Simple Blur - URP

This asset allows you to blur 3D and 2D scenes to switch the focus of the user's attention to something new, for example, an emerging menu or message.

Highlighting important interface elements is one of the main tools for improving user perception. Switching attention can be done in different ways from the smooth escape of the buttons over the edges of the screen to darkening the background. These also include the effect of blurring the image. On the one hand, it reduces the contrast of background elements, and it becomes harder for the eye to catch on to it. On the other hand, blurring has a subconscious effect when the image becomes out of focus and we perceive it differently.

Two types of shaders (LitBlur, UnlitBlur) allow you to use blur for UI, 2D and 3D scenes. Specifically for the UI, a good addition is the ability to mask.
Features:

• Easy to use;
• Customizable;
• Smooth, high-quality blur effect.

Hi, I have sent a new version 1.1.5 of the asset for moderation and the problem with the crash may have been solved in it. The update will be available in a couple of days, but if you need it now, write me an email isleofassets@gmail.com

 

I got ver1.1.5 and the problem was fixed. Thank you for your support!!

 

Does it work with VR?

 

Hi @isleofassets, I bought `Fast Mobile Blur - URP`. I'm looking to use a couple quads (not UI rects) with the effect to obscure the background. So far, the effect does the entire screen and adding the `BlurURP` material to a quad isn't working.

 

@isleofassets, so I bought both `Fast Mobile Blur - URP` and `Simple Blur - URP`.

Looks like Simple Blur has a major issue -- either that or Unity 2021.3.18 is face planting:

In the attached image, the game view is on the left, the editor view in the right, and a quad running the Unlit blur shader can be seen as a rect running in the game view. However, instead of blurring out what's behind it's using a feed from the editor camera!?

If you're going to be selling this thing (specially as multiple products), the appropriate QA could be better. Please fix this asap? Please message or email me if you need help with a repro.

 

Hi, yes it works in VR

 

Hi, please send me this project with the scene in the picture by email and I will try to figure out what is wrong. You are the first to write to me with a similar problem, so I can't even guess what caused it.

 

Apparently I can't make make a repro project, and I can't send you our main project unfortunately.

I am noticing some things about the code that are not leaving me feel good:
- constructing strings in loops when they could be done once an stored (GC load)
- not putting things in descriptive constants (just pasted places)
- What is the purpose of `Instances`?

You have my email -- happy to jump on a video call and show you the behavior and we can do a trace together. Prolly knock it in 15 mins. I am so slammed, and this is unfortunately the last thing I have time for unfortunately.

 

Hi @isleofassets, I was able to reproduce it and emailed you the project.

 

Hi, you just used the wrong Render Pipeline Asset. I have sent a solution to this problem by email, I hope it will help you.

 

Switching to your URP settings asset, seeing it go away, and calling it "fixed" isn't very helpful. Instead, it would be helpful to identify what is happening. Do you know what's happening?

1) If I encountered this in minutes, then it is reasonable that others will as well
2) It's not reasonable to ask / assume others will use you URP settings asset when theirs is already set up in their project. Please know that most people aren't about to replace their URP settings asset with a vanilla one.

Can you please identify what is causing the issue? In the repro project I sent you, what about it exactly is not set up properly causing the blur to fail? What about the repro project's URP settings are not set up properly that is causing the issue?

 

It appears the issue occurs when render order is set to After Rendering Transparents is ok when set to Before Rendering Transparents. By using your own URP settings asset, you were applying different settings for this and therefore were not seeing the issue.

 

it can work with 2D sprite and UI image on canvas and with URP?

 

Hi, if you still need an answer, then please describe in more detail what you want to do and send me an email isleofassets@gmail.com
