make your texture with a good program like JASC or Adobe, then set the Alpha channel with the paint tool it uses. thats the data that tells it a section is transparent or glows or whatever.
then I think u have to tell GMAX that the material is a Valpha or something.

Set the emissive light settings in the material editor to the color you want it to glow. White if you don't want to alter the color. Alpha channels are used for opacity maps.
