Anyone using mobile bloom?

Unity Engine

I’ve been wanting to get some bloom into my iOS/Android game.

The first thing I tried is the post processor effect which is having mixed results. It looks way too “bloomy” on iPhone compared to the PC and when testing on a Galaxy S2 it just locked the screen up until I disabled it again. This isn’t the most performance friendly option anyway.

I also tried using some of the bloom from the Angry Bots project, but I’m unsure of what scripts or shaders I need to copy over for it to work. I tried taking the two FX folders from the scripts and shaders folders but I’m getting errors about missing components.

How can I get some bloom into my project? It does wonders for the visuals.

Check out this thread. There’s a package linked in there that works pretty well.

Outstanding!

The effect doesn’t seem as prominent on the iPhone as it is on the PC preview, so you have to pump it up a bit; but it works really well and doesn’t seem to make a drastic impact on performance. This should be included with Unity.

Will have to try it on Android a bit later.

Thanks!

EDIT: Also works on Galaxy S 2. It is actually pretty punishing to performance now that I’ve put it through its paces.
