Simplest Way To Add NEON EFFECT / GLOW in UNITY
In like 2 minutes you can throw a Bloom post processing effect into your game and instantly change the entire aesthetic of your game!
In this Unity Tutorial we will be looking at installing the Post-Processing package and playing around specifically with the Bloom effect which adds a glow or neon effect to our sprites/models.
Feel free to check out all of the other effects they offer, just add more and test some of the values.
Post processing works with 2D and 3D, though in this tutorial I use a 2D scene.

THANK YOU!!!! I've tried another tutorial and I had to watch 2 long videos about really complicated stuff, but your video explained it easily and short! This kind of light is really important for my game, glad I found this video!

Thanks for this. All the other tutorials always involved creating a new material and new object which didn't help me unfortunately but this did!
That was a quite clear and easy tutorial. Thanks. I can see many people over using this effect though. But it will be good for lights and game effects.

Subscribing because the bloom got so intense that it told me to subscribe. Well played
great video this made it so easier to make objects have that neat glow effect. just asking how do you do it with text and buttons? I tried the same method and it didn't seem to work
Should have mentioned emissive textures as well! They're very easy to do.
LOL fantastic closing 👏
Thank you!
If I create an object in Blender that has different materials on certain areas of a single mesh, will I be able to assign an emissive material to parts of the game object, or can I only have one material for the whole game object after I import from Unity?
Amazing! Thank you)

I FIGURED IIT OOUUUT! all you have to do is go to the material and select the shader icon on the top of its menu, then go down the list to legacy shader, then there is a bunch of different effects! im sending this message to everyone who asked this question, i hope this helps!
I can't see how once you've set everything up you then actually apply the bloom glow to an object in your project? I see the square in the hierarchy but how is that set to glow?
Is it possible to do this to a Super Nintendo emulator, or any kind of emulators? Because I have seen a walkthrough of the classic games, where the user has been adding glowing lightning effect which is not present in the original game.
Yo this was an awesome tutorial! Exactly what I was looking for, however, is there anyway to apply it to just one object? I tried adding the PP layer to my object but it didnt do anything

hi, the objects are glowing in the scene but not in the ingame. How do I fix this?
I want to make text and other objects glow with different colors. Do I have to add them within the new empty group separately or attach the pp profile to each one. I am building a VRChat world that requires mood lighting and neon signs.

It is not selective, per object bloom. It affects all objects despite the select layer and stuff, how do you have one object glow?

Thanks for the clear guide. However, when I edit the PP Volume intensity, it affects everything in my scene, be it planes, cubes, spheres or the ground. I even set them to different layer each and they still behave the same... Have you experienced any of that, sir ? If yes, how do you solve it ?

This tutorial is misleading and not the proper way of doing it. First lower the bloom intensity so it doesnt affect everything in your scene Then enable HDR for your project. Now you select the object you want to glow and change the material color intensity to be over 100%. Voila now only certain objects are glowing and not everything.

The PP Profile?💀

EDIT: If you are using URP, the instructions provided absolutely will not work, and you should make note of that in your video and possibly give the correct instructions for URP in this video or another video this one links to. Original Comment: Played around with this following the steps exactly, and it just will not work. So frustrating. Adjusting bloom has no effect. Only difference is I didn't import a sprite and instead created an object and added the square texture. That shouldn't make a difference right? It is identical in the inspector to yours.
@JasonEllingsworth

So instead for anyone else using URP: Do not add the post process package. Delete it if you installed it. Do not create any PPvolume or any of that. Instead create a new empty gameobject and add "volume" component to it. In the profile box of the volume component click "new" and Add Override, then select your effects and modify them and you should see the effects on your game objects. Then you can create additional cameras as children of the original main camera, as overlays. Set the overlay camera as a stack of the main camera in the main camera inspector. Have 2 layers, one for no post processing and one for post processing. Then you can set the culling between the cameras for what each one is rendering, so you can have some objects have pp effects, while others wont.

No te entiendo
This is not making certain objects emit light or glow. It's just a foggy/smearing of the colors of everything..... it doesn't look cool and professional. It's not a neon light or light sabre glow effect. Because all the objects in the scene has the effect on it. This effect only works if you have very few objects on a plain black background. Any other types of scene it doesn't look "neon" or "glow" in any way, it just looks bad.
Just beware, this [post processing] can add a heavy load to mobile games and kill the frame rate on weaker devices.
