Subject: Self Illuminated materials??
Try this thread. I've been playing with it. It's not something that happens right away but with some experimentation it should happen.

Remember, sometimes the dragon wins. Correction: MOST times.
You are going to have to cheat by using a spot light, and maybe depending on the situation, some volumetrics.
stwerer is right though ( as always LOL) you will have to boost the objects abients.

If anyone can help, it's bagginsbill. Have a look at that thread. It might help you. If not you can try posting to ask if it's possible for your project."It is good to see ourselves as
others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we
are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not
angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi

See my post from Thu, May 17, 2007 5:17 pm for more ideas.
Confusion alert.
Self-illuminating? You mean you want an object to be bright even if there are no lights in the scene, right? No problem - use the ambient as people said. For a movie or image map, you don't even have to do that. Plug it straight into the Alternate_Diffuse input. Make sure you turn off Diffuse_Value and Specular_Value, unless you want to simulate a glass surface on top of the image - then use specular as well.
Illuminating other things? Its best to set up one or more lights (spot or point) parented to the object. A point light just in front of the middle of a TV screen works pretty well Use ray-traced shadows on it. You could use spot lights, but they only spread up to 160 degrees - so I use two or more if I need a lot of nearby objects lit, to get those last 20 degrees covered.
Illuminated BY other things? That would be the Gather node, but it is really bad - produces grainy results or is excruciatingly slow.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)

How do you make a material self illuminated in Poser?
In 3D Max this would be simple, but I cant figure how how to do this
in Poser and there is nothing in the manual or on the net.
Any help appreciated.
