An old professor of mine is a Brazil fanatic. He once showed me how to build a material using an output map that would actually throw light. This was in Brazil, and I am using MR. Does anyone know if it is possible in MR, and if show what is the procedure?

I want a light emitting window. Check out an early render of the scene I am working on. http://www.chrisdinicolas.com/tub.jpg

Thanks for your time

Why don't you just put a spot light outside the window and make it cast shadows? Maybe you should exclude the glass in the exclude dialog. I can't see where you need a material throwing light in this case.
Maybe I misunderstood what you want... :)
Cheers!
