Bring your game to AAA status through Post Processing!

Objective: Learn how to improve the visuals of your project through Post Processing.

In order for us to be able to use the Post Processing effects, we have to install the Unity package from our Package Manager.

Installing our Post Processing package from the Package Manager. The remove button should be Install if the package is not installed.

Now that we’ve installed our package, we are going to create an empty object that is going to hold the Post Processing information.

Creating our Post Processing Volume object.

Now that we have an object for it, we can start to create effects. I’ll start first with Bloom.

Creating our Bloom effect.

You can notice that when I increased the intensity, nothing was happening. Well, we got to make sure our Camera has a Post Processing Layer, and its processing the layer for our effect.

Creating our Layer and the Post Processing Layer in our Camera. We can see the changes when the intensity is increased.

So now we can play with more effects if we want. Let’s try Color Grading.

In order to properly play with Color Grading and make sure we have the High Definition Range for our effects, we need to make sure to change our Color settings to Linear (from Gamma).

Changing our Color Space to Linear.

If you play around you can notice how much you can impact the visual of your game, with the use of Post Processing effects!
