Please Help With Texture Problem.

I can't figure out how to make parts of a texture shiny (like Scorpion's shoulder pads on the Das Donkey site). This would really help with a texture I'm making that has metallic lining on someone's clothing.

um, are you asking HOW to texture hack? Basically, you export it, and then modify it with a picture making/editing tool. Just make sure to get the area you want. If you're not sure where the spot is, experiment!

What I meant was how to make parts of it shiny/reflective. For example, the Cosmic Mario texture is clearly a a different surface than just basic Mario. The same is true for Scorpion's clothing as opposed to his skin, as well as many other textures. I need to know how to make certain areas reflective like this.

[yoshimo]

so, you're saying only specific areas? If it's that, just change the texture of the disired spot.

It's the shading that's build in the model. You can't give a character an actual shine like Sonic, Captain Falcon, or an emerald texture that doesn't already have one.

I see. That is unfortunate. Thanks for your help anyways.
