[EFFECT] Giant Blurs (Adjustable-Size)

BIG BLEEPING BLURS

Do you have a hankering for massive, screen-obscuring blurs? Well, these two shaders are for you - yes, you! - to enjoy in all their giant-ness. However, big blurs require a big GPU investment - each of these is about twice as intensive as a regular blur, but can be up to 8 times larger without any major loss in quality.

Features

• Comes in two flavors: horizontal, and vertical. I'm not making a single omnidirectional shader; you'll just have to stack them.
• Blur size can be adjusted, but there's a loss of quality at higher sizes. 400% is a good maximum size for most images.

I don't frequent these forums too often, but I'll try to reply to any questions, concerns, or critiques in a timely fashion. College may get in the way of that.

EDIT: You do not have to credit me if you use this shader in your project, as it's not exactly super-original or interesting. Wouldn't be bad, but not necessary.

thanks a lot!! i will find some way of using this n.n... credits to you of course

Thank you, madame. This isn't exactly a super-original shader, so credit isn't necessary if you're using it in a game. (Probably should have included that in the original post, actually. Thank you for reminding me.)

Great!

Sorry to bump an older thread, but these are REALLY good, thank you for making a decent quality blur effect with a good range to play with. This is opening some awesome possibilities for a tool I'm working on.

These are quite impressive. And they certainly aren't as 'cpu destroying' as the author would have you believe; they are silky smooth on my HD4000 iGPU. Thanks, TheBen!

Re-uploaded it on Dropbox, see if it still works:

Jeez, it's been three years since I last posted this and people are still using it? That's great news.

TheBen Hi. I've noticed that the sprites that have massive blures applied to them are a bit transparent. Can you fix that ?
