Does BloomFilter work with PBR Emissive values?

And if so, is there anything special I need to do to my forked versions of the pbr shader to get it to work?

It seems like using a bloom filter does something to the shiney parts of my terrain at day when the DirectionalLight is bright, but not at night (which is strange because I don’t think I had an emissive value set on this terrain). However the bloom filter doesn’t appear to do anything noticeable to a normal model that’s using my forked version of PBRLighting even though it does have an emissive value set to it.

Afaik, for PBR, you need to use GlowMode.Scene in the BloomFilter.

Edit:

Or otherwise, you may want to make these changes to your PBR material:

I make plenty of custom materials and never seem to have to do anything special to get them to “bloom”… just be bright.

But maybe I’m accidentally cutting-pasting something from shader to shader. (I never use glow mode.) I also don’t use PBR.

Note: my lights are almost always brighter than 1 in these cases.
