Hi everyone,
So I'm having trouble getting realistic results rendering in Arnold lighting a backlit screen for a touch screen type device.
I've tried using Mesh Light and Emission separately and together on the same object. I'm a little stuck., because I'm using a diffuse mapped material and using that object with the mesh light didn't work. I also tried making an object behind the screen with a backlight effect with the meshlight by adding an occlusion map to it which seemed to work, but didn't look very convincing.
Is there an easier way I'm missing?
I attached a low quality test render I did just so you can see where I'm coming from. The screen doesn't give off much light or glowing effect which is what I'm after.
