Screen Glow
Here is a home theater room I am designing. I can't figure out how to make the projection screen "glow" or "illuminate". Any suggestions?

tag it as a light source or apply a material with glow.

Since I have a Decal for the screen, the material glow did not work. I ended up placing an omnidirectional light in front of the screen, 60W. I made sure that the light was set to Not Visible. It looks better now.

It might look a lot better as a light source. Make it an area light, make sure to aim it toward the seats, and check the Use Object Color box. I'm pretty sure this one could look a lot better. Upload it if you want me to take a shot at it.

I am uploading my dwg with associated textures. I am not sure if I upload it here in this message or somewhere else.

This works-- there is an upload link under Support if you want to be more private about it.

like Akin said, tag the projection screen as area light, place a decal on top of it and check the "use object color" box. The screen should illuminate the room with the colors of the decal.

Thanks Ian. That is what I was missing, the "use object color". I used the area light on the screen and aimed it toward the seats. I might need to adjust the lighting. I used 60W white light. I used the Hybrid engine, 380 passes. Brightness = -0.3, Burn = 0.2

I've had equal results using either method akinlolu mentioned. The monitor on the left has the screen as a light source. The one on the right has the screen as a glow material. Or maybe it's the other way around...... I'll let you guess.
I do turn the color strength down a bit on the glow material decal as needed to make it look good.

With the house lights raised 5x (using channels) and brightness set to -.4

Where can I find documentation on how to use lighting channels?
