I wonder, is there any possible way to make object glow, like neon light in the dark for exaple.

(Sorry for the bad English)

I think the best way to do this is to create the object in a modelling program (Milkshape3D for example), make a new material which you want to glow, then set its emissive light property to whatever colour you want. This _should_ make it glow, but I'm not sure, you may have to set the diffuse and ambient properties as well.

PS DBS - it would be GREAT if you could assign all these lighting properties inside DB, instead of only (I believe) being able to assign diffuse light....

You could place a plane behind the object that you want to glow, ghost it and texture it with a gradient fading from white to black, that would work.
