How did you do the glow?
well since i took a while to figure out a way to do the glow…im keeping it secret…JOKING
Its not really a glow, but glad you know that thats what i wanted to acomplish. I just took a few lamps and made them spherical with some colour and put them in the drum
On the half closed drum i wanted more of a glow effect where you could see the glow coming out, but couldnt do that. I tried using spotlights with halo, but it shined through the lid

Try using ray tracing
if emit is on, lower it…
