Glow material with Irradiance particles

[SreckoM]

Is it possible to make object glowing using IP instead of FG?

[Mathaeus]

I think they behave like photons, so this probably isn't possible. Maybe I'm wrong...

[Saturn]

what do you mean by glowing ?
Using an object to illuminate his surrounding like setting a constant white shader with FG ?

In this case it will not work with IP.
But you can use a geometry area light since 2011. That would be anyway more precise and flicker free.

Exactly, but I do not need it as main light, more as 'decoration'.
I know about object area lights, but I can not get that nice glow around object with area lights. Or at least I didn't try enough...

In this scene I am not concerned about flicker, but anyway good to know, thanks.

When you are using FG with a constant material on a object for the light source, the thing I don't like is I can't apply a bump to a constant shader.
