JPG to Vector, how to make glow light

[andersong45261292]

Hello everyone,

Since Image Trace didn't work for me, i've been trying to make a jpg company logo into vector logo, and i'm almost done.

The issue that 've been struggling with it, is that glow light on the ring, I just don't know how to do it, there is no tutorial in youtube.
I've tried Extrude & Bevel, but either i don't know how to do it, or using 3d bevel didn't work.

Any advice?

Use the “gradient fill” features to create effect on ring.

I would use a few little blends where you want highlights. Obviously neater than these:

but the ring is grey and the orange on top of it is the one that needs the highlight, even messing with bevel i could'nt find the highlight.

Nothing happen exactly:

Did you try and use a blend?

You can blend between a solid colour and transparency by specifying steps in the blend options, which might be necessary to go on top of your gradient.

You could try to use a variable stroked line with a partially transparent gradient across the stroke.
