Ok I had this little effect I needed in a commercial today. I wanted to take some text and put a cool glow on it and then composite it over some video. The problem was I could not get carrara to generate an alpha matte with aurora. I looked back over some previous threads and saw that this is a bug. Does anyone have any ideals about some alternates? Can I use volumetric lighting somehow? I want an effect similiar to the one I am posting, but I have to be able to generate an alpha matte somehow to use it.
