Downloads: 0 Uploads: 0 | The 'normal' method is to surrond the shileded object with a transparent shield mesh (the simplest would be a sphere, more complexs would be a mesh that matched the ship shape). Then add a gradient texture which referenced a NULL and added noise to the texture on the shield so as the NULL approches the sheild the texture appears. Not a great description, but I'm sure I have seen tut's around for this, try.. Lightwave Tutorials on the Web for many LW tut's Also a brief search using the googleiser yeilded... Tigerclaw: Body - Which is the method I was trying to explain (badly) Also SpinQuad LightWave 3D Community - Animated texture: Shields Up for a different effect that could probably be modified.
