Well, folks, I guess I was a bit hasty in crying "Bug!!!". I don't know if others are also included in the "some people" reference, or if I'm the only one. Sorry. Having said that, I wonder if you might be able to help us get around the situation. The problem is that when rendering using "Aura" and selecting the object that is to glow, sometimes it glows and sometimes it doesn't. This is really apparent in flics, where the object will glow on some frames, but not on others. Any ideas on how to work around this? Also, regarding the intensity setting: I haven't had any luck getting this to cue off the luminosity of the light that is selected. I may very well be doing something stupid, but, just in case, is there a trick to doing that? What seems to happen is that a light with all sliders at "0" (which would be preety much off) will still get a glow, even though the "L" button is pressed. Any suggestions? Can this effect be animated over time, to cue off a light's luminosity as it changes color? Thanks for the help. Matthew Samia
