Don't use translucence in Poser Pro 2012 for lighting effects. In fact, don't use it for anything, ever. ISTR BB said it's broken. Dunno if it's been redone for Superfly but it's certainly no use for Firefly. Besides which, I can't for the life of me think why you'd use translucence for a glow effect anyhow.

Just crank up your ambient lights to 2 or more and use IDL. You'll also need some kind of texture map to determine which windows are on or off. A simple black/white will do it, where the glow is white and the non-glow is black. Shades of grey will give different levels of light, too. AFAICR, Dystopia has such things included.
