Default Queston about DOGA L3

Ok, I can't seem to find a way to do this, but I am hoping it is possible.

I am trying to make an emittion that is semi transparent. Is this possible? Please help me

Not with Emission no you go to free settings and all the way at the bottum there is a "transparency" setting, simply set that to a slightly higher ratio then it is by default and wham bam transparant ma'am.

Yes, this I know. What I want is to have both emittion and transparency on the same object. Is this possible? Or, is DOGA just too limited?

Oh you mean you want a BRIGHT shiney transparancy

Yeah it's possible I've done it a few times when I was just playing around, all you need to do is work on the transparancy/emittion ratio if you get it just right you get a semi-transparent glow which is cool.

Or, make a shiny high-emittion object in the center of your object and place another larger, transparent object around it. I've never tried it, but I imagine it'll yield the same results; a see-through object which emits a nice lil glow.

Default Re: Queston about DOGA L3

Well, while the thread is here, I've got me a question as well. I've been fiddling around with Doga L3 for a few hours now, making a model of the Daedelus from Hell is for Heroes, and I've run into one little stumbling block I can't seem to get around. How, exactly does one apply different textures to different parts of the ship? I know it can be done, from looking at AT's work, but I'll be danged if I can figure out how.

Ah tis easy you simply apply a different "color" to each section of the ship and edit it appropraitely for example the Icaran warships (especially the cappys) have something like 5-8 colors all of which are different textures and schemes.

Take a look.

Try this, make two identical parts, one slightly larger than the other. Make one transparent, and the other you glow effect. (Adjust the glow effect down just a tad).

Well, thanks for the suggestions. However I don't think that any of them will work. really what I want to acheive is something that is shiney but that you can still see through. Even if i do the above suggestion the inner emittion still blocks line of sight. I guess I will just have to accept the limitations of the program.
