3D Model of Stamina Potion

[Illysia]

Well, it didn't turn out nearly as good as I had planned, but it's a start. I'll definitely keep working on it. It's a what I think a stamina potion would look like. It's been left out in the sand, as many things are in PS, and it's just glowing in the night.

thats really nice effect. I been thinking about making some hind of this art too!
Tell, what effect did you use? Some kind of reflecting, or shining? Or it's just the texture?

[Illysia]

I made a glow map from the texture and used the self illumination in Max to make the glowing effect. It took a couple of tries to get it to work right. I always mix up whether it's black or white that makes the glow. It's white.  I blacked out all the parts of the texture that didn't glow and I desaturated the parts that did glow and used contrast to make the the glow more intense in the lighter areas.
