Hi there,
I watched one of the videos from the guy from Architecture Inspiration and he illustrated how when he ads emmission to a Light bulb (not the glass) he manages to not only get the objects to become brighter but they have a distinct glow. I tried this myself, and even though I upped the brightness there is not any glowing effect outside of the bulb as he indicated. Is this something that has been removed? Maxed out on the lumens but no volumetric effect at all...
Any help will be awesome thanks.
EDIT: here's an attachment of what I mean. The glass of the bulb is also completely transparent but even if I remove the glass there's no change to the extent of the glow - this is set to max intensity on the self-illumination too.
Emmissive Object - zero glow

Demian Gutberlet - any ideas? Is this something that was in previous versions but not in 2.7 perhaps? Thank you.

edit for double post... don't know what happened

Thank you for the reply. So essentially the excessive "glow" will only happen when the emissive material is hard up against a surface as in your first two pictures.
It appears from what Ive seen from videos in earlier Enscape versions that the same effect would be possible for items hanging in space such as a bulb, without any surface to cause the glow nearby to be necessary.

no they should just self emit and the geometry should appear to glow. you get more light fall off on objects they are close to. If you look at my other posted image of the light fixture you can see that the filaments of the lights are glowing. It does seem strange that yours is at full power, and the filament isn't brighter. Is your auto-exposure setting off?
-
yes auto exposure is off - ive tried just about everything. At first I thought the fillaments were insufficient so i doubled them but still...somewhat of a glow from very close but just a blip from further out.
Doubt this could have anything to do with GPU? Will check my settings again, try to match what you indicated and see a comparison.

Valaskjalf , my apologies for the late reply. Is this problem actually still existing on your machine? If so, then we would more than gladly have a look at your logs/machine info:
