Hi,

Is there a way to have the glow from an object behind another object with an alpha map show through?

For instance; I'm currently trying to setup a scene with a cloud dome around a city, with the moon (with a nice halo-like glow) shining over... However, the glow post effect doesn't seem to take into account the transparency (via alpha) of an obscuring object. Does XL 8 correct this, or are there any workarounds?

thanks!

in r8 use the glow post effect instead of the material effect.

cheers, sadie

I've been putting off upgrading, looks like it's time, though (xPresso seems to justify the upgrade on it's own, though)
