Nice post ,Quest.

Using the Effects/ glow will do it also. And much easier and with more faster feedback

There are many options available as to where the glow is actually renedered.

Also the effect desired can be assigned to the eye object or the eyelid object or to some object behind the eye etc etc.

The glow can be restrained to function on the edges of the object or the whole object or around 16 variations of all this. It can be easily modified as to colurs and as to strength and other things. No special lighting required.

Being very,very, very familiar with "VideoPost" has made me shy of using it. :)

It's very 1980's now and hasn't changed much since then.

I believe there are better options for this effect from within Max

But each to her own.
