BLOOM in the VIEWPORT - Eevee & Cycles - Blender 4.2

[@TheMegaMinx]

To speed up your viewport with compositor effects, make sure you turn on the GPU compostior in Render > Preformance > Compostior

[@hashman63]

Briefly, clearly, to the point, without water! Everyone should do such tutorials. Thank you very much.

[@jasonhall8882]

It's still a lot of hassle... then just a tick box... appreciate you doing this vid of course, but I'm personally still not happy with this change.

[@GrimbornWolf]

Well its just a hassle once, when you set it up in your blender default scene

[@RemyDrijkoningen]

Yeah i wish they just keep the checkbox in the render menu and when you tick it it adds those nodes for you. I appreciate more controls but turning what was possible with 1 action into 10 actions isn't progress. Maybe it could like many things in blender be just a checkbox that then let u jump to the node setup if you want "advanced" control

[@kylejennings819]

I totally agree- removing the quick box was such a stupid move. Also the glare node in compositor kiiinda sucks imo compared to the one in properties pannel But like, Nodewranger still doesnt come default enabled, physics still sucks, caustics are way off, geo nodes missing alot still too.

[@dallasscandling6329]

Strongly agree. I miss the bloom check box

[@KIRKILLER38]

There must be a reason they’ve moved it to compositing. Maybe to help with render speeds, especially with the added ray tracing? Idk

[@deltaray3]

Wow! Running compositor effects in the viewport in real time is amazing stuff. Way to go team Blender.

[@Masebook_]

Thank you! It works adding glare node in the compositing mode... too! (Active from viewport shading the compositor; always).

[@GrimbornWolf]

Pretty cool follow up on the "Where is Bloom in Blender" vid. Going to update my default scene 👍🏻

[@jermesastudio]

Thank you for this tutorial. It has been very helpful for my work.

[@rieger.design]

Thanks you. My favorite type of videos. Short and to the point!

[@beaconbin465]

Thank you so much! I'm actually part of your class in Udemy and got very confused as to where to find bloom, screen space reflection and ambient occlusion.

[@sottozen]

Wow... Thanks for the awesome tip!!!

[@user-bd6cr2tz5y]

Crazy Bro ! Thanks!

[@VSWRKS]

Thanks Grant!

[@schroedingersdog7965]

Thanks very much, Grant! 👍

[@salimamir3263]

Mr. Grant, may I request to create 3dcoat texturing process? Or blender to 3dcoat for beginner tutorial? Thank you

[@mubeenrahman_codname]

love your work

[@CuriousJourn]

thank youuuuuuu!!! I really hate this change, its really annoying. but this has helped massively

[@Snowfinger]

Hello Grant, thanks for the Video, are you happy that the old Bloom was taken out of Blender and now has to be edited via the Compositor? The old Bloom was much better and, in my Opinion and I'm certainly not alone in my Opinion, should be firmly integrated into Blender again like in the previous Versions.

[@alicegreen380]

Agree! It would be better if they didn't do this imho

[@moreboss8]

Wow thanks man....

[@Jester.Blender]

is there a difference between the emission from the BSDF and the emission node by itself? would the bloom/fog glow work the same?

[@grabbitt]

i dont think so

[@burhan3d930]

Perfect

[@robwahl]

Hopefully they put it back in the next version

[@IwzArt]

This is helpful. Thanks!

[@justanothernobody7142]

This seems like a step back. I've only got a single default cube in my scene and this noticeably drops framerame whilst it's on and I have an RTX2070. This never happened with the old bloom. Edit* Ok it seems like fog glow is the culprit, set the node to bloom and it runs normal. Apparently fog glow runs on the CPU not the GPU. Second Edit* It's not fog glow that was the problem it's that the performance for compostitor effects are set to CPU by default and you need to set it to GPU. Render tab > Performance > Compositor

[@AirZeee]

any idea how to script/batch cook individual animation frames? Blender Animation Render exports individual frames, so i'd like to bloom them all :)

[@grabbitt]

When you render the animation blender will do the compositing for each frame make sure you hook up the output

[@Fessoid]

Nice, very nice... Let's see Paul Allen's Bloom (v4.1) :D

[@kryttee]

Hey Grant, I'm new to blender - how did you setup the blue object in the background which looks like a folded sheet of paper. I've seen many people do it but I don't how it's called and how to get this effect.

[@grabbitt]

It's called an infinity screen. I'll create a short at some point but it's easy to look up

[@salazar665]

Nice

[@mind_of_a_darkhorse]

The newly updated Machine Tools 1.10 has tackled this problem for Cycles and Eevee Next using a menu option.

[@lostinanime864]

whenever i use bloom it also applied to area light automatically ???

[@inam348]

Did you find the answer i have same problem

[@lostinanime864]

@@inam348 decrease volume in world setting... that fog thing

[@mincepie3452]

hoooomygod thank you legend

[@dertobbe1176]

When I turn it in everything is flickering. Even without emission. How to fix this?

[@inam348]

When i apply glare node its adding it to my environment too can anywhen help, i need to use it in one object only

[@grabbitt]

Look up render layers

[@CinemaAnimation1402]

🙏

[@theslicefactor4590]

Blender dev team once again "fixing" something that worked fine. I'd love to know their logic behind making such stupid changes.

[@FirstLast_Nba]

Boooooom, Next Question.....

[@HarryLarsson-b2n]

where is the compositor layer in 3.4

[@juanm4506]

ah Blender, eternal learning

[@jamus1217]

Node Wrangler gets unlimited free advertising lol

[@Matt-e8e]

anybody know a why of bloom only effecting certain objects or colours in the scene?

[@grabbitt]

Threshold

[@forcews]

Bloom in viewport should work without any camera or rendering(like it was on 4.1) as sometimes you just model and check assets before exporting to next app.

[@juanX82]

Literally, I can't export the bloom with a transparent background; I can only export it, but I can't get the alpha with the glowing edges. I need it to be transparent because I work with VJing software, and the animations need to have transparent backgrounds.

[@Atimo133]

sincerely, just dont use the compositor if you expect stable running blender, no matter if CPU or GPU I have a high end machine here lagging bc of the compositor

[@JuniorStreetCrew]

thats so annoying, why they removed the bloom option?

[@Eduardo54cenationx2]

Make sure to save it as your Startup File so you don't have to do this again

[@grkpektis]

WTF is wrong blender, before all I had to do is click a button on the side now I have to do all this crap. I’m never updating again

[@Robbeddall]

I can't understand why they have done this. Using compositor in the viewport in real time comes with a massive performance hit. It used to just work. I used to be able to work with emissives in real time. now I can't. Which is a pain in the ass when you working with scenes that have a lot of emissives. bleh. actually, if you set the glare node to use Bloom rather than Fog Glow then the performance hit is minimal.

[@myth_bunny]

Your face is a bloom ❤

[@grabbitt]

😄

[@DanielMartin-op7yk]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@freepalestine6882]

why blender did it??? I thought it would be cool if they added bloom in cycle like in eevee without extra moves... but now they removed it from eevee(( did they hire some one from autodesk? or what?

[@english_5359]

I don’t like 4.2 so far. Bloom and ambient occlusion on eevee has gone to somewhere.

[@butlerbb]

._. and why blender do that shit?

[@Silas_412]

First to comment Ha 😅
