I was playing around with U3D's environment mapping the other day for one of my iron vase models, and accidently applied the wrong texture, which was a transparent flare particle texture. Here's the cool effect I got.

Hey, I've accidentally done that too. Accept it wasn't a vase.But It gives this cool glass look, i suggest using it somewhere. :)
The reason it does that is because of the PNG's alpha channels, if you wish for a different look that's similar, just make another PNG with alpha channels.

It's pretty funny what cool things you might discover when things go "wrong" ^_^

Yeah, one time i accidentally put a "-" on one of the color controlling arguments of the specular shader and it made this awesome Dark purple light effect. If you wish to see, then i would be happy to post something here. :D

Well, ok. I looked over my programming and realized that i put all the values Negative after I saw a change from accidentally putting one value as such. Still looks freakin cool :D

By the way, fuck you all. You all blow brain shards out of all your asses. Hard.

Although most individuals have some narcissistic traits, high levels of narcissism can manifest themselves as a pathological form as narcissistic personality disorder, whereby the patient overestimates his or her abilities and has an excessive need for admiration and affirmation.
