The neon light is Anything Glows, an extension we at Digital Carvers Guild created for Carrara and now included with eovia's Smart Pack for Carrara.

Anything Glows takes an ordinary mesh and makes it emit light. AG also has a couple of other handy tools including Master Light and Environment Lighting. Check out the product page at
