The Blooming menu is divided into two tabs, each with its own type of blooming effect, which can work independantly, or in
combination with each other.
Blooming Tab
- Red Colour field
-
Displays the amount of red in the effect and in any attached components (based on the colour of the attached light).
- Green Colour field
-
Displays the amount of green in the effect and in any attached components (based on the colour of the attached light).
- Blue Colour field
-
Displays the amount of blue in the effect and in any attached components (based on the colour of the attached light).
- Colour pot
-
Displays the colour of the effect and any attached components (based on the colour of the attached light). Click to change
the colour.
NoteThe same colour settings are also found in the Stamping tab.
- Intensity field
-
Displays the intensity of the effect (multiplied by the intensity of the attached light).
- Threshold field
-
Displays the minimum luminance value at which blooming occurs.
- Softness X field
-
Displays the amount of softness along the X axis of the blooming effect.
- Softness Y field
-
Displays the amount of softness along the Y axis of the blooming effect.
Stamping Tab
For stamping settings to have any effect, you need to attach one or more texture components to the blooming node. In this
case, stamping settings are global for all attached components, and each component texture has its own menu that is specific
to the texture.
- Red Colour field
-
Displays the amount of red in the effect and in any attached components (based on the colour of the attached light).
- Green Colour field
-
Displays the amount of green in the effect and in any attached components (based on the colour of the attached light).
- Blue Colour field
-
Displays the amount of blue in the effect and in any attached components (based on the colour of the attached light).
- Colour pot
-
Displays the colour of the effect and any attached components (based on the colour of the attached light). Click to change
the colour.
NoteThe same colour settings are also found in the Blooming tab.
- Stamping Intensity field
-
Displays the global stamping intensity of all attached texture components.
- Stamping Threshold field
-
Displays the minimun value at which stamping occurs for all attached texture components.
- Stamping Softness X field
-
Displays the softness along the X axis for all attached texture components.
- Stamping Softness Y field
-
Displays the softness along the Y axis for all attached texture components.
- Stamping Attenuation field
-
Displays the smoothing level of the blooming effect. Use to fade out regions that have too much blooming.
- Texture Mimimum Size field
-
Displays the minimum size of all attached texture components.
- Texture Scale field
-
Displays the size of all attached texture components.
- Texture Rotation field
-
Displays the level of rotation of all attached texture components.
- Texture Ratio field
-
Displays the aspect ratio of all attached texture components.
- Sampling X field
-
Displays the size of the grid along the X axis to affect the number of samples taken to calculate the stamping effect. A higher
value yields faster results, but may be less precise.
- Sampling Y field
-
Displays the size of the grid along the Y axis to affect the number of samples taken to calculate the stamping effect. A higher
value yields faster results, but may be less precise.
