Glow

Glow[col]
is a graphics directive which specifies that surfaces of 3D graphics objects which follow are to be taken to glow with color col.
Glow[]
specifies that there is no glow.
  • Glow is added to diffuse and specular reflection components to determine the final rendered color of a surface.
  • Glow is a color component independent of simulated illumination.
  • A surface can be specified as having an absolute color col by giving the combination of directives Glow[col], Black and Specularity[0].
