Maya Glow Map

Alphavader

Heey girls,


iam looking for a glowmap-way in maya.

The model is handpainted and has only a diffuse map + AO shader.
The object is prerendered in mental ray - so i only need a rendering solution


/btw. why is marmoset toolsbag in 1.06 only making the glow white but not shine ?

Here is a Maya image -
thanks for helping

(the ramp shader and file1 was a way to get the glowmap glow - nothing special )

If you are trying to make your object seem self-illuminated, try plugging your glow texture into the Ambient Color channel. If you want to change the color of the glow, just add color to the texture!

The 'glow intensity' in Maya is just a post-process effect, it doesn't really change the underlying object and it only functions at render time. Not terribly useful IMO.

Thanks MethodJ for your reply.. i tried another way - and it worked .. you plug the "glowmap" in the Icandescence and in the glow itensity .. simple
