I thought that was what I was doing...

Most/all of the scenes I have posted so far feature a reflective sphere. 
I haven't tested refraction yet, but they should refract just like 
anything else.

If nothing is between the glow and the camera, the whole thing is 
visible. Proximity to a surface does not and should not affect it, since 
it simulates atmospheric scattering, not a ball of glowing gases.

I have posted an image of this...the object blocks the glow which is 
behind it, and the glow extends around it's edges.


> As other mentioned, how will it look with radiosity?

Since it is visible, it will illuminate surfaces with radiosity, but 
since it is not a surface, it will look the same whether you use 
radiosity or not. I don't know what else you want to know.

The effect of the glow is simply added to the image, could you be more 
specific about your questions? BTW, the demo scenes for POV-AFX usually 
use fog, you can look at them to see the combined effect.
