ianoreo Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Hello, I am curious if it is possible to illuminate a volume with the light emitted from the emissive channel of a redshift material. I can't seem to find anything regarding "volume contribution" within the materials and there doesn't seem to be much documentation on the subject. For example, embers emitted from a flame should illuminate the rising smoke. Thanks! ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atom Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) No, that is a limitation of Redshift. What you can do, is turn the same object that has the emission matterial into a mesh light which will give you volume contribution and samples controls. This gives you a single colored light emission. You can go one step further, if your object has a material and UVs, and bake out the map on the object and the use that map to project multiple colors from the mesh light.
