Hi evryone !  
Is it possible use glsl shader for THREE.Points material to get glowing effect ?

Like that : [http://bit.ly/2hiZY5w](http://bit.ly/2hiZY5w)  
Or that (just glowing effect) : [http://bit.ly/2yt7FNj](http://bit.ly/2yt7FNj)

Is there a better solution than shader ?

Thanks a lot =)

Use THREE.AdditiveBlending as blending mode.

@Fyrestar already done… Currently I’m using a canvas with a radial gradient as “map”. Result is pretty cool but I can’t get same result that examples (glow movment) I’ve gave in my first message.
