Creating a laptop or TV screen

[kavorka]

How do you go about adding in the sceen of a laptop? Is there a way to make a material full bright?
Do people just do this as a post process effect?

use an emission node and use the texture image of the screen you want as your laptop image as the emission node.
crank the power down a bit and you are good to go.

I have even used a material mix with a glossy surface and the emission node that gives an even more realistic look.

If this does not make sense.... let me know I will give you more specifics

ya, put that aside until just now, but I am still having problems. Any way you could post an image showing your setup?

See if this helps ya. If ya have any questions fire away.

Nice printscreen and tutorial for making a screen. I'll try that as an exercice. Thanx Peter,
Very helpful.

So, am I correct to think that I should turn the sampling rate down on my monitor emitters? If so, how low should I turn it down?
