Actually, alphacollor do counts…
If you put alphacollor to 0, it will not glow, even if it has glow color, with 1 it will glow…
I have several cases using this technique.
About the j3o, its preaty much any blender export object, in the test case its the default cube.
I just import it, and generate some material, in this test scenario, one unsheaded.
The parameters for this material is listed in the thread, but I guess you can play and test it with any value on glow color.
If you really want, I can try to upload some j3o and j3m somewhere, let me know.
