Hi guys,
I was wondering how should i connect the OpticalFX node, so i can get its result over the specular highlight. I conected the node to the Color, Diffuse Color, Specular color, etc. , but it gives me the same result - it places the glow somewhere in the middle of the object, quite frustrating...:annoyed:

Don't know the answer to this but you can do a specular bloom just by rendering a seperate specular pass, then blurring and blending it over the top of your original image in a compositing package

Thank u for the suggestion, i apreciate it, but its more a matter of principle, than an exact technique. I want to know how can i exactly use this node. ( not sure about the word order in the last sentence, sorry :) )
