Take a look at this pic. I want only the eyes to glow without the armor glowing too (The armor got a glossy shader). How can I do that?

Use a pass index on the material for the eyes.

Enable material index on the layer passes. enter image description here

Add a ID mask on the compositor and use the number of your material pass index to create a mask for the glow.

To make the glow yellow you can add color to the mask and change the final mix node's mode to add:

  • $\begingroup$ Almost the answer. It's only the eyes glowing. But they glow white! It'd be nice if you guided me how to make them glow yellow! $\endgroup$
