Adding simple glow to an attachment

[Sunchips]

I have made a model and I want to have a glow on a specific part of the model. I tried using particle emitters but then the glow moves and doesn't act as I want it to.

How should I do to just add a glow effect on a place of my model?

It shouldn't move if you set the Variation to 0 and you use a very low Emission Rate.

just use a plane with the chosen texture and you will have a non moving glow.

okay do I have to modify the material? since the texture have black background

change it to additive.

Thanks mate =)

And I think you have to billboard it, but I'm not sure!

Yes, You have to attach the plane to a bone, and then in Magos right click on the bone and tick the box "Billboarded"

You don't even have to attatch it to a bone, but it makes things a bit easier to coordinate sometimes.
As for the emitters, you can just check "model space", that way the emitted particles will use the models coordinates and won't affected by movement.
Still, i'd recommend the billboarded plane.
