Customer Reviews​

June 2025    ★★★★★    It's really nice! 
I tried creating a glow effect that I saw in other games, I couldn't figure it out myself, I found this asset and wow it's really good! I was able to replicate really nice glowing effects in other games to different UI elements, I love it, I have no complaints in my time of using it!  –  meta420 
April 2025    ★★★★★    Glowy Goodness! 
So I tried this glow filter and it’s like my UI got a magical makeover!! My buttons and text now have this super pretty glow that makes everything look shiny and cool. It’s crazy easy to use – just add it and play with the settings a bit. I love that it works in edit mode so I can see the glow right away without starting the game! Also, it didn’t slow down my project at all which is awesome cuz my laptop’s kinda old..  –  LoRaWAN 
September 2024    ★★★★★    This asset is an absolute game-changer! 
It took my Canvas/uGUI-based UI to AAA quality in no time, and the best part—it works with all render pipelines! It’s also super smooth with both TextMeshPro and Image controls, which is a big win. The customization options are endless, allowing me to tweak every detail, and the fact that everything is animatable? Mind-blowing! Performance-wise, it’s rock solid. And let me tell you, the support is incredible—super kind and always helpful! I’m honestly so excited because the project I’m working on is going to rely entirely on these fantastic plugins  –  alizdesk 

Upgradable to UIFX Bundle​

This asset can later be upgraded to the full UIFX Bundle asset at a reduced cost!

After purchasing this asset, the UIFX Bundle asset price will be discounted by the cost of this asset. So if you paid $30 for this asset, and the UIFX Bundle currently costs $100, then you will only be charaged $70 when you want upgrade.

This upgrade discount will be available as long as both assets are still available on the Unity Asset Store - so you don't have to rush to make a decision.

Note that this upgrade discount only applies for purchases made via the Unity Asset Store, and not during a sale event.
