TextMesh Pro Easiest way to integrate HDR color support for TMP?

Hi, I'd like to add support for the HDR colors so that Text Mesh Pro texts (both UI & world space) could be affected by the bloom effect. (Using HDRP)

Wondering, what would be the easiest way to do so?
Duplicate shader + add custom shader gui?

Vertex colors are clamped, right? So modifying editor is useless and the best bet is altering _FaceColor?

 

Adding HDR to the _FaceColor shader property + cloning inspector + adding HDR to the color field did the trick for me.
Not really update-friendly way, but hey, it works.

If there's other easier way to do that, please let me know. Thanks.

 

What is the shader called that I should change to in order to get HDR/emissive glow?

I'm trying to get my text to glow:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class TMP_Glow : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     [ColorUsageAttribute(true, true)]
4.     public Color textColor;
5.     private void Update()
6.     {
7.         TextMeshProUGUI textMeshPro = GetComponent<TextMeshProUGUI>();
8.         textMeshPro.faceColor = textColor;
9.     }
10. }

I have bloom in my URP post processing stack, but it doesn't glow. I think I need to edit a shader? Why is this so hard? lol

 

So which of these shaders do I use? Nothing seems to have HDR support in the inspector. Is there any documentation anywhere explaining what any of these shaders do?

Thank you sir. Working great now -- Had to update TMP in Package Manager, then Reimport the assets, delete my previous atlas material, remake, reassign, and then change to HDR. Works beautifully. Thanks!

 

I see. Maybe I was just doing something stupid -- but my text went completely black and would not change color if I tried -- until I deleted and remade the material. Nevertheless, its working exactly as I want it now, so thank you! I very much appreciate your help on this, I have been trying to get glowing text for ages!

 

@Stephan_B I was setting a face and outline color for my texts and I discovered the colores in the scene were looking different from what i wanted. Then i realized these properties are using HDR color by default and you can't even change it. Why is this? I don't understand the need for this. Most people use normal colors, there should be at least an option to change it from HDR.

For those with the same problem, we managed to change the HDR color:
We had to edit the class TMP_BaseShaderGUI and change the last boolean in this line from true to false:

Code (CSharp):

1.  Color value = EditorGUI.ColorField(EditorGUILayout.GetControlRect(), s_TempLabel, property.colorValue, false, true, true);
