self iluminated material in vray

[Juliano Rocha]

Hi 3d people!

Does anyone knows how to make a self iluminated material in vray?? i need a material wich is a kind of a light source, like a luminaire bulb. I tried a lot of configs in vray materials, but it did´nt work........

Any help will be usefull.

Thank you very much.

just use a standard max material w/ self illumination, vray will treat the self-illumination as a light source

err...viz material ....same thing

Use a standard material with an output map in the self illum channel(with the color you like best) and raise the output level to 10, 20, etc.

 

if you plan to use this geometry as the only light source, you should include a light in your scene with 0 intensity value.

Ok. i think now i can do wath i want. But i have to make another question. Does anyone knows why this kind of thing happens (see the image)?? it always shows up in white materials. In this case, is just a standard max material with a clear white in the diffuse slot.

There could be 2 things:

 

1.- Your monitor resolution is low

 

2.- You are using an illegal version and that's an authorization problem.
