How to make a photo glow?

Question

Hi! I'm not good at 3d at all or stager at all. I previously (a year or two ago) used dimensions to make photo light boxes, backlit photos that glow. I don't really remember how, but I think I used to make a square with the glowing material and then sandwich a thin square (box) with the glass material in front of the glowing material, and the add a photo as a decal on the glass surface. I've just spent 6hours trying to figure out how to do it again in stager but I can't get the photo to emitt light. The decal is just dead and opaque no matter what I do, do any one here have any tips or suggestions? Think making a backlit sign with a photo on it, how would you do it? I don't have the time to learn blender at the moment.

Hi @Niclas5C4A! At this moment in time, decals are unable to work in that way within Stager. However, there is a workaround solution:

Add a plane
With the plane selected, go to the properties material panel
Drag and drop the image you want to glow into the base color
Then drag and drop the same image into the emissions color
Increase emissions intensity to desired brightness
Enable ray tracing

(There might be some image clippling/distortion doing this method. Creating UVs and making sure the image is the same size as the plane will help prevent distortion)
