Just woundering if this is at all possible. I have a character whos hair I want to treat as a light source. Kind of a glowing effect, so the light has to be cast back onto his head.

Think you'll need some kinda radiosity business for that. If you've got max 5 it can probably do it... earlier versions, you'll need a plugin.

Maybe you could try a bit self-illumination in the mat-editor with a glow-effect.
