this thread was dated 2005. the above figure's right hand is shadowed, even tho it's apparently holding a glowing object. but poser lacks alotta real-world optics, including glow, dispersion, caustics et al. to be honest, I dunno if it would be worthwhile tryinta fake glow in poser, whether with the gather node (for colour bleed) or with a light source. just use another renderer that actually has a glow channel.
