In the shaders tab select Add Blend mode and also set the PriGradient and Detail Colour to add as well.

Next go to the Vertex Material Tab and select Environment in the Stage 0 mapping.
Leave the colours as is.

That does it for Pass 2 now to Pass 1

Pass 1 is much easier simply set your normal texture as usual apply.

Now head to the last page.

My computer's pretty good so it's hard to test lag thankfully.
At the moment though I've been using it on the Gondor heavy armour shields and have had no lag.

So far I've been unable to work out a way to isolate the effect to certain parts of a mesh which limits it a bit.

I love this effect! Have you tested to see how much lag it does cause? Is it practical to use on regular units at all?
