[EFFECT] Low quality gaussian blur with variable range.

Easily store, modify, read and manipulate colors with Color Variables!
  • I've tried to find a way to use variable samples while calculating the blur, but the calculations involved in creating the gaussian function's result are too complex for PS2.0.

    Here you only have 7 samples, as this is quite expansive in terms of operations. If you want a version with more samples, it should be divided in 2 separate shaders (or maybe passes ?).

    You can control the distance of the blur and the intensity of the image in construct.

    Save it with the notepad as a .fx file and place it into construct's effects folder.

    EDIT : changed the filtering from point to linear.

    //DistanceMultisampleBlur
    // Valerien
    //PS2.0
    //Distance blur with 7 samples.
    
    //BORDER-MODE
    
    //#PARAM float distance 1 : distance : modifies the distance of the blur
    float distance;
    
    //#PARAM float intensityDivide 2 : intensityDivide : affects the intensity of the resulting image. 2 produces a normal image.
    float intensityDivide;
