📦THE PACKAGE📦

⚡Main Features⚡

Bloom: Creates fringes of light extending from the borders of bright areas in an image.

Lens surface: Apply a dirt and a diffraction texture, which fades in into the glow.

Anamorphic: Morph the glow to create an anamorphic flair.

Resolution scaling: Same outcome independent from the screen size and resolution.

Additional shaders: Basic Sprite & UI shaders with emission are included.

Emissive Sprite Shaders for the URP 2D Renderer: Emissive Sprite Shaders that can be used with the URP 2D Renderer are included.

✨Setup for every possible post processing API✨

- Built-in: Legacy Image Effects Pipeline (Component on Rendering Camera)

- Built-in: Post Processing Stack

- Universal 2D & 3D: Integrated Post Processing API via Scriptable Renderer Feature

- Universal 2D & 3D: Scriptable Renderer Feature Only (skip the Post Processing API entirely)

⚙️Included Tools⚙️

Install wizard: Fast setup even on scriptable Render Pipelines.

Builtin textures: Start easy by using the included textures for different features.
