Controls the overall intensity of the light emission produced by the material.

Strength represents the main energy control of the shader and determines both the perceived brightness of the surface and the amount of indirect illumination generated in Cycles.

Defines the main emission color and determines the source used by the shader, representing the entry point of the entire shader color pipeline.

It can receive a uniform color, such as a constant value or a manually selected color using the integrated color picker, or any color output generated by Blender® nodes, including bitmap textures and procedural textures such as Noise, Color Ramp, and Gradient.

When an external texture is connected, the uniform color is automatically replaced by the texture content.

Enables physically based color temperature simulation using the Blackbody model.

Determines the light color temperature expressed in Kelvin ("K").

Lower values generate warmer tones, while higher values produce progressively cooler colors.

Enables the color processing tools below — Filter, Brightness, Contrast, Hue, Saturation, and Inverted Color — applied to the color or texture before it reaches the emissive output.

Controls the intensity with which the color filter is applied to the original signal.

Applies a color filter directly over the input texture or color.

The behavior is similar to theatrical and cinematic lighting gels, allowing quick color modifications without altering the original texture.

Adjusts the brightness of the color or texture before emissive processing.

Increases or decreases the difference between bright and dark areas of the texture.

High values create more pronounced textures, while low values produce a softer result.

Rotates the color hue, allowing quick creation of color variations.

Controls the color intensity of the texture.

A value of 0 produces a completely grayscale image, while values above 1 increase color saturation.

Completely inverts all colors of the input signal.

Enables or disables all Artistic Mode features.

When enabled, all artistic controls become available and can influence the emission according to their individual settings.

When disabled, the shader bypasses every artistic modification and outputs the original emission.

Controls the overall influence of every Artistic Mode adjustment.

This master parameter blends all artistic modifications—including Light Shape, Diffuse, Glossy, Transmission, and Volume adjustments—between the original emission and the fully processed result.

Lower values preserve more of the original appearance, while higher values progressively apply the complete artistic effect.

Controls the overall contribution of the emissive material across all Ray Types simultaneously.

This parameter acts as a global multiplier for the Ray Mix system, allowing the entire ray contribution to be increased or reduced with a single control before applying individual adjustments to each ray type.

• 0.0 disables the contribution of all Ray Types.
• 1.0 preserves the original ray behavior.
• Intermediate values proportionally reduce the contribution of every ray type.
• Higher values increase the overall contribution while maintaining the relative balance between individual ray controls.

Controls how much the emitted light affects diffuse surfaces, combining both direct illumination and indirect diffuse light bounces.

Higher values preserve the full diffuse lighting contribution, while lower values reduce it without affecting the other Ray Types.

Controls the contribution of emission visible in glossy reflections, combining both direct and indirect reflective contributions.

Higher values increase the visibility of the emissive source in reflections on glossy and reflective surfaces.

Controls the emission contribution through transparent materials.

It affects the behavior of rays passing through glass, liquids, and transmissive materials.

Controls the interaction between emission and volumetric shaders.

It affects how emissive light contributes when interacting with fog, smoke, and participating media.

Enables or disables the entire Light Decay system.

Determines the distance from which the first attenuation begins.

Controls the softness of the first attenuation.

Higher values produce a sharper transition.

Determines the maximum distance beyond which the light contribution is completely attenuated.

Controls the softness of the final fade.

Higher values create a more abrupt transition, while lower values produce smoother attenuation.

Allows emission to be visible on both sides of the geometry.

Disabled by default, only the front-facing side of the mesh produces emission.

Enables or disables the visible emissive component.

The object can continue contributing as an emissive source while reducing or completely removing the visible appearance of the emission.

Controls the intensity of the visible light component.

Determines the intensity with which the Color Filter is applied to the visible emission component.

Applies a final color filter exclusively to the visible emission component.

Unlike the Filter located in the Texture Settings section, this filter operates during the final stage of the shader, allowing the original texture color to be modified without affecting the emitted light energy or previous processing stages.

It is designed to simulate theatrical gels, photographic filters, and color corrections applied directly to the visible light source.

Allows a grayscale mask (non-color data) to be connected to control the material transparency.

White areas are fully visible, while black areas become completely transparent.

Controls the brightness level of the connected Alpha mask.

Increasing the value makes the mask progressively brighter, increasing visible areas.

Lower values reduce mask influence.

Controls the contrast between visible and transparent areas of the Alpha mask.

Higher values create a sharper transition between black and white areas.

Lower values produce smoother transparency gradients.

Inverts the behavior of the Alpha mask.

Enables the integrated Principled BSDF controls (Base Color, Roughness, and the rest of the Surface parameters) as the surface foundation.

When disabled, the shader uses only the Emission output as its base, without any surface information — the object no longer responds to reflections, shading, or other surface properties, and is affected only by direct light contribution.

When enabled, Emission Pro uses an external shader connected to the Shader Input socket, disabling the integrated BSDF shader controls.

This allows all emissive features of the system to be applied on top of any existing Blender® or third-party material without modifying the original workflow.

Dedicated input socket for connecting an external shader.

The connected shader is processed as the surface component while preserving all Emission Profeatures.

Dedicated non-color mask input that lets a single material contain self-illuminated and non-emissive areas at the same time.

White areas of the mask reveal Emission Pro's emissive output; black areas reveal the surface connected to Shader Input instead, with no emission at all.

Defines the main color of the surface material.

Controls the metallic behavior of the material.

Determines the surface roughness and therefore the diffusion of reflections.

Defines the Index of Refraction of the material.

Allows the material to be treated as an infinitely thin surface (Blender® 5.2+), useful for glass, films, and materials without physical thickness.

Dedicated input for Normal Maps or any node modifying the orientation of surface normals.

Determines the roughness of the microstructure of the diffuse surface.

Controls the Subsurface Scattering properties of the material.

Controls light transmission through the material.

Adds an independent transparent surface layer.

Controls the Sheen contribution.

Simulates optical interference phenomena typical of iridescent materials.
