Creating a sun or just something that glows

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Creating a sun or just something that glows

Hi all,

I just wondered, how can you make some sphere to actually glow, like a likebulb or the sun?
I saw this in GTA (some lights that were hanging at the side of a stripbar).

I tried to create a sphere, with transparency at 0.15 and placing a pointlight in it, but it didn't work.

And there isn't a command, such as EntityGlow (or something like that).

Can you do such a thing, without using textures or brushes?

If this cannot be done without, how would you do it in a 3D modeling program (3DS Max for example)?

I would like to have some objects in my game that glow, but I don't know how to do it.

Can someone help me with this?
