Render fx

#1 · December 2, 2011, 8:48 am

I am trying to create a prop from an existing model that looks more like a 'hologram' type effect, and have been playing around with render fx, but was wondering if anyone knew how to do this.
Thank you,

Do you just want to make it somewhat transparent?

Setting renderFX to "additive" gives a very hologram-like effect. I don't remember exactly, but there should be another setting you can adjust to control the brightness. (RenderAmount?)

Perhaps you can also set up a timer to make it flicker on and off randomly, Star Wars style. (Oh, and make it non-solid of course )
