How to make an object emit light?

[Anonymous]

Hey!

Greetings to all!

I kindly ask you for help, is it possible to make an object emit light using cinema render in AC 18 ?

I would appreciate your assistance, i´m not having so much time to search the documentation.

Have a nice day!

You can make surfaces glow.

Here is a quick tutorial vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J44LzIypdwE

Use a surface with glow for the part of the object you want to emit light.

Don't forget to enable 'illuminating surfaces' in the cinerender settings under Light Adjustments.
