Hi Jim, Unfortunately, 3D Aura won't do what you're asking - remain in effect when viewed through transparent objects. (or alpha planes for that matter) The only work-around I'm familiar with (besides retouching during post) is to embed a bulb light in the object with Light Sphere enabled. You still need to have an active glow channel on the source object to make it look believable but the Light Sphere on the bulb light completes the effect. Smoke and mirrors...it's all tricks of the trade. Mark
