@Ravendarke I’m really confused now, I didnt really understand where did you place it and use it, and I think my code is broken by now completly, ive been told there are problems with my rendertarget because i set it as texture and render on it, or something like that, I’ve never used shaders and im reallllly confused and lost. If you can take a look in my code and maybe understand something ill be very greatful, because right now I have legit depression.

also this guy said he seen only bloom, while i see no bloom, I just see normal without bloom…
