Interesting video in the short simple category.

I like how you added text for descriptions.

I know that is a simple praise .. yet often text is so helpful in addition or replacement of voice.

good concept, no Doubt, again you didn't say it was a true glow effect which is ok, No big deal. So how the concept is Now looks pretty good, Good idea and such. But it would be nice to figure out how to give X objects or object the ability to produce a glow, Which would produce light not a gradual blur effect like the Halo dose...which is how i stumbled upon your video. Good work great concept. Keep it up and good luck with blender.

you really should check out compositing nodes if you want to make something look cinematic. Specifically the glare fliter

@videofountain

It's good for us that have a hard time discerning words from others when an accent is a bit heavy, or when it's hard to catch a word in general :) So yes, annoyer707 is really doing us a favor, thank you man! <3

WOW, I just waisted 2 minutes and 28 seconds of my life. Check out my tutorial on this, It makes sense, and is done in the compositor. :)

Did you see glow effect with composite?

I think it's better because you can control wich part you want.

On specular, shiniines

I mean, is it a fake glow? right?

Nice vids

Why not Shft+D for dupli to make the second sphere?

How is it possible to vary the level of halo? Can it be turned down? I tried to make a sun with a thin solar flare shotting out, and it was huge, I could not shrink the radial distance that halo influences.
