Creating glitter out of lights

Hi!

I’m using Unreal 5.2.1 and I want to create glitter out of lights. Something like this:

Sorry, I’m not English and I don’t know how to call that effect on the lights.

How can I create it?

Thanks!

UPDATE:

I forgot to say that I’m going to use it in a VR game.

It’s a post process effect, called ‘bloom’

As @ClockworkOcean said, Bloom is the option you’re looking for. If you’re using one of the recent versions of Unreal, changing the bloom method to Convolution will get you those star looking glow. (but it’s a bit more expensive than the standard method.)


Standard

@Extrone Sorry, but I forgot to say that I’m going to use it in a VR game. Is it recommended to use Convolution in a Virtual Reality game?

Thanks!

You’ll have to try and profile it to check the performance, it depends on the complexity of your scene
If you need a cheaper alternative you could fake it with textures, have a look at this link
