post production / camera effects

Im familar with packages other then blender (im a newbie) and most have ‘camera / post effects’ like attaching glow effets to an object, or material ID#… camera VOD, bluring, etc.

Lets say I wanted to create a simple scene with just a sphere… is it possible to add a ‘glow’ to it’s surface? Very much like the “E” on http://www.teov.org (which was done in 3D Studio Max).

This is a very important feature (to me) and getting a heads up on where to look would be fantastic. Thanks guys :slight_smile:
