## What it is
KinoBloom is a bloom/veiling glare image effect for Unity implemented as a shader-based post-processing effect. It offers configurable threshold, intensity, radius, quality, and anti-flicker options.

## Use cases
- add bloom glow effect to Unity scenes
- create veiling glare post-processing in games
- make bright areas glow in Unity renders
- add cinematic lighting effects to Unity projects

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, MIT-licensed bloom effect for Unity 5.5+
- you want fine control over threshold, soft knee, and radius
- you target both desktop and mobile with quality toggles

## When to avoid
- you use a modern Unity version with the built-in post-processing stack or URP/HDRP volumes
- you need effects beyond bloom
- you require actively updated releases (last release 2017)

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: image-processing, graphics
- domain: graphics
- platform: game-engine, cross-platform
- tags: unity, shader, post-processing, bloom, image-effect, game-development
