Depends how much blurring you want. The refraction shader has a blur built into it. You can do what you're asking using that (by making a new material with no refraction). The alpha of the texture defines how blurry it should be I think.
The blur using this method isn't really really blurry though.. so you have 2 options. Either do the effect multiple times (which would have performance issues) or make a new blur shader. garry On 7/16/07, Mukkan Yhtiö <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Greetings, I should first note that I havent dwelved into Shader creation *yet*, most because of the Perl involvment. Basically what I am attempting to do is add a blur around the edges of the viewport. In theory, as far as I know I have the following options: - Pixel Shader - VGUI Overlay I don't know if I have any other options, if I do please inform me, but for all I know there could be a similar shader in the engine that I can just use. Basically, what do you think is the best method to me achieveing this? By 'best' I mean, the method that takes the least work and still looks professional. Please keep in consideration that I don't really have the time on my hands right now to start dwelving into shaders, as much as I would like to.
