the only way that I've seen so far is to turn on the bloom effect in the post-processing filter tab. Theres an option for emission maps but from what i've seen that only increases/decreases the contrast on blocks whiting them out. maybe im just using them wrong but activating the bloom effect does appear to make glowing blocks glow.
What I did in order to get lights to actually emit light, is that I went to the mtl_0 material. I changed the base color texture to t000NoLights (Included in this post). Then I enabled emission, and changed the emission texture to t000LightsOnly (Also included to this post) I set the emission strength to 15. I feel like this looks really good together with the bloom effect! I updated tradestation eta if you are curious about how it looks.
followed the instructions and all its doing is making the entire ship glow not just the lights.
there we go. that worked. Now we gotta make emission sheets for every light source
just discovered that with this one you don't even need the texture sheet without the light blocks. It compounds the light with the desired textures.there we go. that worked. Now we gotta make emission sheets for every light source
while that one worked if you use it in conjunction with the one diffuse map that has the light textures removed then the emission map acts as the light texture and comes out already dim. try just use the default diffuse map and then use the ones I made. The brightness seems to compound.I am not getting nearly as much glow as you. I selectedfor my emission map and turned it to 100% but it hardly glows. Do I need to delete the other ones as well?
Do I just go to manage textures under emission and add those three texture sheets?
yes. Match each emission map with its appropriate texture sheet. just do this for all three texture sheets and your models should glow like they do in game.
No, you add the emission map on top of it essentially. The emission maps are exactly the same as the regular texture sheet. just go to the emssion tab and add the map. it will go on top of the regular diffuse map and make the blocks glow.
Of course! Putting an emission as overlay over the usual texture will be way more effective... great job on getting those other light sources working by the way! I updated my models so they have that epic lighting everywhere nowthere we go. that worked. Now we gotta make emission sheets for every light source

[doublepost=1474938602][/doublepost]ok i've messed around with the emission map for this and ive found that if you just color all the blocks you dont want glowing black it will make the glows that you do want to glow glow without screwing up the rest of the model.
[doublepost=1474939980][/doublepost]ok i've managed to create some better emission maps.

that make all the glowing blocks glow properly without messing with the other blocks.

the rendering speed does appear to be based on your rig. Its fast for me on my desktop but very slow on my old laptop.
