Glow Maps
An example of a glow map.
Glow maps, also known as self-illumination maps, are used to make surfaces appear like they are emitting light. Glow maps are blended additively over a texture, so areas which do not glow at all should be pure black on the glow map, and any brighter colors will appear to be emitting light.
