Chroma

Hmm...could do it decently if we could render the scene with only the object you wanted to glow. Render to texture. Scale the texture with the object at center x5 at say .8 alpha, store that. Then do 4x scale at .6, 3x at .4 and 2x at .1. Layer all those together...take a shot and render it with alpha over the top of the screen. Would take some work but you'd have a 5 pixel glow that got lighter as it went outward more. And it would be the exact shape of the model too. Might have to have a copy of the mesh hidden that's the color of the glow. Then hide original model...show colored model. Do all the rendering....hide colored...show original. Lotta work but it would look pretty good I think.
