Oh geez, I really do need to check my DevArt more often than I do! Sorry about the super-delayed response!

Anyway, for glowing effects like the exhaust plumes, those are just simple cylinders with their material set to emission type so they have that diffuse glow look. You can layer shapes and transparent textures with the emission material type to get more complicated effects as well- for instance the plume in the lower left corner behind the ship in the foreground, the main plume is just another cylinder, but the flame-ish looking bit is a bowl-shaped piece with a transparent flame texture pattern on it.

My best advice is to just take a couple of pieces in L3 and just goof around with the various texture and material options. You can get some surprising results just playing around with the options, and once you know it, you can apply it to more serious models later.

Thanks I would have Photoshopped a lens flare in or something, but... well I don't have Photoshop ^_^ Sunset Flight is an older(ish) pic, but it is definately one of my favorites because of the composition. Once I get my Arwing Mk-IV model done, I hope to have some more fun with other flight renders, too.
