# Emission

Makes a material emit light, allowing it to glow regardless of the scene’s lighting. The effect becomes more pronounced in darker environments.

A custom glow color can be selected to achieve different lighting effects.

Emission textures are often used to make textured objects appear brighter and less dependent on scene lighting. Typically, the same texture used for **Color** is applied to **Emission** to enhance brightness and visibility.
