HyperGlow
Add deep, cinematic glow effects to any layer in your Cavalry projects. Inspired by Deep Glow for After Effects, HyperGlow uses a multi-pass pipeline to produce smooth, massive-radius bloom from luminance highlights with full creative control.
Glow Styles
Choose from Normal (circular), Vertical, Horizontal, Cross, or Star glow shapes. Each style produces a distinct directional bloom, and the Glow Diffusion control lets you blend any directional style back toward a natural circular aura.
Chromatic Dispersion
Add rainbow spectrum effects to your glow with the Chroma Shift control. Unlike simple hue rotation, HyperGlow uses a combination of chromatic aberration (per-channel blur separation) and spectrum tinting to produce visible color dispersion on any source color, including pure white.
Glow Soften
The Glow Soften control applies a post-process blur that dissolves banding artifacts, especially at large glow radii and high intensity. It adapts automatically to your glow settings — at 0 there is no performance cost, and higher values progressively smooth the result.
Film Grain
Built-in animated film grain adds organic texture over the glow, helping to break up any remaining banding and giving the effect a more cinematic feel.
Blend Modes
Five compositing modes for blending the glow over your original: Add, Screen, Color Dodge, Overlay, and Linear Light. Each produces a different character of bloom.
