Lighting & Rendering • Mesh Lights

 

with a little edit of the few photos I made the gif above

Meshlights, interesting way to light the scene, but it came with a warning that it may take a while to render.

In the image are simple spheres, I am curious to how this would work on something more complex looking, and what if the light was a gif?
The above gif could have been more smooth if I ran it through Maya as fading lights with the graph editor.
I may want to explore this a little more.
