Visual element sample: Texture › Light & shadow
Source: https://visual-gallery.asami.tokyo/en/styles/texture-lighting-emissive

An object gives off its own light, which bleeds into a halo and lights nearby surfaces.

## Visual traits
- The glowing object is the brightest thing in the scene and shows almost no shading of its own
- A soft halo bleeds past its outline (bloom)
- Nearby surfaces facing it are lit in its color; light falls off with distance
- The rest of the scene stays dark

## Prompt
Emissive glow lighting: a self-illuminated object is the brightest thing in a dark scene, with almost no shading of its own and a soft bloom halo around its outline. Nearby surfaces facing it pick up its warm color, fading with distance; the rest of the scene stays dark.

## Avoid
external key light, daylight, flat lighting, bright background, cast shadows from the glowing object
