transparent selfillumination material

[max montana]

hi, i face the problem that i don`t know how to make a transparent selfilluminated material. i need this to make an abstrakt nightrendering, where i want to use it for windowglass, etc. never used sss-material, would thisbe the best choice, or make a mixed material, one selfillu, the other one with transparency?
thx

I believe you can use a vraylightmtl and map the opacity with a vraycolor map. The opacity/transparency will not affect the light output.

thx, i`ve put the vraycolormap in the opacity slot of the vraylight material, but cant make it transparent. alpha 0,0-1,0 and r/g/b values from 0,0-1,0 always bring the same result - no transparency.

The material is probably transparent if you look at the alpha channel, but that does not modify the amount of light it emits. To do this you will need to manually turn down the brightness of the emissive color.

Best regards,

In other words, put your mask in both slots of the vraylight material
