This one and the following 2 are done in PPP. P4 can do so. No plug-ins. :)

Yes! It's possible... and a very cool effect. These images were posted here too a week ago. First Glo http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=40672 Gremlin Flight http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=41665 Congrats on finding it. james

It's amazing what one can do with ambient color settings and transparency. Nice work.

Thanks, you too. It's a fantastic discovery and will be an incredible and powerful effect as it finds it's way into images. Have fun with it. It's still blowing me away as I work it through. james ricks/ooh3d

Sitting here tracking the Mir space station (I'm in Australia, ducking my head LOL) I thought I'd come browse. These effects are great poserpro....but you didn't tell me how to do it ;) I love the effects I can get in Bryce and often export entire scenes from Poser just to use the Bryce lighting. If I could do it in Poser it'd be sooooo much simpler. Cheers, Xena

Your damned right its possible!! i used that very technique to simulate a"glow" on this lightsaber (see link 380k mpeg) to me, the new motion blur feature ALONE justifies the purchase price of the propac Mocap
