3ds max glowing object

Link702

I'm trying to make an object glow. It's a simple sphere, I want to make a ceiling light glow effect. I followed every tutorial on making something glow but when I render the scene the object doesn't change, there is no glow. I had spot lights in the scene, then removed them but even with them gone it's still the same. Can it be because of something in the Environments section? What could it be?



Thanks.

if you want glow, you would either need to add a volume fog to the Omni light as a post effect. or you could use Mental ray. Follow this tutorial if you decide to use mental Ray http://www.cgarena.com/freestuff/tutorials/max/glowingmaterial/
