I have a 3D ship model and I want it to shine only through the windows.
So, If i use SetObjectColorEmissive(), the whole model shines. I´ve trying to use a combination of SetImageTransparentColor() with a certain color in the windows area texture but It didn´t make any difference. So, It is a way, without using shaders, that a texture could hide an area of an objet from being emissive? Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

Maybe make the windows semi-transparent and put a light inside the model

Or maybe make the windows separate objects (limbs) and make them emissive.
Signature removed by mod because it's larger than 600x120... please resize and try again.

Or as meshes, so the ObjectMesh commands can be used.
Failing that, just make it a completely separate model and fixObjectToObject() will give you complete separation.

Look at my space sim thing in the showcase and you'll see exactly this - a ship with a separate window

Thank you all.

Windows are not a real thing, just a drawing in the texture. I was hoping something like an emission map, but will return to edit the whoooole pack of models and add some additional mesh for the windows.

It's kind of a think ahead thing with sub mesh transparency. You are always going to have to render the glass or whatever in a different method, so allow for it at design time.
