SCC sequinprim() texture effect. make gems and SHINY GLASS!!!!!

Happy accident while tring to make a "broken tv" texture anim with my neon texture.

trying different params, I noticed that my "CRT" had gone shiny inside with a certain setting.

Tried it on a sphere and was bown away.

Have fun making gems for your loved ones, right on valentines!

Love is the law, love under will.


EDIT: animating the texture is completely unneccessary, the simple ratio of repeats does the trick.

    }
 
    
}

obviously, line breaks inserted by forum. ykwtd.

oh yeah, to really see how cool it is make it on a sphere, color it red or something and give it a slow llTargetOmega rotate.


Disco Never Died!

gonna try grayscaling (not grayscale, that other b/w deal.. forget the name) my neon tex to see if i can make it fully colorable... is blue as it stands.

hope this isn't just a fluke of my vid card!

It's not doing anything for me. Nothing "weird" anyways. Just the aliasing from the texture repeating so tightly.

I made a sphere, I made it hollow, hell I even tried setting it manually alpha... I'm just not seeing anything "shiny" about it. (even tried turning shiny on)

So far, the only way I know to make "Shiny transparency" is to make a shiny invisiprim.

oh bleah. it does depend on vid card, and therefore useless.

ah well back to the drawing board.
