Mobile Friendly Glow

Hi! I am working on a small mobile project and i am having difficulties finding a performant way to implement glow on my game.
As a reference, i am trying to reach this kind of glow:

Taking advantage of this thread, I also wanted to ask you how you recommend implementing that motion blur you see on that trailer. I always solve this problems with post processing stack or URP for PC games but using that is not an option for mobile.

Thanks for reading!

 

post processing stack is not good for mobiles
So you should use asset store glow effects for mobiles

 

Great! Do you have any recommended one? It would be great if it is free.
Thanks!

 

Try these effects:

I only tested Kinoo bloom already. It's the main source of the unity's post processing stack bloom effect that works on low-end mobiles too

 

Thanks for sharing this I found Fast Bloom Easy to implement and I'm using it in Vuforia AR APK and it's working perfectly fine.

 

I’ve tried installing it but can’t seem to get it working, what did you do?

 

In the new devices since 2019 the new bloom effect works well (default bloom) without performance drop even in HDR mode

 

I’m confused. That’s the one using and on my mobile game I get below 20fps. The performance drops horribly even at when it might get to 30 the frames are all choppy due to it.

 

The only solution to have very good fps on mobile devices is limiting the screen resolution to the 720P or 1080P

Without bloom I get constant 60 on an old s10 but with bloom I get 20. I’m looking for a way to get some sort of glow. Even at 30 fps

 

Try my apk and turn on off the bloom effect to see the performance cost:
I have used HDR bloom in the urp in this demo apk

Download Android apk

 

Turned everything on and got 60

 

I'm getting 60FPS with bloom with your app mainly due to the fact that nothing else is happening in the scene. Im using the same set up for bloom in my game but thats when the frame drops

 

I think the only solution is reducing the screen resolution because the post effects run on the screen pixels

 

You can have your main frame buffer at full res and then make a few much smaller ones for bloom then compose at the end.

The best approach to bloom I've seen is this https://github.com/KumoKairo/Sleek-Render but I don't know how easily it can be used these days.

 

Is that just in the settings of project setting tab?

 

Download the below APK and choose the screens resolution:

Medium = Screen Resolution x 0.5
High = Screen Resolution x 0.7
Native = Screen Resolution x 1

Also you can turn On or Off the bloom effect by touching the center of the screen

Download Android APK

 

I tried it and get constant 30 on all three settings, could you share your bloom or setting for how you got it to work?

To be more specific my bloom is adding glow to individual objects, and when ever I enable bloom it just tanks my frame rate.

 

My project is a URP project with the maximum settings (HDR bloom, HDR color grading, vignette)
The lighting s fully baked
