I wanna glow so I can shine XO

I have been wondering if some one could reference a good technique to make stuff glow akin to tron and so forth. also if anyone knows a good particle tutorial that would be awesome.

ok, so here’s a little example showing how to do a glow in blender using compositing nodes. Now i’ve used render layers to split up the ground and the cube, then used a blur filter to blur the glowing parts, then mixed it back onto the original image using a screen node. Ive colored the glow as well using rgb curves.

Somebody has made a tutorial on youtube on how to get the glow effect from that movie.
