Glowing Particle
How can I make glowing particles?
I recently switched from UE to Unity. In UE you can set the color of a particle higher than 1 if you use a translucent material. If you do that the particle starts to glow. Just like here
Is something similar possible in Unity? The particles don't have to really emit light or something fancy like that. I just want that bloom effect.

This is done by setting the emission value of the particle higher than 1, and applying a bloom post-process effect to the camera with a threshold of 1. The camera also must have 'HDR' checked. Then, anything that is overbright will glow.
@Neverwere: Hope this helps.

I think it's not that simple in Unity. I have 2 solutions in my mind: 1. You will need to create a clone particle system and make it's elements bigger and more transparent\ 2. Make a texture for your particles like this

You need to set emission value of the particle higher. And you also need bloom post proxessing effect to make It really glow.
It does seem redundant to post the exact same answer as someone else an hour later.
