How to make 2D GLOW in Unity!

[@iiguizin9162]

For those who are on a more current version of unity, the main node "Sprite Unlit Master" has been replaced by "Vertex" and "Fragment". So for this effect to work, just connect A(1) of "MainTex / Sample Texture 2D" to Alpha(1) of "Fragment", and connect Out(4) of "Add" to Base Color(3) of " Fragment". Hope this helps :)

[@emredesu]

If you can't see the "Alpha" in "Fragment", click on "Base Color" of "Fragment", click on "Graph Settings" in Graph Inspector, and then set "Surface Type" to "Transparent".

[@nothingatall6703]

Can u please help me how to do the second part where we change the color and intensity of the glow because it doesn't work for me. It's always white color and looks well only when I connect the alpha of the emission / Sample Texture 2D to the multiply

[@nothingatall6703]

Actually the intensity is working and the glow its changing its color but the parts of my character dont change their color, they remain white

[@raahimfareed]

Thank you so much.

[@chimeforest]

My favorite Popcore game is "Watch The Ad", it's this game where you play a super short level of something, and then watch an un-skippable ad which takes longer than the level. Best game ever.

He just loves everything about it

[@neothespankplank5839]

There is 1 thing that really annoyed him back in the days - Camera scripts :D He said that in his Cinemachine tutorial

[@OlivierPons]

Your "How to make a 2D Platformer" is 4 years old, a *lot* has changed since (including how joyful your videos are today!!). Any chance you do it again but with your 4 years+ experience (like a "How to make a 2D Platformer" 2.0)?

[@CartoonH2O]

The problem with long tutorial series like this is that I don't think they get as many views after the first 1 or 2 videos, because a lot of people will start it, then give up. So in terms of monetizing etc, it's probably not as good a moneymaker as random little videos like this. It's a shame because I'd love more tutorial series too.

This was great. I'd love a complete *series* on Shader Graph and the terminology and concepts of shaders to get beginners comfortable creating on their own.

Bro make a tutorial for unity 3d how to make glowing legendary skin and kill effect with lootbox please bro please

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Glow, glow everywhere! Cool 2D Shader, well done

[@LuisGRano]

If your sprite is still showing as a blank square even after following every step, you just need to connect the alpha (A(1)), from the Sample Texture 2D of the MainTex(T2), to the alpha(1) from the Fragment section (below Base Color(3)). Seems like in lastest versions of Unity they changed the Sprite Unlit Master, so there are some differences.

[@TheCrushiii]

Hey, I am sorry but I can't find this "Alpha channel" in Fragment...Can you tell me where it is ? It seems that unity update this...

For anyone wondering why they cannot see MainTex properties in Shader graph window... It is now moved to -> Graph inspector -> Node Settings tab

[@UnluckyIAM]

Amazing! Yesterday I've been worried about how to make some cool 2D Lighting Glow. I checked your 2D Lights video, but it already isn't up-to-date and it basically didn't work. Voilà, now you made this great video that really helped me. Love u Brackeys! :D

[@theStroke]

When I watch videos like this it makes me feel like I will never know how to fully use this software...

[@artjom5617]

haha yeah man me too. but after some years now i did see alot and know alot about Unity. the most stuff i learn from videos like these, they are doing some stuff i didnt know it exit, then i check it out, play a little bit and know it. if i get into my own games, i will now always remember there was something cool with glow effects, i will probably get back here and rewatch it and learn it even better... thats the way i go^^

[@MRBenjii]

I've been using unity for like 5 years and for the life of me no matter what i read i couldn't figure out 'bloom', i managed to follow along and instead of 2d sprites i managed to get it working for 3d objects, because the principle is pretty much the same and MY GOD its finally up and running, its amazing what a little bit of glow can do for the visuals of a game 10/10 for this tutorial!!!!!

[@shibuyajin_music]

for anyone having trouble following the exact same steps, try changing the "color mode" of your emissive map png to "indexed", the option should be available on most image editing programs (eg. aseprite). It magically worked for me

[@CodingJedi]

This looks really cool would definitely use it! And the monk is amazing!

[@malltshik]

That is mind blowing staff! Awesome dude!

[@ILoveThisGame778]

I am rashid iqbal from Pakistan .When i started learning games from KZbin i was so disappointed but when i was searching for courses i found your video about top down shooting. Thats where i found my buddy. And today following your tutorials i completed my first mobile game. Only ads integration remaining. I searched your channel but there is no video about reward video ads but i am searching it i just want to say thank you sir. You are amazing

i've been using unity professionally for 8 years and you just blew my mind

[@2dinunity10]

@@m4r5w0n6 my mind was blown too when I learned this

[@tafaar_]

For anyone else that was running into the issue where the entire sprite would start glowing instead of just the emission node, I think I found a solution. Instead of linking the multiply node Out(4) directly into the add node, link it into a new multiply node alongside the A(1) from the emission sample texture. You should be able to see your emission texture with the color you've assigned now, and then you can plug the Out(4) into the add node and things should work as expected.

[@Amberleen_the_Light_Eevee]

Sprite characters with glow effect is such a beautiful charm "Eev!" ❤️

[@greggunther]

Wow. That was amazing. I started in Unity years ago but didn't really take it very far. Now I'm getting the 'bug' again to get back into game dev. There was so much in this video. Stuff I never even saw before. All those node thingys. What even was all that. I guess I need to learn a lot more. Thanks.

[@yusrighouse]

Man shader graph is such a powerful tool. Brackeys, we need more content related to shader graph.

[@NihongoWakannai]

1:37 that's not true, bloom is an effect that happens in the lens of the camera. This is why a light source which is partly occluded by an object will have its bloom overlap that object, because the bloom happens in-lens and isn't a physical phenomenon happening to the light itself in the air.

[@hiiambarney4489]

also if your windows are pretty dirty.

[@alextrollip7707]

yes it is, but the Bloom in games is just trying to reproduce that

[@NihongoWakannai]

@@alextrollip7707 I'm aware. But bloom is not an effect caused by "light moving through the air" it is from light interacting with the camera.
