FastBloom
Blooming is the optical effect where light from a bright source (such as a glint) appears to leak into surrounding objects. This image effect adds such a glow in a fast and optimized way. If you need more flexibility, try the more sophisticated Bloom effect instead.
This bloom effect works especially well with HDR enabled scenes.
