REAL BLOOM is a high-performance, code plugin for Unreal Engine, designed to recreate authentic optical light effects such as bloom,lens flares,glares,star filters,chromatic aberration and more and more visual aesthetic details.

It focuses on Render Graph workflow, all effects is done via Global Shaders. It helps to achieve more complex and optimized post process effects.

Perfect for cinematic productions, sci-fi environments, cyberpunk aesthetics, racing games, or any project requiring professional-grade bloom where light should feel luminous, organic, and photographic.

Core REAL BLOOM features:

• Real Bloom - custom bloom solution with different scalability settings. You can achieve with that old-school 00s era bloom or modern photoreal glare. Also supports different shapes and tints.

• Anamorphic Streaks - simulates light leaks via anamorphic lenses. Supports multi-tap blur passes and vertical/horizontal streaks.

• Halation - realistic analog film additional red-orange tinted bloom. Helps to achieve especial retro-look and vibes.

• Star Filter - star/spikes shaped light leaks. Realistic effect from camera lenses.

• CCD Streaks - digital camera overexposed streaks/lens flares. Suitable for horror game/Y2K aesthetics (in real life this effect appears on cheap digital cameras)

• Chromatic Aberration - chromatic aberration with multi-steps support and different distortions (Latiral,Astigmatism,Spherism etc)

• Lens Distortion - Phystical based lens distortion with in-built chromaticity

• Lens Dirt/Screen Grunge - grungy creative effect of lens imperfections.

• Lens Flares - modular screen space lens flares with ghosts and halos,AR-coating tinting and distortions.
