Can we have emissions without UniversalRenderPipeline? You don't show us how to use it with the C# scripts to activate and make changes into the game script area?

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

@@catafest Yes each render pipeline is slightly different. For HDRP it's pretty similar but for the built-in you need the post processing stack v2

Thanks Code Monkey!!!!!!!!!!! After fifteen minutes of trying to figure out what I did wrong I still couldn't get my bloom to work even though I've done probably 10 times before.

[@patthompson008]

For anyone getting stuck at 1:48 where he accesses a mysterious, editable Universal Render Pipeline Asset to enable HDR & such, here's a link to it: docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@7.1/manual/configuring-universalrp-for-use.html

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

What do you mean by "mysterious editable" ? Is your asset not editable?

[@Zen56103]

@@CodeMonkeyUnity The UniversalRenderPipeline does not exist on the regular install of Unity. At least not in the version I'm using (2020.3.23f), which is a more recent version than you're using in your video. My guess is that you downloaded it at some point, and now it's on your system. I also couldn't follow Patrick's instructions about getting Universal Render Pipeline because the instructions seem to be wrong. I decided to update to the latest version of Unity to see if that fixes anything. EDIT: Well, that didn't fix anything. Looks like "Universal Render Pipeline" was an option when starting a brand-new project, so maybe I needed to do that when I originally started my current project. EDIT #2: You have to download "Universal RP" from the Asset Store / Package Manager.

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

​@@Zen56103 It's on the Package Manager, you don't need to create a new project from scratch. Just go to the Package Manager and install the Universal RP, then create the Render Pipeline Asset and assign it in the Project Settings Although if you are a beginner then creating a new project with the URP template might be easier since it will all be set up by default

[@noamharel2559]

For anyone who has already created 3D project like me, this is how you change it to enable the glow, took me hours to figure out so I hope it saves someone's time: 0. Install URP package from the package manager 1. Create URP assest: - In the Editor, go to the Project window. - Right-click in the Project window, and select Create > Rendering > Universal Render Pipeline > Pipeline Asset. Alternatively, navigate to the menu bar in top, and click Assets > Create > Rendering > Universal Render Pipeline > Pipeline Asset. 2. Assign the URP assets in Edit -> Project Settings -> Graphics 3. Changle all materials to URP by Edit - > Render Pipeline -> Universal Render Pipeline -> Upgarde all materials 4. When you've created the URP assets a renderer has been created as well, in its inspector settings under Post-Processing check the Enabled. 5. Make sure the materials are URP materials and follow the tutorial(set emission, set up post-processing, enable HDR on the renderer pipeline asset and enable post-processing on camera)

Thank you for this! woulda saved me much time hehe.. do you know the cost on the performance on mobile games? for now if i turn the whole post processing parameters so i can have glow on my game the fps drops for 40~ to 20~ is there anyway to make it more efficient? or should i just drop the idea of glow in a mobile game?

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

Bloom does have to render the scene multiple times so it does have a relatively significant cost. On the Bloom effect you can make sure to disable High Quality Filtering and play around with the Skip Iterations setting. You can also just dynamically disable it if the game is running at a low framerate. That way players on high end phones get nice visuals and players on low end get a good framerate.

[@seggamulti1219]

Bro this stuff is making the whole scene glow....I thought it was only going to be the bullet

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

It depends on what settings you use. If you lower the Threshold under 1 then any white object will glow, if you put it above 1 then only objects with HDR intensity above 1 will glow.

[@seggamulti1219]

@@CodeMonkeyUnity I used the 3rd starter assets and everything is glowing....the threshold is under 1 by the way I think all objects in the starter assets come with HDR ticked Damn Does that mean I have to manually uncheck them?

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

What kind of post processing? On the Renderer asset you can add a Renderer Feature for Render Objects which lets you apply different settings to different layers If you're asking how to make Bloom apply to everything except a single sprite, I don't think that's possible by default since Bloom applies after the whole scene is rendered.

[@russellthorburn9297]

"You can't have a black glow." :-) That brings up an interesting question however. Is there a way to make a subtractive "Bloom" type effect. Rather than adding a certain colour of light it would subtract it in varying amounts depending on the distance from the source object (i.e. the reverse of bloom).

[@nonEuclideanExplosive]

probably not, but if it was real then it would have it to make a sort of blur on edges but inward

[@cargorunnerUK]

I am using the HDRP template so none of the properties match and I can't get this to work at all

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

Yes this is with URP but everything is pretty much the same in HDRP, you still need to enable HDR and add Bloom post processing, ignore the extra options

[@cargorunnerUK]

@@CodeMonkeyUnity It's pretty weird you have to enter the number of nits for emmision. And I have to have the number so high I think it would make HDR TVs explode. The emmision is not a light source as it doesn't add colour to neighbouring objects. So it actually looks very unatural and jarring. You just have a lot of stuff going on in HDRP with yur main light and auto camera exposure. So changes to the lighting details can have little or no effect as the camera auto changes the exposure to get you back to the exact same result. Hard to know if my main light is too bright for the glow effects to look good or something like that. You have different physics units in different places and I can't find a good HDRP lighting tutorial. My main character is always too dark for example. I move the camera around and change the light settings and the main character always looks a little too dark & badly lit

You can add bloom but keep the Threshold at 1. That way objects with intensity of 1 which is the default will not glow at all, then just put the moon above 1.

Easiest way is make one Volume with a Post Processing profile that has high glow, and another Volume that has a different post processing with a different profile. Then enable/disable the volumes, or the GameObjects themselves The more complex way would be modify the intensity itself through code kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2WZZ6ZvjKhkY6c

​@@CodeMonkeyUnity ..Hi CodeMonkey I know you are extremely busy, so I always support you however you can, you are amazing. I will buy Dinky guardians today!!! ..just as a follow up.. what do you think of this method to toggle the glow?: //method to turn on/off headlight by turning on/off emission public void TurnOnOffHeadlight(bool headLightStatus) { if (!headLightStatus) { headlightMaterial.DisableKeyword("_EMISSION"); isHeadlightOn = false; previousHeadlightOn = isHeadlightOn; } else { headlightMaterial.EnableKeyword("_EMISSION"); isHeadlightOn = true; previousHeadlightOn = isHeadlightOn; } } I guess I should hardcode the string "_EMISSION" but apart from that is it ok??? Much appreciated

Hmm I have the latest Unity version and don't have the URP shader as an option :(
