Now that should do it test it out in W3d Viewer.

You can adjust the brightness by tweaking the shine texture.
You can also add some colour to the shine texture for more interesting FX.

I'd advise against using this too much as it could lead to lag issues.
I'd recommend keeping it to hero weapons and structures.

Thanks for checking out this tutorial and I hope it helped add some shine to your work.
Remember to rate this tutorial because I'm a vain beast at the best of times :p

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?
