Hi,djnimby , You may want to experiment with making the terrain solid by selecting "solid" from thedrop list under the grid resolution selector in the terrain editor first Then in the materials editor there is a little drop menu at the top of the editor that gives you some shading options,normal , blend transparency,fuzzy,and light, try selecting "Light" from that menu and set the diffuse color to the color you want it to glow, thats a start but from there you can try different tuextures to drive other channels. there is a preset in the complex effects library called "Greenlit" that might give you another starting point. hope this helps.
