Introduction:

The Griffin was designed to compliment the Romulan
fleet by confusing and disabling the enemy. Its reinforced
shielding and ample crew allow it to be a formidable
opponent in combat. In addition to a standard cloaking device, all Griffins are armed with powerful
phasers, pulse disruptors and plasma torpedoes.

This is awesome, but why does it use two identical textures?

If you examine them closely, you'll notice that alpha channels are included...a cheat if you will to bring alpha channels into A1 models

I just checked and the ship isn't glowing. I just found a tutorial on AFC that says you need to increase the ilumination of the material used for the mesh to get glows in A1. Alpha channel apparently doesn't work at all in A1. The tutorial is here:
