The material glow but doesn't light up the scene like yours does, any clue why? Thank you

[@poochyboi]

[@adityathosar2026]

My emissive material do not glow... When I increase glow intensity it becomes white !! can you help me? I'm trying to using emissive material on 3d text

[@BMOFILMS]

Mines has a tight glowing inside but a sharp border. How can i fix this?

[@BoBo-ws2mv]

nice tips

[@alcides_acosta]

El video es muy interesante, pero faltaría mejorar la resolución!

[@natemorga]

what about if the mateiral is masked it will not emit

[@laszlosari4831]

it doesnt work fro me for some reason .color is changing but im missing the glow effect

[@ukmonk]

same! I have watched so many tuts and noone explains this!

[@laszlosari4831]

any chance to upload in Full hd ?

[@nemocollects]

just uploaded a new version

[@ferlaur113]

@@nemocollects where?

[@Prez3D]

Great but...emissive materials are great in screen space. The second you hide the source the emissive effect, or bleed on surrounding surfaces disappears. It's useless.

[@Potent1al]

Can you explain a bit more to someone who's thinking of getting into game design?

[@pav5000]

lumen can make it work in global space

[@Prez3D]

@@pav5000 Well it doesn't. I tested it.

[@CONTACTLIGHT2]

Great tutorial! Why is it uploaded in only 480p though? lol!

[@nemocollects]

Thanks alot. There is a better updated version on the channel.

[@ookotaoo6518]

my cube is black for some reason. its not giving off any color or em

[@nemocollects]

Did you increase the emissions strength parameter and click apply and save?

[@princepatootie3357]

Very low quality. But hang in there because its worth it!! AAA+

[@armondtanz]

2022 and its 480p..... Aaaaagh!

[@CreativeOven]

In ue4 does it also cast any illumanation on surfaces.......

[@nemocollects]

I'm not sure about unreal 4 I'm afraid. This tutorial was done in 5 so I imagine they updated their GI renderer and also lumen may have a big part to play in it.

[@CreativeOven]

@@nemocollects Is this lightmass?

[@CreativeOven]

static lighting, or dynamic lighting?

[@dr0mp507]

480p? :(

[@nemocollects]

There is a HD version of the tutorial on my channel

[@medmel2160]

[@nemocollects]

There is a better quality video up on the channel now. Thanks for the support

[@stickmanland]

[@wrfranzoigames7505]

[@nemocollects]

[@HLLVANJA]

[@georgeluna6217]

[@nemocollects]

new version is now up

[@hammadwalid8428]

a video at 480p in 2021?
Improve the quality friend, it looks like you put a 2000 gaussian blur on your video, it looks horrible

[@nemocollects]

New version is now live

[@trolik9113]

Who makes a video in 480p in 2022. No, I can't see what you're talking about.

[@nemocollects]

There is an updated version on my channel. In glorious HD. Enjoy it 😀

[@trolik9113]

I will, I apologize for my frustration lmao. Gets annoying when you come from Blender and all you want to do is increase the intensity of an emissive plane haha. @@nemocollects
