Irish - I hate to say it, since I love rendering and hate postwork, but since your glowing object (as in post #29 above) is not interacting with an environment, there is no need to do the glow in the rendering tool. Render your object as normal, then bring it into photoshop or similar. Here I have taken your image and applied various glow effects with a couple clicks. The first is Eye Candy "Gradient Glow - Flourescent Tubing", second and third are Eye Candy "Corona". The last is just the photoshop built-in "Outer Glow" effect. These are all highly tunable and can be combined easily. If need be, you can then composite the glowing stuff with a scene.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
