It sounds like you've got too much color in the transparent spots. In Carrara if color + transparency + reflection > 100% then the object will appear to glow. Typically what you'd do is have a transparency map in that channel and then multiply the color channel by the inverse of the transparency map. If you need something more specific (like a screen shot), let me know. Regards, Eric Winemiller Digital Carvers Guild 3D plug-ins for Carrara http://digitalcarversguild.com
