I am working on an animation that involves display of diamonds. I coded a shape that is good looking and i wanted to add a glow effect. Unfortunately my shaders knowledge is close to zero so i had to find some good tutorial. I was able to apply and modify found code but the result is quite bad. Found glow effect looks good on for example torus shape, but when i placed it on my diamonds it doesnt looks like glow at all. On torus shape you can see that its nicely fading while on diamond its just solid.



This is glow applied on torus:
