I'm using a kind of macro (no, not Warp's) to generate glows in 3.1/3.5. I
have a light inside a transparent sphere with a phong value of 1.25. This
makes a very nice glow, but when two of them get too close, you can see a
highlight of one glow on the other. Is there some way to keep the lights
from producing highlights on the other glows, yet retain their ability to
illuminate other scene objects?
