Creating a bloom effect in Blender can enhance the visual appeal of your projects, but exporting it with transparency presents some challenges. I start by demonstrating the basic steps of adding an emission material to an object and adjusting its properties to achieve the bloom effect. Next, I discuss the importance of using the glare node to make the bloom visible in rendered mode and the need to enable transparency under the film options.
As we proceed to export the image, I highlight the common issue where the bloom effect fails to appear on the transparent background. To solve this, I explain the necessity of exporting two separate files: one with the silhouette of the object and another with a combined image on a darker background. This method ensures the bloom effect is preserved when layered in external programs.
Using Blender's compositing workspace, I guide you through setting up mix nodes and file outputs to automate the export process. This approach not only simplifies the workflow but also prevents crashes. Finally, I demonstrate how to combine the exported images in an image editing program and show how this technique can be applied within Blender's video editing workspace.
