This parameter specifies the base amount of light a material emits (in units of Lumens), which can be modulated using the Emission parameter.
This is used to create light sources.
An example of a 1500 Kelvin blackbody emitter.
RGB: | Light based on colour and brightness. |
Uniform: | A white light with intensity based on value given. |
Blackbody: | Light is based on the temperature. Measured in Kelvin. |
Peak: | Defines a band of wavelengths in which the material emits light. |
Tabulated: | The emission spectrum is specified at regular wavelength intervals, which is useful for entering lab-measured data when a very controlled simulation is required. |
