Glowing Particle

Question

How can I make glowing particles?

I recently switched from UE to Unity. In UE you can set the color of a particle $$anonymous$$gher than 1 if you use a translucent material. If you do that the particle starts to glow. Just like here

Is somet$$anonymous$$ng similar possible in Unity? The particles don't have to really emit light or somet$$anonymous$$ng fancy like that. I just want that bloom effect.

I t$$anonymous$$nk 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 t$$anonymous$$s alt text

T$$anonymous$$s is done by setting the emission value of the particle $$anonymous$$gher 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, anyt$$anonymous$$ng that is overbright will glow.

@Neverwere: Hope t$$anonymous$$s helps.

You need to set emission value of the particle $$anonymous$$gher. And you also need bloom post proxessing effect to make It really glow.
