Hoverboard?

[KitsuFox]

I look at this and ask one thing: Why hasn't anyone done a Back to the Future hoverboard by now?

Looking pretty good, as well. This'll be interesting to have.

Spoiler:

What exactly is the glow supposed to be?

[Mikouen]

Well, it has a circuitboard pattern to it. Go figure.

(Captain Obvious to the rescue!)

Looks like an attempt at a neon tech-grunge effect to me.

You misunderstand. I'm wondering why it's there and why it's glowing.

[The One and Only]

Because it can.

Why don't you let the author respond, rather than being a smart alec?

I know photosourcing is the devil around here, but this is actually an insanely good shot, at the very least for reference:

Just thought I'd share, even if I can't skin for beans...yet.

Let me say it once. This mod is not supposed to be the BTTF hoverboard. The model is not shaped properly to be the BTTF hoverboard. Anyone who wants a BTTF hoverboard will have to make their own. Hopefully no one will make me repeat myself on that.

It was mainly because I thoguht it would look cool if it glowed.. I actually wanted it to pulse, something like this:

{
        models/players/swoop/myskin/glow.jpg
        blendFunc GL_ONE GL_ONE
        glow
        rgbGen wave sin 0 1 0 0.5
}

That is, if I remember that correctly, I haven't done any shaders in a while.

I have no useful updates, but after testing it a bit more (Still haven't fixed that animation thing yet, working on it) to all the skinners out there, don't worry too horribly much about the bottom, yes it's visible, yes it counts to make it look good, but tearing your hair out to get cool glow effects and so forth really don't matter, you can't see the bottom THAT often anyway. That's my take on it.
