Glowing Armor?

[Kobiko]

Would it be at all possible to create armor that had the same shimmering qualities as say, an avatar? If so I would really like to see some WHM AF with that glowing quality. Sorry, I'm just a newb so I don't know much of anything about rendering. But at least I'm a newb with some good ideas ^^

The only glowing effect on any player equippable peice is actually on a weapon, which is the Judge's sword. The coding in the .dat somwhere alows it to have that 'aura' effect. And its red.

No one currently knows how to modify that effect, or add its property onto other peices of armor.

What about that effect that GM's have on their hand? Is there anyway to add that to a character by changing the .dat's?

It is a shame really, I've thought about it for a long time, that it'd be visually nice to have certain pieces of gear illuminate. Such as swords that in the description picture are aflame, actually be wreathed in fire as you wear it. Or say, the lvl51 elemental staves, the sphere at the top, to pulsate.

Yanno, WoW'ish I know, but it'd still give it that nice 'high fantasy' sort of feel.

The Judge's shield gives the player a watery effect but that and the Judge's Sword are the only two equipable items in the game that give off a glow like effect.

And I take it no one knows the .dats for the GM's shield or sword? :/

Lack of glowies is something I liked about FFXI. Too bad about the cluster**** glowy orb crap on too many weaponskills. :x
