Luminous materials are a great addition to Vue. With these you not only can create interesting night time scenes but also useful microstock-worthy pictures.
I just told you that white is the favorite microstock color. But black has its uses as well. Bright colors just look bettter on a blackground, and by using luminosity you can further enhance this effect.
While white backround pictures appeal more to the general mainstream media, the combination of luminous colors with black leans more toward technological and youthful topics.
Creating luminous materials in Vue is so easy that you don’t really need a screenshot. Just open the advanced material editor and select the effects tab on the far right. Setting the “Luminosity slider to a non-zero value turns on the effect. Just play around to see what looks good. Also the combination of luminosity and glow can give interesting results.
As an example I included the green glass material from the first picture as a free download.
