Material Emission - how the heck does it work? // Archive: Tech Forum 1  |   Order by default Post by seanr // Feb 12, 2006, 9:21am seanr Total Posts: 28 I am totaly confused about material emission and unfortunately the manual isn't helping me. Could someone please describe the exact steps needed to get an object painted with material emission enabled to actually emit light in the scene? Nothing I do seems to work. Post by stan // Feb 12, 2006, 9:41am stan Total Posts: 1240 first make sure lightworks is your renderer in preferences.. then..on top of material editor panel click "material light emmisions" icon.. and check "use material light" on emmision panel Post by seanr // Feb 12, 2006, 9:48am seanr Total Posts: 28 Did all that, but it wasn't working. I just tried turning the brightness all the way to the max and set the falloff to none and I'm finally getting some light, but it's so little I can barely see it (which is why I thought it wasn't working at all before). Why is it so dim? I've got a whole bunch of cylindars in my scene applied with this texture, basically like flourescent light bulbs. BTW, I also notice it renders really slowly. I guess that's to be expected? Area lights always were frustratingly slow.
