so far I managed to recreate old materials (marble for example), as for neon everything is very hard, it seems to me that I won’t be able to repeat it exactly, only if roblox allows applying blur to materials

wow this looks very similar, interesting how you made the black color glow. this is clearly not the standard roblox bloom effect

what did you use to blur the specific parts?

How is this accomplished? I assume it’s maybe using a hacky technique with the DepthofField processing effects. Either way, this is cool.

You might be able to slightly recreate this effect by using billboard ui’s with a image with the desired glow but this might only work for squares or just spheres depending on what decal you use, plus it might not be that preformabe friendly if you use them everywhere, but im not that sure.

do you mean to draw a glow on an image?

guys have you noticed the neon transparency change if you go darker in the color slider. With that we can alter the neon to make it glow even if we changed the color slider. but how?

I don’t quite understand what you mean, can you demonstrate? for me neon works as usual

What i meant was, if you were to change the color slider (at the right) from the rgb colors, the neon would get opaque and transparent

I haven’t noticed such behavior in myself

you can achieve the illusion of glow by slightly blurring

Using blureffect in lighting service?
