Emission node in 2.81 not working iun Cycles I've got an standard material on a cylinder outside windows which I am using to emit a texture for light - unfortunately the material seems to take the colour from the emission within the material as opposed to from the emission node (which doesn't see it). I'm totally flummoxed. To illustrate the issue I've put a blue emission node on the material ouside the windows but as you can see it's taking the red colour from the emission within the material and refuses to see the blue node. Any help appreciated.
There are multiple shader nodes that you can use to build materials. The "Principled BSDF" is an uber shader which gives a lot of options in a single node, one of which is emission. That shader will emit light when the color is changed to something other than black. If you want an image to be used as an emission light, plug the image into the color input on either the emission node or the principled bsdf, not both.
