I'm looking for a bloom plugin that supports NVIDIA VRWorks. It looks like amplify bloom does not currently support it, if you want to add support for VRWorks here is the user guide. https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-vrworks-and-unity-user-guide
Otherwise I will keep looking for another plugin.

 

Just noticed a bigger problem with the plugin. I am not getting any bloom effect in unity 2017.2 when single pass stereo is enabled. When I turn on the bloom debug view I can see bloom in the editor, but as soon as I press play it all goes black.

 

Hello, thank you for getting in touch!

At this time, we do not officially support NVIDIA VRWorks, we'll add support at a later time if possible, apologies for the inconvenience.

Thank you for reporting this issue, we're going to investigate it and report back as soon as possible.

 

I have the same problem with single pass stereo in VR in 2017.2, no bloom is shown.

 

Hello! Thank you for reporting this issue, we're still investigating the possible causes for this problem, we'll report back as soon as we have any further developments.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused!

is there a way to view the bloom in editor mode?

 

Hey there, thank you for getting in touch! You may use the Debug drop-down selection in the Amplify Bloom camera component to visually debug each feature individually while in the editor, through the game view, considering that the selected feature is active.

Edit: Just to be sure, did you mean to say "Scene View"? If so, I'm afraid that it's currently not possible, apologies for any inconvenience caused.



Please let us know if you have any further questions.

 

when will it possible?

 

I've got in touch with you via PM regarding this situation, hopefully we can add this feature in a future update, thank you for your feedback!

 

it should be a default feature, esp for ppl who are working in VR, its hard to ping back & fore to fix the lighting i want

Upon further investigation we've confirmed that, due to an Unity related issue, the editor must be updated to 2017.2.1p4 (64-bit) or higher in order for Single-Pass Stereo to function correctly, also make sure that you pick up the latest Amplify Bloom version from our website.

Hi, do you guys have plans to integrate your post processing assets into Unity's Post Processing Stack as custom effects? See:

https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/PostProcessing/wiki/Writing-Custom-Effects

I've purchased almost all of your assets and would love to see them integrated into the new PPS v2 workflow, especially for HDRP. Thanks!

 

Hello, thank you for your support and for taking the time to provide your feedback!

We're definitely going to keep this in mind for future versions, in the meantime, be sure to check the latest update with corrected single-pass stereo support, which has just been released yesterday.

 

Is there a way to mask the sky? I don't want sky get any effects from amplifier bloom.

 

Hello, thank you for getting in touch! Are you using the actual Unity Sky or is it a custom asset?

With Amplify Bloom you are able to exclude both dynamic and static assets, I'm providing you with a sample package for a masking method which you should be able to adapt to your project:

Bloom Mask Sample

By default, it masks both the sky box and the red cube, and it can be inverted through a toggle in the script to mask only the blue cube, while keeping the effect on the red cube and the skybox.

Note that the masking sample relies on a second camera that renders the objects mask using a very simple unlit color shader, e.g. white on black background (or vice versa), into a Mask Render Texture, the RT is then used to define which objects should have the bloom effect applied. Detailed instructions can be found in the Readme file included in the package Assets folder.

Please let me know if this helps, thanks!

 

Hello,

I've bought Amplify Bloom (and Amplify Motion) some months ago and I'm satisfied with them.

I'm now experiencing an issue with Amplify Bloom for some reasons : the "Invalid Pass Number" error :

Invalid pass number (86) for Graphics.Blit (Material "Hidden/BloomFinal" with 1 passes)
UnityEngine.Graphics:Blit(Texture, RenderTexture, Material, Int32)

It happened when I just checked the Starburst option which I don't use so often (or maybe there's a conflict with some assets I've bought today, but they're not Post Processing related). The Game screen is black when Amplify Motion is on in Editor and it stops all Post Processing effects in-game, with the error repeating in the console.

 

Hello, thank you for your support, we're glad to know you're satisfied with our products!

Regarding the issue you're having, can you confirm that you're using the latest Amplify Bloom version, v1.2.0.001 – 14th May 2018? If not, feel free to download it from our website and import it into your project to see if the issue still presents itself.

If the issue is still present after importing the latest version, can you isolate it on a simple test project and share it for further examination on our side? You may send it over to us through our support@amplify.pt email.

Thanks!

 

So, I reimported the Asset and it works again. Yet it doesn't affect Emissive materials since recently and I don't know why. It worked in the Editor only by checking Allow HDR for a moment, but now I got nothing in Editor or In-Game for Emissive materials.

Edit : Nevermind, I just had to place Amplify Bloom over Post Processing Behavior in the inspector. I'll make sure to remember this detail in the future.

 

Thank you for letting us know that the issue has been sorted out!

Don't hesitate to get back in touch if you come across any further issues.

 

For some reason Amplify Bloom is tanking my game's performance and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

Every few frames I get one with about 20ms of RenderTexture.SetActive.


It could have something to do with an interaction with HXVL, but HXVL was working fine on its own, it definitely started lagging when I turned on Amplify Bloom.

My settings for bloom aren't particularly high, and those are the only image effects currently enabled.


Does anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks!

 

Hey there, thank you for getting in touch!

Could you send us a simple sample with the issue present over to support@amplify.pt, so that we may debug this on our side? Apologies for the inconvenience.

 

Sent an email to you with a zip of my project. It's not quite a simple sample but only one scene of it actually matters, I just didn't want to accidentally leave out something important.

I will see if I can reproduce it an an empty project -- somehow I doubt it though.

Thanks for your help debugging!

 

No problem, thank you for taking the time to send us a sample, we'll be sure to investigate it as soon as possible!

 

Thank you for the sample!

We've examined the sample scene but, unfortunately, we're unable to replicate the issue on our side.

I requested some additional details via email. (specs, target platform, etc)

 

Replied to your email with specs; for now I'm willing to believe it was a Unity editor problem that has gone away with a reboot or something. i will let you know if I get it to happen again.

 

Hi,

Is the bloom selective, that is can it be applied to only certain objects in the game and leave everything else untouched ?

Thanks

 

Hello! Amplify Bloom supports masking, effectively excluding objects from the bloom effect, and we also provide a sample demonstrating how to generate dynamic masks here.

Please do note that the sample includes an outdated Amplify Bloom version, you may download an up-to-date trial version through our website and overwrite the one within or, if you have access to the full version, use that one instead.

 

Nice, thanks.

Is this operation also depth aware ? So one object with bloom partially occluded by a non bloom object will have partial bloom and the rest be hidden behind the occlude object ?

 

No problem!

While masking does allow to create that sort of effect, the effect itself is not depth aware.

 

Great, thanks

 

Hi,

I've been trying to add Bloom to my mobile project. In a blank test, everything works as expected but in my project things get a bit crazy (see screenshot)



I've tried copying settings from my project to the test project to try and get the same reaction but I can't.

I'm using Unity 2017.4.8f1

Is there anything specific I should be looking for?

Thanks

 

Hello, anybody there?

 

Hey there, can you send us a sample with the issue present to support@amplify.pt, so that we may debug this issue on our side? Also, what is the target device?

Thanks!

 

Hi, I can't send a project as it's too big, and when I build a repro project it's not present.

Target device is a Samsung Galaxy S8 plus.

 

Hello, you don't need to send the whole project, just a simple sample with the issue present so that we can examine it using the same data and settings that you're using, not to mention that it greatly speeds up the debug process while also enabling us to quickly pinpoint if there any AB related errors.

 

Hello, when HDR is enabled post process stack v1 bloom effect gives a very nice look to emissive materials. But for Amplify Bloom enabling/disabling HDR has no effect and emissive areas doesn't have higher bloom as I wished to see. Do I need to set anything special for it to work? Or is HDR unsupported?

 

Hello,

Can you share a screenshot of your parameters?
What order are you using?
What's your current Unity version?

We don't recommend using older PPS versions but we'll see what we can do based on your settings.

Thanks!

 

Hi,
I've been using ProcessingStackV2 in the past. It was able to handle HDR emissive textures. Though I can't manage to have the same result with amplify bloom. It looks like anything above 1 intensity is treated equally.

EDIT : it has something to do with PostProcessing stack itself. Will try to hunt this down.
EDIT2 : When disabling color grading it works. So it conflicts with it I gues.
EDIT3 : It has something to do with the tonemapping

Using unity 2017.9.f1

PPV2


Amplify + PPV2



Amplify + PPV2 (Without Color Grading)



Amplify + PPV2 (Without tonemaping only )



Final result without tonemapping, almost okay but some areas are too bright


In the end tonemapping is not compatible, whatever settings I tried. Maybe an issue with the way unity handles it ?

Update : Just happen to see it is the same issue as above.

 

Hi, any news on why tonemapping of PSV2 is not compatible ?

 

Hello, we deeply apologize for the delayed response!

Although we're not entirely sure of what might be causing this issue, we're going to have an in-depth pass on Amplify Bloom in order to investigate pending issues really soon, including the one you've reported.

We'll be sure to get back in touch as soon as we have any developments to share, thank you for understanding!

 

Hi, when trying out the trial package and running the demo scene, I get this error:

Code (CSharp):

1. MissingMethodException: bool UnityEngine.Texture2D.LoadImage(byte[])
2. UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent(Int32, IntPtr)

Maybe it's related to https://forum.unity.com/threads/unityengine-texture2d-loadimage-is-missing.467202/, but I ofc can't edit the source code.

I'm on 2018.2.8f1 targeting iOS.
