I want to apply a transparent texture to an emssion node in a way that the the emission node will emit just from the not transparent parts of the image texture. How to achieve this effect ?

Hard to tell what you're asking without any examples. – Greg Zaal Sep 15 '14 at 10:56

2Use the alpha as the factor for a mix shader of Transparent and Emision – someonewithpc Sep 15 '14 at 11:21

Are you going for something like this?
If so, then it's as simple as someonewithpc said, just an Emission shader mixed with a Transparent shader using the texture for the Fac.

hey, i am using this setup but I want to animate the map. Not simply control the total transparency of the texture but rather for example have a spherical alpha ring / wave effect on the texture. Would anybody know how to do that? Technically masking the texture that goes into the factor node for the mix? – Avion32 Oct 05 '20 at 21:11
