How to Make Objects Glow in Blender

Would you like to learn how to make your objects glow in Blender? Adding a glowing effect to your 3D creations can enhance their visual appeal and make them stand out. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to achieve a glowing effect on an object in Blender.

Setting Up the Scene

Add a Mesh: Start by adding a mesh to your scene, such as a cube.
Adjust the Background: Go to the world settings and set the background color to complete black. This will make it easier to see the glowing effect on the mesh.

Creating the Glow Effect

Applying a Material: In the materials section, create a new material. Click on the surface option and choose 'Emission' as the shader type.
Adjusting the Emission Strength: Set the strength of the emission. For example, you can start with a value of three. You can also choose the color of the emission.
Viewing the Effect: Switch to render mode to preview how the object looks. You will notice that the object is emitting light but not exactly glowing.

Making the Object Glow

Enabling Bloom: To make the object glow, go to the render settings and enable the 'Bloom' option. This will create a glowing effect around the object.
Customizing the Glow: By clicking on the arrow next to the Bloom option, you can access additional settings to customize the glow effect. Adjust the intensity, color, radius, and other parameters to achieve the desired look.

Experiment and Have Fun

Feel free to experiment with the settings to fine-tune the glow effect on your objects. Don't hesitate to play around with different values until you achieve the desired result. With a bit of tweaking, you can make your meshes glow in Blender and add an extra touch of visual interest to your projects.
