Indigo materials can now emit light

As you can see here.

This image uses a FBM based shader to modulate the emission.

p.s. Does anyone know if Deviant Art allows deep linking of images?

OMG! Finally....dream material is becoming reality.

Thanks for sharing.

great!

what will happen to meshlights?

Internally they're gone, but they will be accepted in the scene file for backwards compatibility.

This is completely stunning. So in theory we could have alpha-mapped fire that actually emits light? Even volumetric fire, right?

Yeah, you could do 'alpha mapped' fire that emits light.
Volumetric fire... not yet, as emission from media is not supported yet (only surfaces can emit light).

Ok, but if you actually modelled the flame, textured it, and blended it with a null, you could get the same effect as in your image here plus translucency, right? Would certainly be good enough for me.

Awesome news !
This is going to be great for all kinds of stuff.

This explains your last image in the shader tests thread
