A Blender add-on that restores the bloom effect removed in Blender 4.2, for both EEVEE and Cycles.

What Bloom does

Bloom brings back a glow effect that was removed from Blender 4.2. Artists who relied on bloom for highlights, lights and stylized renders can get it back without reworking their scenes in the compositor.

The add-on works in both EEVEE and Cycles and supports Blender 4.2 and 4.3. It is marked compatible with the extension format, distributed under the GPL and documented. Users upgrading from earlier versions who miss the built-in bloom will find it a quick way to keep familiar results.
