juggernaut Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Hello everyone. I've been using paint.net to make my drawings/graphics glow using Effects>Photo>Glow which is great, but now i need to create some dynamic glow effects for my game, and I was wondering if anyone has any idea how the Glow Effect is programmed? and what algorithm was used for it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juggernaut Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 Wow, I wasn't even thinking of this approach and was thinking that the glow effect alters the RGB channels directly based on some algorithm. Thank You for the algorithm @toe_head2001. I'll try to convert the instructions into code and will post the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xaml Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 It may less of an answer to the question at the end of your sentence and more of a pondering on what you mention at its beginning, through my experimentation I noticed that the motion blur effect, perhaps in combination with the glow effect, can lead to something relatively dynamic in regards to an image and parts of an image.
