In Canvas Studio, an Emissive Map lets specific parts of a surface glow as if they’re self-lit. Perfect for neon signage, LED strips, lava veins, or sci-fi hull lights. The map is multiplied by an Emissive Color tint and boosted by Emissive Intensity, so a white bitmap under a red tint becomes red light, while gray values create subtler glows. Because emissive pixels add light after shading, they’re visible even in total darkness and are unaffected by scene lights or shadows.
Wrap S / Wrap T – define what happens when UVs go beyond 0-1 in the horizontal (S) or vertical (T) direction. Repeat tiles the image, Clamp stretches the edge pixels, and Mirrored tiles while flipping every other tile for a checker-seam look.
Flip Y – inverts the texture vertically; turn it on if your image appears upside-down due to differing UV origins.
Anisotropy – boosts texture sharpness at glancing angles; higher numbers keep details crisp on surfaces seen from the side.
Emissive Color – tint applied to the map; pure white keeps original hues, any color re-tints the emission.
Emissive Intensity – numeric multiplier that scales overall glow strength; 0 turns emission off, higher values make it bloom brightly.
Rotation – spins the entire UV space (in radians), letting you align stripes or grain precisely.
offset X / offset Y – shift the starting point of the texture; handy for sliding patterns or matching seams.
repeat X / repeat Y – control how many times the image tiles across each axis: use integers for even tiling or fractions for stretch effects.
center X / center Y – set the pivot for rotation and scaling; (0.5, 0.5) rotates around the texture’s true center, while (0, 0) pivots around the lower-left corner.
With these controls you can paint glowing circuits onto elements, light up cockpit panels, or create animated billboards—adding eye-catching highlights without extra geometry or real-time lights.
