Step 6
This step isn't needed but is useful for improving the quality of your model.
When you see a Star ship be it from Babylon 5, Star Trek or Star Wars it nearly always has glowing segments. These could be the white burn of a Warlocks engines or the blue glow of an Akiras Nacelles, either way this step will show you how to add glows to certain textures.
For this you will need Delphys PeoMat.
Note even if you choose not to use this section Delphys PeoMat is worth downloading in any case as it is needed for many of his other programs.
Load up your .peo in PeoMat. You will get this,
It has a list of the textures on your .peo. The textures tab will allow
you to view your textures if you can't remember which textures are which.
I know which textures I want to glow, namely Ncl2 and SteamrunnerGlow.
So I simply click on each, tick the self Illuminated box and press apply.
Now simply save it.
