It's controlled by shader glow for both Maya renderer and MR. Under your shader attr. editor, under special effects tab, just crank up glow intensity a bit to activate the glow, and then select the shader glow node in hypershade to adjust all your glow settings. Yes, you can also render out lens flare with it and all the star/halo types of glow.
