i have 7.21.0

i am very confussed because i have been doing many tests copying from examples and now i get this funny situation where i can get the blur but only if i include this in my code

MATERIAL* mat = {}
VIEW* v2 = {material = mat;}
VIEW* v3 =
{
flags = VISIBLE;
stage = v2;
}

this is ridiculous isnt it?

thanks for the tip about stencil_map i am going to look into it
