# Bloom
|
||
|
||
The **Bloom** effect creates fringes of light extending from the borders of bright areas in an image, contributing to the illusion of an extremely bright light overwhelming the Camera.
|
||
|
||
You can also use **Lens Dirt** to apply a full-screen layer of smudges or dust to diffract the Bloom effect.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Properties
|
||
|
||
**Bloom** settings:
|
||
|
||
| Property | Function |
|
||
| :---------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
||
| Intensity | Set the strength of the **Bloom** filter. |
|
||
| Threshold | Set the level of brightness to filter out pixels under this level. This value is expressed in gamma-space. |
|
||
| Soft Knee | Set the gradual threshold for transitions between under/over-threshold (0 = hard threshold, 1 = soft threshold). |
|
||
| Clamp | Set the value for clamping pixels to control the **Bloom** amount. This value is expressed in gamma-space. |
|
||
| Diffusion | Set the extent of veiling effects in a screen resolution-independent fashion. |
|
||
| Anamorphic Ratio | Set the ratio to scale the **Bloom** vertically (in range [-1,0]) or horizontally (in range [0,1]). This emulates the effect of an anamorphic lens. |
|
||
| Color | Select the color of the tint of the **Bloom** filter. |
|
||
| Fast Mode | Enable this checkbox to boost performance by lowering the **Bloom** effect quality. |
|
||
|
||
**Dirtiness** settings:
|
||
|
||
| Property | Function |
|
||
| --------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| Texture | Select a Dirtiness texture to add smudges or dust to the lens. |
|
||
| Intensity | Set the amount of lens dirtiness. |
|
||
|
||
### Details
|
||
|
||
With properly exposed HDR scenes, the `Threshold` should be set to ~1 so that only pixels with values above 1 leak into surrounding objects. Drop this value when working in LDR or the effect won’t be visible.
|
||
|
||
### Performance
|
||
|
||
Lowering the `Diffusion` parameter will make the effect faster. The further away `Anamorphic Ratio` is from 0, the slower it will be. Enable `Fast Mode` if you are developing for mobile or low-end platforms to get a significant boost in performance.
|
||
|
||
Smaller lens dirt textures will result in faster lookup and blending across volumes.
|
||
|
||
### Requirements
|
||
|
||
- Shader model 3
|
