ok, forget everything about the gather node and all that... What we're asking is how to make something translucent and glowy like the creatures early in the thread. I know how to make something glow and make it a light source, just not how to make something look like a "jellyfish".

So, no further mention of the gather node needed, nor wanted in this instance.
