So anything that is coloured black is like a black hole and sucks in all light? Ok, I think I can remember that :) Ok, I changed the ambient colour of the box to white and achieved the result of the glow on the box!! :) Thank you :) Now if I wanted to do this on say a wall, I would connect the gather node to the wall? What about if I wanted a figure holding a glowing orb in her/his hand, or floating above them...how would I get the glow to affect their body/hands etc.?

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
