Problem with Glowing Effect (Easy)

[chilla_killa]

Hey modellers,

I wanted to make a glow effect on one of my swords, so I created a plane that leads towards, attached it to a bone, told the bone to billboard and made the material additive. The glow works fine, but it's not on the blade, I need to rotate the glow, but I don't know how. Do I have to rotate the bone? How?

You could probably attach a particle emitter to it that would do what you're after. Also, even with it billboarded for some reason the glow doesn't show from the backside of the model. (at least it didn't for me)

BUMP, is it really so hard?
Or even impossible?
Then you can tell me how to do it per particle emitter

Here ya go. This is it with a particle emiter.
Also, heres a link to a great tutorial: Particle Emitter Tutorial
Just skip the part about modeling the attachment.

Edit: It doesn't appear in-game for some reason... The orginal doesn't either.
