I need to make a part of a texture glow slightly. Like Killer Crocs eyes (see image below)     How do I do this?  I added a black and white texture (white for the glow. But then this happened.     There are strange colors around the eyes. Also how do I change the white glow to red?

I'm trying to find a way to distort artwork to emulate those crazy chalk art pieces you see all the time, like this:    I know how it's done:    ...but I'm wondering if there is an Illustrator or Photoshop plugin available to apply the distortion for me.  Currently, I do the distortions manually with Mesh Envelope, but it's tedious. There has to be an easier way. Any ideas?     EDIT: Here is one of the recent real life projects I did that used this sort of technique, but calculated manually, stair by stair:       Here is the desired view point:             And here is an off angle view point:

Basically I have been using the Pen Tool to create cloud shapes similar to the image below. I feel it can be a bit time consuming. Isn't there any way I can increase my workflow of making such shapes using another approach or a plugin (not too expensive)?

I want to recreate the above images for an animation. How do I go about it? I tried using particle systems and smoke simulators but to no avail. Also, I want to model a sparkler, but more akin to a sparkling point or sphere that emits in all directions.

I am wondering about creating something like this in moderncv.

I'm trying to convert several of my pencil drawings into vector graphics with Adobe Illustrator. My drawing's are about this complex:    I'm looking for the best way to convert these. I've found some tutorials that use the pen tool . I also have a wacom tablet at hand, which could turn out useful. Any guide or links to tutorials on effectively doing this would be greatly appreciate it.

I know the question can sound odd, but here's something I aim for:    I often need to create mockups, but I can't figure out how to model sheets of paper that are bent and closely packed. I tried to create planes with solidify modifier, bend them manually and then use array modifier to copy them. But it looks boring and unrealistic. I think that the visible pages should be created manually, but everything that lies beneath seems to be very hard to model in my case.   In the second example, you can see that sheets of paper seem to be different in size, position and maybe even in colour. The book's edge (the edge of the book's interior) looks rough just like in real world. I know it's a matter of randomness, but... how to achieve this kind of effect? I was wondering if my strategy of creating separate planes is good. Maybe there is a better way?  Basically, I'm looking for some idea that would help me to create bunch of pages that look like an open book.   Thanks in advance guys!
