BLoom like effect

hey was trying to find a way to use the nodes to create a bloom like effect. I love da bloom effect in games gives them a softere appearence:o

anywyas here is ma test:

with rgb curve editor only

with other nodes, (rgb curve)+alpha over+(vector blur i think it was) hope that makes sense

Its actually not too tough an effect to make. You use RGB curves to turn up teh colors, but keep the dark, blur it at a value of 5, , mix it(with the add mix filter) with the original render.

viola’

OR use glow in the sequencer.

? Isnt that the sequencer? Thats true, thouhg you dont have as much controol over the outcome(colors, etc)

as far as crits go, the first one is perhaps too hard, though still nice, the second one i really like, it gives that great artistic soft effect, something i’ve been looking for internally in some of my renders…i really need to just get over myself and learn these damn nodes now

keep up the good work
