Is there a glowing (i.e. emitting light) effect for objects?

You can do this with the path tracers. To do so:

  1. turn on ray tracing
  2. switch the “back end” to either either “OSPRay path tracer” or “OptiX path tracer”.
  3. Select an object in the pipeline browser and increase the “Luminosity” to anything more than the 0 default.

The color emitted is that of the object’s Solid Color (White is the Default). Note that the above image was made with a prototype that had material level controls that are not yet in ParaView master, but would be really fun to polish and integrate.
