Fur backlight glow.

Description

Well I tried some node based back light for the fur. Idea was to make something like this [link]

While it works, it works just barely. To get realistic results, there should be different layers for the furred objects and other items, Each light source should be composited separately and it would take a layer per lamp, then you should combine the layers together (Z combine node) and if that's not enough you need to take out the shadowy pars too... And shadow output render didn't seem to work so well with fur... So I just kept it simple. No other objects, no shadows and no much time put into this.

Well that's the approach I had first in mind. There must be a better way to do it (I'll check if this could be done by using the Translucency from the material panel with some compositing). I'm not going to explain it better as it's really not the way to do it. But I provide the blend file for you to study. Check on what layers each object is, check hidden objects and check the composite window. Use the viewer node if you have problems understanding some parts of the compositor process. Lets see if this download thing works...

EDIT: Well I can't figure out how to make it so that you could only press the download from here to get the blend file... But I uploaded it to here [link] And for the 1080p render (Saves you the re-render) you can get from here [link]
