You can't create anything "around" a mesh with a shader. You can create effects on the mesh, but not affect any 3D space not occupied by the mesh.
Perhaps you're thinking of a second prop. For example, it is common to create "wizard balls" by using two spheres. One for the actual glass or metal ball, and another larger one mounted in the same position with an edge blend glow to it.
Is that what you want? It's pretty simple if so.
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)
