I was cruising through another post and found someone who mentioned looking for some insight on OSL and figured this might help some folks out.

It came about in the blogging world as a way for some of us to work through how to understand and recreate OSL effects on models. The original example followed a powerfist through the process, but the ideas are universal and can be applied to anything "glowing."

 

It's a three part series that I have posted on my blog. Instead of trying to repost the whole thing here, I figured I'd share the links to the articles.

You can start at the first part and follow through the series as each article leads to the next as well.

 

Part 1: Painting the object that is glowing

Part 2: Understanding the radiant light

Part 3: Applying radiant light to your model

 

Good luck and I hope you guys enjoy the series.

Ok, I tried this out, and here are some of the results I got. Please feel free to let me know what you think here, because no one I know feels as if they are good enough to criticize my work.. or they totally don't care.

 

First off, I think I got this one good, but since there is no luminence effect it was easy.

This mace is on a completed model, and the effects are done.

Lastly, here is a model where the effects are cast off onto the rest of the model.
