You can turn any surface into a "Mesh Emitter" by activating the "Blackbody" or "Texture Emission" of a Diffuse Material.morphious2013 wrote:Searched for a topic I know is here. How to create light emitters for Octane to use. Can someone please enlighten me,
OcDS Specific:
In the DAZ Studio plugin new created blank or default OR materials are "Glossy Materials" that may be the reason why you did not discover the emission options.
