I've asked them to increase the dosage of my medication to help reduce it.

Well, now you've just got to try it.

That looks quite good, although initially i thought of houses, fences, etc.
decorated with those glows.  Combined with some radiosity and some street lamps
it could make a quite realistic nighttime atmosphere.

	But then it wouldn't work with reflection/refraction would it?
Actually, I think that the checking needs to be done for each ray which
would slow things down :(

	I should have added: "if you want it to work with
reflection/refraction". To get the winking out effect in the
reflections, you'd need to check for each ray if the center of the glow
would be visible from the starting point of that ray, then if it is
visible, compute the glow effect for the ray, otherwise ignore it. But
then of course you'd have the same kind of limitations that led to the
introduction of photons, so I guess it's mainly a question of how
perfect you want it to be (and what would be "perfect" in this case
since we're talking about an artistic effect and not a physical one...)
