Attached Link: gnarly mulberry tree - upper flet with aura around lanterns

I like this effect and have decided to add it to my elvish tree models.  :D

Here is a small part of the gnarly mulberry, with its paper lanterns, which now have an aura about them.  ^^

Technical note:  the soft glow of the paper lantern is insufficient to illuminate with IDL.  To get this effect, there are three props.

• paper lantern array - the opaque objects with the soft peachy ambient.  The lanterns should be visible, not cast shadows, and not visible in raytracing.
• concealed emitter array - balls slightly smaller than the lanterns, and hidden inside.  these will have an ambient value of about 20.  They should be visible, not cast shadows, and be visible in raytracing.
• aura array - these are balls scaled up from the lanterns about 200-300%.  They use the double edge blend node material.  They should be visible, not cast shadows, and not visible in raytracing.

More test renders of the gnarly mulberry and the other trees as they finish...
