WHO AM I?
Hi there! 👋 I'm Mike, and I'm relatively new to YouTube. I've been teaching Blender professionally for over 10 years, and I'm excited to share my knowledge with the community here. On this channel, you'll find full guides, courses, and tools to help guide, reassure, and educate you on your Blender journey. Let's create something amazing together!
In Blender 4.2, the method for enabling bloom effects has changed significantly. Previously, activating bloom in Eevee was a simple checkbox, while Cycles required a different approach. Now, both techniques have been unified, but it’s not as straightforward as before. I start by demonstrating how to set up an emissive material and adjust its strength. Then, I walk through the new process of enabling bloom, which involves using the compositor. This includes turning on viewport shading, enabling the compositor setting, and using nodes to add the glare filter set to bloom. I also provide tips for adjusting the brightness to achieve the desired look. Lastly, I mention an add-on I've created to simplify this process, with links provided in the video description. Have you found the new bloom setup in Blender 4.2 more challenging or exciting to use?
