This is so good! 🙌

Do you have any references please?

Looks like this app doesn’t have a bookmark feature. I need it so badly haha!

And... That is how I implement Bloom.

These resources go into more detail on the topic of Bloom.

(7/8) Get Beautiful Glow

In Reality, very hot objects emit light and when a camera sees it, the brightest part appears white and the glow can be seen around it.

To get this effect, I found out that we need to push the final color beyond 1. Here is a very simple Material that demonstrates this.

(6/8) Make an object glow.

The default practice that I came across online was to just set the emissive property of the material and increase the emissive intensity.

But, this looks UGLY.🫣

(5/8) Setup Bloom Effect:

NOTE: You can make the threshold higher depending on your scene.

(4/8)

So, what's the solution? We have a few options:

1. Selective Bloom
2. Using multiple bloom passes to tune the effect
3. and, a better method I found out is to just set a very high threshold and push colors beyond "1" on all channels.

(I am using method 3 in this project⬇️)

(3/8) Amazing Glow Effects in The Wild

The most perfect threejs Bloom I have seen belong to projects made by
@Jessezhouu(twitter). And a more recent example is @bruno-simon.bsky.social's new portfolio.

(2/8)
I struggled to get perfect bloom in my projects. The default Bloom Effect was visually good, but it made every object glow.

I tried using SelectiveBloom for a while. While we can make specific objects glow, the downside is that the visual quality not as good as the default bloom effect.

(1/8) TL;DR:
Bloom started appearing in games and 3D rendering as a way to make bright areas of a scene glow realistically. It quickly became essential for enhancing 3D scenes.

Think of the glowing swords, neon lights or magic spells in games. Those effects are enhanced with Bloom.

Oops, I posted it on Twitter, forgot to post it here. Will do it today. Thanks for the reminder haha.

Sweet Orange Glow.
