Quote - Yeah but that is not a volumetric glow and I think they were asking for a glow.  But there are three things here; a self illuminated object (ambient) an object that cast light (gather) and the actual volumetric glow surrounding a light which I think has to be geometry in Poser.

Found the tut you were refering to. It is on making a light saber glow which I assume would be the effect required here for the tubes.
