UPDATE

Hi Cassius,

Thank you for your tips. I got it now, it wasn’t that complicated as I thought it would be once I got my head around it and thanks to your step by step explanation.
Although I found a different method. Regarding the “Glow” effect inside Element, you were right, I thought it comes enabled by default, I didn’t realised there are extra settings under the “Render settings” submenu, so I was only changing settings inside the Scene setup.
I found out that Element has it’s own World Position Pass which can be set on a different layer. It wasn’t 100% accurate for me when I used it with Particular, as on a 360 rotation I was getting some artefacts where the 3d model was interacting with the particles. I guess with Element is more about creating an illusion rather than a simulation.

Here’s the tutorial for Element’s World Position Pass for anyone who wants to know more about this feature
Thanks.

Thanks Cassius.

Well that’s the thing, I’ve cranked up the glow’s setting inside Element3D all the way to the it’s max value but it seems like it doesn’t make any difference for some reason.

As for the second part can you please be more specific, I don’t really understand this bit “create a luma matte by changing all materials you want to glow to white and the rest to black.” If you can walk me through in steps like 1, 2, 3… I would really appreciate that. Basically all I’m trying to do is an afterburn which sits inside the exhaust and sticks to in the same position regardless if I change the camera angle or the position of the aircraft itself. I’ve managed to parent the object of the second group (the orange circle) to the aircraft, but because that exhaust is rigged and has a separate animation, when I try to animate the exhaust it moves independently from the orange circle (afterburn). If you have a better idea on how to achieve this is more than welcomed. Below is an example of how I’d like to look, it should be right in the preview of this vid.
