I'm making a vending machine and I need a glowing front texture, but theres not much about. Ive made a material and gave it a glow effect and changed the material id but its just not happening. I've messed with it for ages and now I'm tired. Can anyone just knock me up a texture that glows around the edges because I cannot do it.

I'd personally do it as a seperate pass, composited together ontop of my image. You can find some info on the technique here...

This is more about specular glow, but reducing the blurriness and increasing the intensity will get you a more standard glow.
