object emit light

[MENOZ]

hello, i'm trying to make an object that emit light.

in mental ray from maya i know i can turn on final gather and use a surface shader on my object to make this effect.

i post a image to show exactly what i mean.

how can i do this in houdini?

instance lights on scattered points.

Technique that I'm using I know from Modo. I create a little transparent object and in the middle I place point light.

If you're willing to use pbr, it'll work in exactly the way that you're describing - a constant shaded object will emit light by definition.

Yeah... in PRB... a high diff value will make the object emit light.
