Hello. How could I make one object glowing? Few years back I saw a tutorial of that but I can't remember where and how to do it. There were something about Lens Effect and object ID but as I said I can't remember anymore.

So if somene could tell me how. It doesn't mater if it's scanline or mental ray. (Glare(lume) doesn't work in this as it affects to all objects).
The glow should be like backglow. Like there is some light behind the which is makeing the glow.

Jeff had somewhere those Light Tubes which had Glow(lume) shader but I can't find that file eather and that might help me in this situation.

Thanks--

I found those Light Tubes of Jeff's but they doesn't help me much. They doesn't glow "in the air" as I want it to. (this is coming a big problem :sad: Or maby I can't remember some basics.)

Either use video post glow, or effects glow. Here's one (of many) threads on the topic:
