Light emitted by texture.

[Abad]

Hi, I don't know if this can be done in Iray, as I don't use it very much....
I need the video game screen to shine like a real CRT, that is, to emit light on the player with its colors.
This model is from "80's arcade" which is on this site....
Is this possible?

Go to the Surfaces tab and see if the screen can be selected. If it can just add an emissive iray shader to it and play around. I don't have that exact model but the one's I do have already have lit screens.

If you just need static luminosity/illumination from a texture image you can add the diffuse map (whether the default of the screen if it's separate or selectable, as @inversekinematics suggested, or one of your choice or construction) to the Emission Color channel of the surface, change color to white, and crank up the Luminance until it's what you want.

For animated textures, there are mCasual's MatAnim script (free):

@abad Awesome. Your CV now includes Coin Op Machine Repair. Cool reflections off the cabinet sides.

@spats , in reality, the game was a challenge from a friend who organizes a party/show/convention about retro-games, cosplays, manga, etc...
I'm not into graphic art, but I thought it was fun....
The first idea was to "parody" the poster of the film "Akira".
Here are some tests...
