Hi,

I have an Arrow made in 3ds, I really need to indicate how much power is the user placing in to the flight of the Arrow.

I want to do this by giving the Arrow a glow and the more it glows, the more power the user is putting in the flight of the Arrow.

So yeah, anyone know how to made a 3ds Model glow in OpenGl?..or like point me in the right direction...i been goolge-in for a week now

omg is that your site?..

its sooo kewl!..sorry..yeah thats a great example..i came across it a little while back..i tried compiling it..but i dont have the framework header..or the render.h..and i think they were 2 more.

Also the exe wasnt doing anything..lik i would click and it would be runnin in memory..but it wouldnt show anything...mind you..im on a crappy computer at work and all i have is the Mingw compilier.

That being said, the code looks a bit to complex for my ability :-$
