Implementing the glow effect

Now that we know how to perform offscreen rendering and blurring, we will put this knowledge to use by implementing the glow effect. The code for this recipe is in the Chapter3/Glow directory. In this recipe, we will render a set of points encircling a cube. Every 50 frames, four alternate points glow.

How to do it…

Let us get started with the recipe as follows:

Render the scene normally by rendering the points and the cube. The particle shader renders the GL_POINTS value (which by default, renders as quads) as circles.

grid->Render(glm::value_ptr(MVP)); cube->Render(glm::value_ptr(MVP)); glBindVertexArray(particlesVAO); particleShader.Use(); glUniformMatrix4fv(particleShader("MVP"), 1, GL_FALSE, glm::value_ptr(MVP*Rot)); ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
