Glowing organs?
I have created internal organs, muscle, skin layers etc for a human model. I have also applied image materials to them. I now need to show each group of organs glowing.
Each group of organs are in their own null object. Is there some way i can get each group of organs to glow?
Many thanks in advance for ideas, this one is sending me mad!
Jethro.

You would have to animate the glow and/or luminance channel of each material in the group, assuming that they’re not all using the same material. There are a number of ways you can make it easier: set up an Xpresso so one material drives the others (or use set driven keys to automate the Xpresso setup), or simply multi-select the materials and make all the changes at once.
In the alternative, you could render out object buffers for each group and do the glows in post.

Thanks for the response Adam. I can now do this, but is there some way to mesh all the organs into one polygon object that i could apply a glow to?

Sure, just select all of the objects and run the “Connect” command. But depending on your setup, it could play havoc with your textures.

Yep you were right. It messed them up big time! Thanks again, still managed the job with your previous advice.
