i was testing bloom using the cameraframe class and started to get black frames or black artifacts. at low blur levels, i see black boxes, while at higher levels the boxes become so big that they cover the whole screen – so it looks like black frames.
it only appears when i introduce a reflective material into the scene. i found that the artifacts vanish when i turn off webgu in the config, though. i went back to PlayCanvas Examples and realized it happens there too.
Yep I’ve noticed that few days ago on my nvidia 2070, and it’s on my list to fix. I suspect the shader in some cases generates Inf / Nan values and bloom propagates those. I fixed some in the past, must be still an instance of this somewhere.
Oh, I’m getting it too. The weird thing is the 3D modeler I’m working with says he hasn’t seen it at all. I’m also using the camera frame script to apply bloom.
Edit: Martin, on Discord I DM’d you a Spector.JS save of a frame generation with that artifact.
Edit 2: I’m seeing it on both the Bloom and the DoF camera-frame effects.
… but good to know!
