c0gentf0rce Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Hi, I'm trying to make a progress wheel (in example, the little wheel that appears instead when windows vista/7 is busy) and I could use a few tips on how to get started on my design. Basically I'm trying to make it a glowing red spark that covers about 2/3 of a circle and is bright at the top and fades out at the bottom.

c0gentf0rce Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 thanks for letting me know. Here's the little bit I have. I've tried several things so far, but none of them have worked, so I resorted to my basic shape. http://s249.photobucket.com/albums/gg235/anthtonyxr2/?action=view¤t=progressbar.png I want to make the spark glowing red, with the tip orange to white in such a way that it looks like its burning really bright.

I haven't been able to play around with it yet, but I'll let you know if/when that work. Edited June 1, 2010 by c0gentf0rce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
