Is there a way to make emission shader not looking flat?

Question

Glow is justice, but-but emission shader looks flat! I believe we can do a greater justice by making it not looking flat. Is there a way to make emission not look flat? I wonder? ><

As Jachym says, you can get a good result with the Principled BSDF (choose a color for Emission, a Strength value will be implemented in the next Blender):

You could also mix the Emission with a Diffuse, but it looks like it needs some subtle tweakings to keep the bloom and prevent the color to be burnt:

Hey :). You could also use the Emission inside Principled BSDF. Then you can easily control roughness and specularity. – jachym michal Oct 29 '20 at 06:28

oh you're right, I couldn't get the same result with the Principled BSDF, I don't know why – moonboots Oct 29 '20 at 07:08
