maya can do it in the renderer, but its alot of work user added image

my method ( which is the same method as the guy whos making Lots Of Robots ) is ( i think anyway) the best way to do it, you can always get just the right amount to glow, no test renderers are needed user added image


NP if not, it just means a heap of rendering to layers etc (Maya can render out just the speculars etc as a seperate pass that can be used in post later I've been told)....

sorry, this is my mistake user added image...

when i say layers i mean Photoshop/after effects layers, theres no need to render out ( spec/deffuse) layers in maya, just one image per frame

if you look at my image you will ( hopfully ) see that image 2 was created by applying levels in photoshop to image 1..

christ im crap at writing tuts...iv just reread what i wrote, and even i dont understand it anymore user added image
