As an extra bonus I'm posting up some alternate settings for this effect.
It will add a sort of moving glow around the object.
To see what I mean check out the Balrog's model in w3d viewer and notice the glowing effects on him these effects are similar.

First in the Vertex Material tab

Try the following.

Code

Ambient = 255 255 255

Diffuse = 255 255 255

Specular = 0 0 0

Emissive = 183 46 27 





Args Stage 01

LinearOffset

UPerSec=0.2

VPerSec=0.2

UScale=1.2

VScale=1.0



Args Stage 02



UPerSec=0.2

VPerSec=-0.3

UScale=-1.0

VScale=1.0

Next change the following settings in the Shaders tab

Code

Blend Mode = One

DetailAlpha = Scale

For the texture I'd advice a texture that matches the Emissive settings in this case the Emissive colour is red and the Texture I'm using for best effect is one of my custom textures exredball.tga which hasn't been made public as yet.
It's a simple sprite texture a red ball in the middle surrounded by black.
Other textures will yield different results.
