not working for me here. And by not working I mean it is not a very convincing glow. This latest version looks pretty mushy, like a bad,low-res texture that has mipmapping on it.

Sorry, I'm not trying to be harsh, just calling it like I see it.

I don't know what technique you are trying now, but I would suggest simply starting with a pre-glowed texture. I would take your existing lines and make them more white or light pink, and allow the glow to fall off into a deeper red. This will create a bright center and give everything a bit more snap visually. Look at the disc texture I made in your other thread. The disc is glowing blue, but the actual lines are white, followed by a light cyan fringe spreading out into a deeper blue as it fades out.

I made an example for you to show what I mean but I don't have a way to post it right now. Let me know if you want me to email it to you.
