Mapdev:lightemission

Light Emission Texture

Adds colour to a fragment (pixel). The colour added is the RGB colour of the emission texture, while the alpha of the emission texture determines the amount of the original colour that remains.

Can be used for accentuation. For example, metal spots in shadowed regions

Example

Map without light emission	Map with light emission
Without Light Emission Texture	With Light Emission Texture
