ok , so here is the image

it needs to lighted up like this

and the background texture will be something like this :

[Kolossus]

That comes from The Lord of the Rings. It's the Moria's Door. (Yes, I love that book)...

Are you sure you can use the concept?

Got a decent result (compiled with Bumpy, so your milage may vary.)

Inverted the image so that black is white, and then deleted the background (alpha 0). Saved as TGA. Made a second copy, tinted it blue and made it blurry.

Shader looks like this:

textures/test/moria
{
	
	qer_editorimage textures/test/moria.tga
	surfaceparm nodlight
	surfaceparm nolightmap
	q3map_lightRGB 0.51764 0.97254 0.96862
	polygonOffset
	sort 6
	
	{
		map textures/test/moria.tga
		rgbGen identity
		blendfunc blend
	}
	{
		map textures/test/moria_blurblue.tga 
		blendfunc add
		rgbGen identity
	}
}

Doesn't this shader need a q3map_surfacelight?

Nice, Drewfin. I did the same with the image but then thickened the lines with a Gaussian blur and then added white layer set to dodge to increase the glow. I also put the original inside a 512x512 alpha canvas so Q3 wouldn't scale down and distort the image.




I'll put up an the example .pk3 shortly. Granted, this is copyrighted material so you use it at your own risk.

@drewfin and mindriot, wow thanks for the help :-)

btw mindriot, I don't think copyrights will cause any problems, and looking forward to that pk3, btw could you include that water shader also? looks really nice too heh
