Emission Map​

  • UI Type : Color Texture
  • Output format : BC7 [RGBA]

Emission Map Type​

  • UI Type : Slider Int
    • Range : 1 - 2

Selects between the Emission Map and Gradient Map for emission. Emission Map samples the emission normally. While Gradient Map samples Gradiation Emission Mapping.

Emission Intensity​

  • UI Type : Slider Float
    • Range : 0.0 - 5.0

Controls the intensity of Emission. A value of 1 can be enough to make the color glow. More than 1 can make the emission make more glow and give Bloom effect if Bloom post-processing is used.

Emission Lighting Mix​

  • UI Type : Slider Float
    • Range : 0.0 - 1.0

Controls the Lighting Adaption of Emission. A value of 0 will make it stay glow in dark areas while 1 will make it adapt to the lighting gently.

This can be used when you only want to boost the material's brightness while still making it adapts to the lighting. Lit Intensity can be used for this case as well.
