The above might fair well in 3.1 although I didn't check on it.  Basically,
v3.5 can get by with intervals 1 whereas v3.1 cannot.

  In 3.1 you will get a grainy glow. If you pump up the samples and intervals
and other parameters you might get a smooth result but then the render times
will go through the roof.

Warp,

	I tried this, and it seems to stay "Spherical".. Granted the macro is a sphere.. 
	Make sense.. so Does this only work as a sphere?  If so I'll just Modify the Macro to
be "Cylindrical"

	thanks
Dave
