updated bloomfilter with source

Someone asked me for a bloomfilter so here is mine with few updates. It's now using multitexturing + multiply 2x to get the effect done... and still uses a slightly modified textureblurring routine from SSwift.

The source is kind of mess and you maybe have to mess with some of it to get the effect you want... but I'll put it here if someone has use for it...

You can play with a few parameters in the test program.

Excellent, thanks Bouncer! Much appreciated!

Thanks Bouncer , Cool effect

yeah, thanks a lot.

Nice one m8 - was wondering how u got those effects.

(Just to be a wet blanket)

- hopefully BMax's 3d engine will allow for this sort of fx to be done without having to resort to rendering stacks of quads etc..

Yeah... It's a bit waste to do it like this. But currently in B3D there's no other way than tricks like this. It would run much better if done in pixelshader on never hardware.

As an extra, if you run your initial render through a two quad stack (top quad set to add, bottom set to multiply), before blurring, you can filter out some of the non-bright areas of your render image (sort of like bumping up the contrast/turning down the brightness).

looks cool
