Microscopic shader [SOLVED]

Is it possible to add a shader to the engine? I want to create an effect like this...

while it is not currently possible to import your own shaders, you can achieve the desired effect easily by using the "Advanced Effects" tab of the material editor. http://www.stonetrip.com/developer/doc/editor/modules/materialeditor (scroll down to the very bottom).

try playing with backlight, fresnel, and opacity.

Thanks for the tips. Here's the fruits of my labour. 72 hour game jam for Ludum Dare...

Instructions on screen, but basically save all the scientists by touching them and avoid getting hit by the spiky things.

Dude this is sweet! Mind sharing your material settings? Please? I am making a game with viruses as well.

I think this will work - drop the attached material in your Materials folder. This is the material for the spiker.

You will need to provide a normal map to get the bumpiness as well.
