Custom Lightwarps

I was playing around with texturing, when I learned how to make custom Lightwarps work. Here are 22 lightwarps I made while experimenting. These range from slight changes and gradients, to super stylized.

I'm sure someone else can get some use out of these.

Note: Lightwarps require maps to have lighting on them to work. On unlit maps or in unlit regions of maps, they won't make any real difference. Black void for instance, won't make the effect of the lightwarps known. I reccomend at least having a map with a basic ambient (or a void map with an ambient)

OR, have a map with completely black ambient and a basic direction for cool effects

HOW TO USE:
---------------------
You can add them to your textures VMT files by adding/changing the default lightwarptexture value, or you can do it in element viewer:

1. add override materials to a model
2. open model in element viewer > click materials
3. right click material you want to apply it to, and add attribute "String"
4. name the string $lightwarptexture and press Ok
5. Go into that material now, and paste the directory to a lightwarp texture (see below for directories listing)
6. SAVE!

element viewer fiddling can lead to random crashes, so save often when you do this!

I will probably be adding more lightwarps if I make more
