Self illumination

Support Materials and Textures

hello,
I am wanting to make a texture that emits light that affects other objects in my scene.
for instance, lets say a have something that I want to look like it it glow in the dark and I want it to not only iluminate itself, but also cast light on other objects.

any ideas??
thanks,

-David
