You have me slightly confused. I thought this *would* introduce
another rendering pass on the toy (which is definitely what I don't
want). Are you saying that the toy would only be rendered once in this
situation?
If so, I do not want the toy to glow in the dark, so would have to
make the emmisive properties small. Would the toy still be illuminated
by other light sources (I anticipate having one other infinite light
source in the scene).
Thanks,
Mark.
