💬 "How do I make Unity objects Glow? Why is my scene now glowing? Unity Bloom is not working!"
I see these questions a lot so I figured I'd make a dedicated video I can refer back to whenever I see them again.
Adding glow is quite simple but requires a bunch of steps, if any of these are not followed then it won't glow.
You need:
- Shader with Emission (intensity above 0)
- Post Processing Bloom
- Render Pipeline Asset, Enable HDR
- Camera, Enable Post Processing
Make sure you do all that and your scene/objects will glow!

Can we have emissions without UniversalRenderPipeline? You don't show us how to use it with the C# scripts to activate and make changes into the game script area?
@@catafest Yes each render pipeline is slightly different. For HDRP it's pretty similar but for the built-in you need the post processing stack v2

code monkey but how to make UI glow?
Since Brackey gone you become my best helper, awesome videos!
Yes I missed brackeys also
Wow the checklist at the beginning is amazing. I wish more content creators would do such!
Thanks Code Monkey!!!!!!!!!!!
After fifteen minutes of trying to figure out what I did wrong I still couldn't get my bloom to work even though I've done probably 10 times before.
So I pulled up your video and checked each of the details you mention and found two problems in two minutes and now it's working!
Woohoo!!!!
Nice! I'm glad the video helped you!
For anyone who has already created 3D project like me, this is how you change it to enable the glow, took me hours to figure out so I hope it saves someone's time:
0. Install URP package from the package manager
1. Create URP assest:
- In the Editor, go to the Project window.
- Right-click in the Project window, and select Create > Rendering > Universal Render Pipeline > Pipeline Asset. Alternatively, navigate to the menu bar in top, and click Assets > Create > Rendering > Universal Render Pipeline > Pipeline Asset.
2. Assign the URP assets in Edit -> Project Settings -> Graphics
3. Changle all materials to URP by Edit - > Render Pipeline -> Universal Render Pipeline -> Upgarde all materials
4. When you've created the URP assets a renderer has been created as well, in its inspector settings under Post-Processing check the Enabled.
5. Make sure the materials are URP materials and follow the tutorial(set emission, set up post-processing, enable HDR on the renderer pipeline asset and enable post-processing on camera)
how about shaders ?
mine are still pink do u know how ?
@@goncalomarques3268 The shaders of the materials should be like in the video
sorry to bother but im still unsure about the shaders. Because I have a custom one made by code and not really sure how to make normal again instead of pink. I tried doing the same thing I did for the materials but it still pink. Thnaks in advance
@@goncalomarques3268 idk bro im sorry. i wish i could help I know that its really a pain in the ass
Pink means shader error, if you have a handwritten shader that was not made for URP then you need to go into the code and convert the code yourself. The automated tool only works on the default shaders
Thank you so much. This is the best Bloom tutorial I've seen yet. Can you do a deeper dive into Render Pipelines - what they are, why we need them, what the differences are between them, etc.?
I covered them in detail in my ultimate unity overview course
And for HDRP specifically I made an overview video a long time ago th-cam.com/video/YAVL6grnsiM/w-d-xo.html
nice thx, had to go through a bunch of wierd shit to make this work previously, nice to get a condensed and direct tutorial no bullshit.
For anyone getting stuck at 1:48 where he accesses a mysterious, editable Universal Render Pipeline Asset to enable HDR & such, here's a link to it:
docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@7.1/manual/configuring-universalrp-for-use.html
What do you mean by "mysterious editable" ? Is your asset not editable?
@@CodeMonkeyUnity The UniversalRenderPipeline does not exist on the regular install of Unity. At least not in the version I'm using (2020.3.23f), which is a more recent version than you're using in your video. My guess is that you downloaded it at some point, and now it's on your system. I also couldn't follow Patrick's instructions about getting Universal Render Pipeline because the instructions seem to be wrong. I decided to update to the latest version of Unity to see if that fixes anything. EDIT: Well, that didn't fix anything. Looks like "Universal Render Pipeline" was an option when starting a brand-new project, so maybe I needed to do that when I originally started my current project. EDIT #2: You have to download "Universal RP" from the Asset Store / Package Manager.
@@Zen56103 It's on the Package Manager, you don't need to create a new project from scratch. Just go to the Package Manager and install the Universal RP, then create the Render Pipeline Asset and assign it in the Project Settings
Although if you are a beginner then creating a new project with the URP template might be easier since it will all be set up by default
Thanks this helped allot. Unfort everything is Pink?
+1 to this comment, I gave the video a downvote for this reason
Very quick, to the point, and clearly explained! Before watching this, I'd only seen 2D sprite examples and thought the emission map asset was required...
Loved the tutorial! Could you do a foostep system using the new starter pack? You would help a lot hahaah
Yea! My third person controller would be epic with it!
Leaving behind visual footsteps? That could be an interesting video, thanks!
@@CodeMonkeyUnity I was talking about footsteps sounds 😅 But what you said, would be a good video too 👊
@@NationStudios combined wud be best
@@kingbling7571 Yeah! Both things would be awesome 👊
Finally, I have watched countless tutorials and only THIS ONE solves my problem!
I'm glad the video helped!
I abandoned unity programming couple months ago in order to learn more about mobile programming, but your videos make me wanna come back :D
(and also I'm collecting money for a better laptop so I could work with Unreal Engine)
Thank you watching and learning from India.
An absolutely amazing effect. Thank you!
always present
Thank you bro. You helped me a lot in figuring out how post processing works.
You make it seem so simple and easy. The checklist is a huge plus. And by the way, I used your Humble Bundle link to purchase their packages (some really nice assets in this bundle)...thanks for sharing.
Thanks! I hope you put those assets to good use!
You are so kind you make such a helpful video.Can you make a snowy area where you walk and leave footsteps and walk slow also
Helpful tutorial. Expecting more tuts on shader graph and post processing
Great content as always :D
Thanks a lot!!
Fantastic video as always! Your TH-cam tutorials and Udemy course have helped me so much, wouldn’t have chosen to study game design if it wasn’t for you🙏
I'm glad to hear that! Best of luck in your studies!
@@CodeMonkeyUnity appreciate it man👍
Great tutorial thank you! Unfortunatley I still cannot recreate the glow effect for XR platform despite I really followed every step along the way, have you encountered or know how to trouble shoot this?
Hmm I don-t think XR platforms have issues with Bloom, it-s a pretty standard effect. Maybe you're using a different camera for Desktop and VR? Check the logs to see if it's not supported somehow, or use the Rendering Debugger
This is actually what i m looking for, i messed up with this everytime. Thanks
What's the best way to enable/disable the glow? by toggling the Postprocessing object? Thanks for your hard work, I bought a couple of your courses to support you!
Thank you for the concise lesson.
Blazingly good tutorial! :D
My whole scene glows ... and I just want the object to glow help please
Excellent, straightforward tutorial. Thanks for this.
Very good tutorial! Straight to the point but plenty of helpfull info in the video and in the comment section.
This is exactly what I was looking for thanks! Following the 3D Shooter tutorial and wanted to make my game object glow like in the video :D
I'm glad you found the video helpful! Thanks!
Thx i needed this
Wow Unity is soooo straight forward.....
So if like me it doesn't glow after all the step:
-go to the Render pipeline Asset at the top in general there is the renderer list
- click on the one you want (in the list) to locate it
- in the inspector you should see a section post process -> you can enable it
not sure if clear but it solved it for me !
awesome tutorial 🔥
Hi I was wondering what that skybox is that you are using in the tutorial
It's this one Polyverse Skies assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/shaders/polyverse-skies-low-poly-skybox-shaders-104017?aid=1101l96nj
I've used them in a bunch of videos, they look great!
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Thanks!
"You can't have a black glow." :-)
That brings up an interesting question however. Is there a way to make a subtractive "Bloom" type effect. Rather than adding a certain colour of light it would subtract it in varying amounts depending on the distance from the source object (i.e. the reverse of bloom).
probably not, but if it was real then it would have it to make a sort of blur on edges but inward
quick and very useful, saved me a lot of time, thanks !
can you make a tutorial on how to properly use lights in unity? i'm try'ing to make a horror game and i'm having a lot of trouble with lights, i guess i'm using mixed lights (real time with baked ones) and every thing looks messy :)
Thank you so much! I've been stuck with this for so long and you helped me out! +1 subscription!
I'm glad the video helped! Thanks!
Great video as always! I was wondering where you got that skybox or if you made it yourself because it looks really cool
It's from this pack assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/shaders/polyverse-skies-low-poly-skybox-shaders-104017?aid=1101l96nj&pubref=unityglow
Looks really great, I really like them, very nice colors.
@@CodeMonkeyUnity perfect thank you very much
Your a gem of information. Thankyou so much
thanks a lot for the tutorial can't wait for another lesson keep it up:)
1:18 you add a Component "Volume" this does not exist for me . Do i need to download a Script named "Volume"?
Started a new project with URP Sample scene and i could find it. Is it possible to add URP to a 3D project that is already created?
Open the package manager and install the Universal RP
Can you make a video about a cartoon shader like how to make your game have a cartoon outline like every object has like outlines its really hard to find a tutorial about this
I made a Sprite Outline here th-cam.com/video/FvQFhkS90nI/w-d-xo.html
For 3D it requires a different method
@@CodeMonkeyUnity thanks but yea im looking for a 3d one but thanks for sharing
If you naked a black hole, how you make it ? I know that animation for the spinning, but the darkest glow effect could be deep purple , or deep blue ? Even a deeper red .. of course that the arounds of the hole 🕳️ should be light distorted by that gravitational force
Here's a tutorial I found using Unity's VFX & Shader Graphs: th-cam.com/video/FlE8e1JwVzs/w-d-xo.html
You'd possibly use the Fresnel effect to only add glow to the outer part while keeping the center black.
Adding some realistic light distortion would be quite a bit more complex
@@CodeMonkeyUnity I only uses my imagination on a white circle on the out bonder one spiral..
@@Hietakissa thank so much bro!
Looks like it would make an epic lightsaber
Great tutorial! Do you know if there's a way to apply post-processing to only certain 2d sprites in a 3d world? I'm trying to replicate lit 2d objects in parallax games like Hollow Knight and was wondering if you may have any leads to that.
What kind of post processing?
On the Renderer asset you can add a Renderer Feature for Render Objects which lets you apply different settings to different layers
If you're asking how to make Bloom apply to everything except a single sprite, I don't think that's possible by default since Bloom applies after the whole scene is rendered.
Thank you for this! woulda saved me much time hehe..
do you know the cost on the performance on mobile games?
for now if i turn the whole post processing parameters so i can have glow on my game the fps drops for 40~ to 20~
is there anyway to make it more efficient?
or should i just drop the idea of glow in a mobile game?
Bloom does have to render the scene multiple times so it does have a relatively significant cost.
On the Bloom effect you can make sure to disable High Quality Filtering and play around with the Skip Iterations setting.
You can also just dynamically disable it if the game is running at a low framerate. That way players on high end phones get nice visuals and players on low end get a good framerate.
hey, I have a problem where I change the emissive HDR color and it simply won't change the color of the object like you do in 0:50, any idea of why could that be?
Hello code monkey can you make a tutorial of Top down movement using bolt and what is the difference between UI and AI
Bro this stuff is making the whole scene glow....I thought it was only going to be the bullet
It depends on what settings you use. If you lower the Threshold under 1 then any white object will glow, if you put it above 1 then only objects with HDR intensity above 1 will glow.
@@CodeMonkeyUnity I used the 3rd starter assets and everything is glowing....the threshold is under 1 by the way
I think all objects in the starter assets come with HDR ticked
Damn
Does that mean I have to manually uncheck them?
If you set the Bloom threshold under 1 then yes everything is supposed to glow. Set it above 1 if you don't want that
thanks
Gr8 vid! Thanks bro!
Fantastic video
I almost signed a contract with the CIA, but this looks much easier.
I've done everything but still can't see the glow on my material. Is there a common issue that people have been having with this?
Never mind, I found the fix. I just needed to turn on GPU instancing in the material
Awesome!
is there a way to make an object glow without using post processing ?
For a sprite object you could add the glow directly on the texture itself
I loved the tutorial 🔥 .Can you make map selector like fall guys randomly. It would be helpful for all of us.
am i missing something? i dont seem to have urp or hdrp
Great!
Hello! You've made a lovely video! I have a question, though. I'm working on a group assignment and we chose Unity 3D instead of Universal Render Pipeline for our project. Is there some way for me to be able to get emission in certain areas of a 3D object and not the whole? Or is that simply only possible in URP? Thanks for your time!
You can use a emission texture th-cam.com/video/auglNRLM944/w-d-xo.html
Still not working :\ don't know why. I followed all your steps. I just don't see any bloom. I'm in Unity 2020.3.26f1
I got it!! There are two different "Volume" components for post processing. Do NOT use "Post-process Volume". Use "Volume".
Thanks for sharing. I also used Post-process Volume at first and wondered why it doesnt work.
Good afternoon sir
When i am clicking on new in unity it is showing a sample fps project but i need a plain and new FPS project please help
Thank
How can I work this out on UI components?
Thanks.
I plan on putting my game on unity's game website to send to friends and post-processing doesn't show on the WebGL build so I can't do things like this it's annoying.
Are you using URP? Are you using WebGL 2? It should work
@@CodeMonkeyUnity yeah I'll double check, thanks
Which packages need to be included there? I can't add anything to Volume component
Just the Universal RP
Sir, you can also make a tutorial for bullet penetration in 3D
Hello Code Monkey, I followed the tutorial to the letter(I hope), and yet my emissive wont glow. Im building in WEBGL if that change anything... but still in the editor or on play its not glowing. Ive been searching for a solution for a long time now and I can't find what I did wrong. Halp :(
If you follow every step it really has to work, do you see any other post processing effects? Add some really intense Vignette to verify
i cant find the volume in my unity am using the latest version ....pls help
Do you have the Universal RP or the High Definition RP package installed?
thanks
Awesome but can you create the glowing effect with the shader only without any post processing effect? It will be awesome to see such a thing🔥🔥
In order to glow you need Bloom. If you absolutely cannot use post processing then you could bake the glow directly into a texture
@@CodeMonkeyUnity I wonder if is it possible with Bloom, but without HDR?
@@GugaHertz Without HDR every color has an intensity of 1, so without it all you can do is make everything glow the exact same amount
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Got it. Thanks for your (incredibly quick) answer :D
Tutorial idea: How to find Volume or Bloom in the Component list. My problem isnt solved
Make sure you're using URP or HDRP
me find this for ages
How would I make the glow intensity increase as I get closer to the object?
Modify the color intensity through code, edit the shader color and add to it
How do I find the volume component? I keep searching bit I can't see it
Make sure you're using Universal RP or HDRP (install the packages or create a project from those templates)
If you're intentionally using the old BiRP it has different post processing th-cam.com/video/vmwdKK-GZDc/w-d-xo.html
Hey Code Monkey, i got a bad pc and i wanted glow effect in unity i was using unity 5x 32 bit itwould be great if you can make a tutorial on that :).
My 2d sprites and UI sprites also glow after applying bloom effect. How can i prevent 2d sprites and UI sprites from glowing?
You can put the threshold above 1 so that the only things that glow are things with a color intensity above 1
Alternatively render the UI with a different camera and disable post processing on that one
Can i make a game in my samsung phone.?
Make it with your phone? No. Play it with your phone? Yes.
I followed it step by step but in the end the material I created makes my object invisible.. any idea why?
Maybe you made it transparent?
@@CodeMonkeyUnity no, I made it for a 2D object, because I'm making a 2D game. When I added a cube and put the same material on it, somehow it worked.
mine just turns a magenta color and doesnt work
Make sure you use the correct shader for the render pipeline that you're using, if you're using URP use the Converter tool docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@12.0/manual/features/rp-converter.html
@@CodeMonkeyUnity nothing works. instead it just breaks my entire project and i have to start all over cuz it cant be recovered. its easier just not to mess with it. thanks anyway
i think u need to make it a urp project from the start
make the unity glow again!
How would I just make the moon glow, without applying the bloom to everything else? I tried setting the Mode to Local and using the sphere collider but the bloom still seems to effect every light source
You can add bloom but keep the Threshold at 1. That way objects with intensity of 1 which is the default will not glow at all, then just put the moon above 1.
Setting it to local means the Volume is applied when the camera is inside that volume, it does not mean "only apply these effects to objects inside this collider"
Slowing down the pacing of your videos maybe 10% would help so much. You like so many others that know the subject inside and out, rush through so fast, it becomes very hard to follow.
Take your time, everyone learns at a different speed so don't worry about others. Pause as much as you need and just focus on learning.
Set the playback speed to 0.75 and pause when you need to. I like his pace.
when I did the step for graphic settings, it said "None" and then (Render Pipeline Asset) in parenthesis, and there is no asset icon in the project window where it appears in the tutorial.
Did you install the Universal RP package? Did you create a render pipeline asset?
@@CodeMonkeyUnity I didn't see the step to create the asset in the tutorial. I found it in another tutorial and got the bloom working finally.
I am using the HDRP template so none of the properties match and I can't get this to work at all
Yes this is with URP but everything is pretty much the same in HDRP, you still need to enable HDR and add Bloom post processing, ignore the extra options
@@CodeMonkeyUnity It's pretty weird you have to enter the number of nits for emmision. And I have to have the number so high I think it would make HDR TVs explode. The emmision is not a light source as it doesn't add colour to neighbouring objects. So it actually looks very unatural and jarring. You just have a lot of stuff going on in HDRP with yur main light and auto camera exposure. So changes to the lighting details can have little or no effect as the camera auto changes the exposure to get you back to the exact same result. Hard to know if my main light is too bright for the glow effects to look good or something like that. You have different physics units in different places and I can't find a good HDRP lighting tutorial. My main character is always too dark for example. I move the camera around and change the light settings and the main character always looks a little too dark & badly lit
How come when I add the Universal Render Pipeline/Lit shader to my object it turns bright purple even though I have the colors set to yellow?
Purple or Pink? If it's pink that sounds like a shader error, did you assign the URP render pipeline asset?
Very good
Great tutorial if only i could find the volume and bloom components,not sure where to look for them in unity.
Do you have URP installed and set up? Install the Universal RP package, create a Render Pipeline Asset and assign it in Project Settings > Graphics
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Thanks man I forgot I started my project with the 3D template instead of URP
There's no component in my Unity named Volume for some reason
You probably don't have the Universal RP installed, you're probably using the old built-in render pipeline th-cam.com/video/vmwdKK-GZDc/w-d-xo.html
how do you make UI elements like a sprite in an Image component glow?
I believe you just need to use a shader that supports an HDR color
@Code Monkey ......or anybody else..., What is the easiest way to toggle the glow programmatically? I Have a some headlights that I toggle on and off with a brake ( so it changes from standard red to glowing red..). I can do it by toggling the materials Emission.. but wanted to know if this was the best way to do this??
Easiest way is make one Volume with a Post Processing profile that has high glow, and another Volume that has a different post processing with a different profile. Then enable/disable the volumes, or the GameObjects themselves
The more complex way would be modify the intensity itself through code th-cam.com/video/9466s9WC1-E/w-d-xo.html
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Thanks for your reply....I'll look into what you mentioned. Like I said I can do what I want but it didn't feel correct... I'm also going through your Turn Based Strategy course as I speak..👍🍻
@@CodeMonkeyUnity ..Hi CodeMonkey I know you are extremely busy, so I always support you however you can, you are amazing. I will buy Dinky guardians today!!!
..just as a follow up.. what do you think of this method to toggle the glow?:
//method to turn on/off headlight by turning on/off emission
public void TurnOnOffHeadlight(bool headLightStatus) {
if (!headLightStatus) {
headlightMaterial.DisableKeyword("_EMISSION");
isHeadlightOn = false;
previousHeadlightOn = isHeadlightOn;
}
else {
headlightMaterial.EnableKeyword("_EMISSION");
isHeadlightOn = true;
previousHeadlightOn = isHeadlightOn;
}
}
I guess I should hardcode the string "_EMISSION" but apart from that is it ok???
Much appreciated
I dont see Volume component. only Light Probe Volume...?
Make sure you're using URP or HDRP

where do you get the render pipeline
Install it from the package manager, either Universal RP or High definition RP
Or when creating a new project select the template that already has the render pipeline
1:18 where did you get that component?
The Volume component? Make sure you're using the Universal Render Pipeline
The " Volume " component no longer exists. @1:20
It exists in the render pipelines, so make sure you're using URP or HDRP
Hmm I have the latest Unity version and don't have the URP shader as an option :(

hey i have a problem with this. every time i add the bloom into an object i placed in a partially built world, all my materials turn into the color i have on the bloomed object. does anyone know how to fix this?
In Scene view or Game View? There was a bug in some Unity version that messed up Scene view but did not impact game view.
How intense is that bloom?
