Anamorphic Bloom

Nodes

Adds a bloom effect similar to glare seen in anamorphic lenses. It uses a 5-step box blur that is applied along the Y axis (left-right).

Inputs

• Exposure (Float)

  • Adjusts the exposure of the output of the node.

  • Similar to scene exposure in Blender.

• Scale (Float)

  • Scale of the bloom along the Y axis.

• Weight (Float)

  • Weight determines the mix bias of the blur chain.

  • Larger weight means a tighter, punchier bloom.

    • Larger weight means the smaller scale blurs will be mixed in more.

  • Smaller weight is a softer, larger bloom.

    • Smaller weight means the larger scale blurs will be mixed in more.
