Unity 5 2D Bloom Effect?
I'm trying to figure out how to give a 2D sprite a bloom or glow effect, but most of the results I'm finding are from before Unity 5 was available (and before the Bloom effect was free).
How can I create a external glow on a 2D sprite?
This plugin called MK Glow System works for internal glows based on a texture, but I want to simply emit some light around the perimeter of my sprite.
Bloom is an image effect included in the standard assets package. Just add the component to your camera - it's identical whether you're working in 2d or 3d.
lags like hell when there are several sprites in the scene, drops to about 20 FPS
You add an image effect to your scene camera: https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/modules/beginner/live-training-archive/imageeffects-overview
