect.

Yeah, in combination with object shine, subtle (don't overdo it now!

but welcome particle effects help to bring out that glimmer and spark.

Januss, it's encouraged you learn more about particle systems -- get yourself some free scripts like Eltee's engine or the one Ama Omega made and Jopsy Pendragon commented on (so it's easier to use, yay).

Head to The Particle Laboratory:

Tealink, The Ethereal Lands, Teal (215, 50)

And spend lots of time playing with the parameters to see what each one does. I hope you have fun and get the hang of it quickly.

Cheerio!

as torley said its basically a small stationary particle particle that emits every few seconds i made one that isnt great but IM me and i can pass you the script so you can play with it. also heading to teal to learn more for you self is highly recommended, i have spent many many hours there
