ya, tried that. but with the closeness of the figure and all the spot light gave funny "lines" at the beginning of it's range, bulb worked sorta, but still not the right effect.

 

probably going to end up rendering out 2 images, one with the glow on and one with it off then blend/mask the 2 together in photoshop,  was trying NOT to do that as knowing my brother he'll want regular changes.. just adds steps to the whole thing.  

 

Really don't get why the light is shooting back... other object seem to stop/shadow the light..? 

 

 

Oh well,  seriously, thanks for your help!!! now... any good at un wrapping to do UV textures?  LOLOL  never can get the things to unwrap right  :cursing:
