Been fooling around with glows and ran across an interesting
property... negative colors can be used to cancel or shape the
halo.

I have included a trivial example where a negative green glow
cancels a positive one.  This action is actually color-specific so
you can selectively allow different frequencies to pass or not
as required.

Not very exciting news perhaps, but it might be useful...

I've also been playing with negative glows, but using radiosity...

The dark patch in the upper right corner of the image is a single 
negative glow.

I was thinking that it might be useful in scenes where you want really 
deep shadows in an otherwise well illumiated scene.

Bye for now,
     Jamie.

Looks like a useful trick. This is good. Continue experimenting.

The only problem is that I had to crank the radiosity settings up to 
something ludicrous to get a halfway smooth render (Mainly because I 
couldn't be bothered to go trawling through these groups to find the 
settings that people have been posting :)

Bye for now,
     Jamie.
