Its a shader. Your model needs to be built in a special way to use them properly though.

Let me be a bit more specific now that I have the time: most models should be fine to add one too (weapons, vehicle mainaly I think)

The problem is that you need to edit the bitmaps for it to work properly (aka: fit on the models properly).

But yea... if you know how shaders work and how to edit them a little bit this is easy.
