Hello – I'm trying to create some geometry as a light, but have been unable to locate in the documentation how to create an emissive material. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello - in a diffuse material > Emission tab > add a Backbody emission or Texture emission node > Define parameters. That's it.

I also recommend watching a few video tutorials by Inlifethrill: https://vimeo.com/inlifethrill/videos

For all the types of shaders, start here (three part video overview):
