Descriptive Problem Summary:
The bloom filter cuts off at the edge of the icon it's being drawn over, making it impossible to simply add a bloom effect over an icon that fills its canvas size
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
See test case
Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
Expected Results:
The bloom filter to appear around the icon, independent of the icon size
Actual Results:
The bloom effect only appears within the dimensions of the icon file
Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often?
urrday
In other games?

In other user accounts?

When does the problem NOT occur?

j/k.
Yes, you can create either a larger icon file (for example, if you want a 32pixel circle to bloom properly, create a 64 pixel icon and draw a 32 pixel circle in the center of it.

Unlike the blur filter bug I'm less sure about this one. I see why this issue is happening but I hesitate to call it a bug exactly. The key here is that bloom is a post-processing effect and isn't really meant for individual objects so much as plane masters.
|
Ran into this issue and got an idea:
I do have an idea but I'm not sure if it's doable: something of a "canvas_size" parameter that does (in the background / on the backend) whatever the engine does that requires a larger icon size to get a nice bloom. | |
I already do this for the blur filter.
The main problem here is, the bloom filter was never actually intended for individual icons. It was designed for post-processing on a whole scene. | |
