Very good! I'll give that a shot. I have a few different methods of producing
glows, many come somewhat close, but none look exactly like my goal. THe best
ones unfortunately use a multitude of overlapping lightsources and hit the
fixedsimplevector limit, so I'll need to come up with a better way using a
single lightsource and multiple densities/media.

Thanks for your advice,
Ian
