I tried it out. Although, it doesn't seem to have the bloom, and I couldn't figure out how to properly scale the entity that the view is being put on, to the screen's size. Screen becomes a bit darker too, but mabye this was the lack of bloom. Fog also doesn't work yet.. Overall though, pretty good job so far. I wonder though, is motion blur possible with bloom? Thanks for showing it.

- Bloom: Havn't added any bloom yet

- darker: It shouldn't be, but it may be due to mixing the four copies of the view

- fog: Sorry, I forgot to have the blur's view copy the fog parameters from the camera view.



I know this isn't anything special, I just wanted to release something to show progress... sorry

Nothing to sorry bro you are doing great job and free

I havn't actually tested it myself, but my guess is that it has something to do with rendering to textures. {i'm guessing] that rendering to a texture comes dircetly from the view, not after any effects...

I [believe] that I used vec_lerp() for blending the images on the blur shader, but perhaps I changed that after I sent the code to PHeMoX

@ xXxGuitar:
Your shader doesn't look like real blur..
Is there an other way doing it?
Like that:

interesting.. at this screen olny trees has a motion blur... rest of buildings have only bloom. The same is in f.e. Test Drive Unlimited.
So maybe my idea to create clone (maybe less detialed) for entitys (trees) and scale it x/y depends of camera position and add a gradient alpha channel to better looking... it's not so bad idea?

well... with shaders... 4000 polys per model .... this gonna be hard..

There are many problems with doing motion blur. For example, if you had an object fly past the user (standing still), you would want it to blur that object, yes? However, the PP shader doesn't know which pixel to move, or which dirrection to smear them, so I take several shots and mix them newest first, oldest last.

However, that method does not actually "blur" objects, it just creates several mixed copies of it, which "sort-of" blurs it

I havn't added anything to the shader (besides lerp() for better mixing), because I don't really know what to do next. If anyone wants to, please feel free to take my release and continue it.... I'm out of ideas and time

^^ if someone is feeling a bit clever it actually has a lot of the shader there. i didn't look at it enough to determine how much is directly usable with GS, but it looks good! i think their implementation would work better with balls than complex objects, but i've got some ideas that could be used with animated objects if i have time this weekend.
