Hi Julien!

Seams to be ok in there.

Could you please try with -ab 1? Your glow is effective only in the indirect calculation. rtrace calculates irradiance on a virtual diffuse surface, so the glow is hit over at least one bounce.

I have to admit that I tend to forget the exact behavior of rtrace here and cannot test it. The -I may internally increase -ab, but I would not expect it.

Cheers, Lars.
