Emissive textures

Support Materials and Textures

On ZBrush Central I noticed a couple of the Dominance War entries used emissive textures. Pressumably these were used to place lit up areas on the model.

I was wondering if Blender has anyway of doing the same thing using a similar texture.

Check out these entries for examples:

You can map an image to Emit. Which would cause the colored parts of the image to act as emitters on the material. Checkout this thread by BigBad from a few weeks ago:
