[Bf-committers] Glow Node

[David Bryant]

Maybe I'm just used to assigning a material (Iin other packages I use) to 
some geometry and using a "glow" option to make the selected faces or 
objects glow a certain percentage amount and then the composite 
automatically occurs at render time.It's good for sci fi scenes that need a 
rocket engine glow or other glowing things especially if you want glowing 
colors.The node would do all of that for you (in theory as of now) or make 
it simpler in the node editor.
