I'm making some hologram decals and was wondering if anyone knew how to make them interact with the adaptive bloom shader. Does anyone know how to do this (if it's even possible)?

FYI, I'm talking animated decals/particle system. Figured I'd point that out

The adaptive bloom identifies the brightest areas of the screen, whether it's a segment, entity, skybox, particle...doesn't matter what it is, the bloom is then applied to just the brightest areas. Typically the brightest areas of the screen will be the self-illuminated parts. Particles/decals in FPSC are full-bright by default. So for a hologram type particle, just make sure it's a very bright, vibrant hue so that it will trigger the bloom.

Really? That easy? Wow... huh... I thought it was fairly vibrant as-is. Guess I have some tweaking to do. Thanks again bond1!
