Why Does UnrealBloomPass Cause a Low-Resolution Output in three.js?

Hello everyone,
I recently started using three.js and encountered an issue when applying UnrealBloomPass to my renderer. Once I apply the bloom effect, the output appears very low resolution, like this:

However, when I remove the bloom pass, everything renders normally:

I've attached my code for reference: https://codesandbox.io/s/low-resolution-bug-iw4zo?file=/src/App.tsx
Can anyone help explain why this happens and suggest a fix?

The low resolution issue you're experiencing with the UnrealBloomPass is likely related to the resolution scaling of the render targets used by the EffectComposer.
When using post-processing effects like UnrealBloomPass with EffectComposer, you need to ensure that the resolution of the render targets is appropriate. The EffectComposer creates internal render targets that might be using a lower resolution by default for performance reasons.
Try adjusting the resolution scale in your code. Based on the information available in the Three.js documentation, you can try the following approaches:
JAVASCRIPT// Create the composer with the correct size and pixel ratio const composer = new EffectComposer(renderer); composer.setSize(width, height); composer.setPixelRatio(window.devicePixelRatio);
JAVASCRIPT// Set to 1 for full resolution (default) renderer.transmissionResolutionScale = 1;
JAVASCRIPTconst bloomPass = new UnrealBloomPass( new THREE.Vector2(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight), 1.5, // strength 0.4, // radius 0.85 // threshold );
JAVASCRIPTwindow.addEventListener('resize', () => { const width = window.innerWidth; const height = window.innerHeight; camera.aspect = width / height; camera.updateProjectionMatrix(); renderer.setSize(width, height); composer.setSize(width, height); });
These adjustments should help improve the resolution quality when using the UnrealBloomPass with your renderer.
