Hi all,

I am working on a project, and I would like to be able to show a rendering at night showing the lighting scheme.  The problem is, I would like to include the signage in the lighting scheme, but have no idea how to go about it, other than back-lighting, etc.  I would like to light the sign as would actually be done.  I used model text as usual.  Is there any way to give the model text its own ambient "glow?"  I can't upload a file for it, as the client is confidential.)

Thanks,

Adam

You can set a self illumination property to some materials.   It is a simple checkbox - in materials.
