If [code]true[/code], the glow effect is enabled.
[b]Note:[/b] Only effective if [member ProjectSettings.rendering/quality/intended_usage/framebuffer_allocation] is [b]3D[/b] ([i]not[/i] [b]3D Without Effects[/b]). On mobile, [member ProjectSettings.rendering/quality/intended_usage/framebuffer_allocation] defaults to [b]3D Without Effects[/b] by default, so its [code].mobile[/code] override needs to be changed to [b]3D[/b].
[b]Note:[/b] When using GLES3 on mobile, HDR rendering is disabled by default for performance reasons. This means glow will only be visible if [member glow_hdr_threshold] is decreased below [code]1.0[/code] or if [member glow_bloom] is increased above [code]0.0[/code]. Also consider increasing [member glow_intensity] to [code]1.5[/code]. If you want glow to behave on mobile like it does on desktop (at a performance cost), enable [member ProjectSettings.rendering/quality/depth/hdr]'s [code].mobile[/code] override.

The higher threshold of the HDR glow. Areas brighter than this threshold will be clamped for the purposes of the glow effect.

If [code]true[/code], uses nearest-neighbor mipmap filtering when using mipmaps (also called "bilinear filtering"), which will result in visible seams appearing between mipmap stages. This may increase performance in mobile as less memory bandwidth is used. If [code]false[/code], linear mipmap filtering (also called "trilinear filtering") is used.

Strategy used for framebuffer allocation. The simpler it is, the less resources it uses (but the less features it supports). If set to "2D Without Sampling" or "3D Without Effects", sample buffers will not be allocated. This means [code]SCREEN_TEXTURE[/code] and [code]DEPTH_TEXTURE[/code] will not be available in shaders and post-processing effects will not be available in the [Environment].
