I wanted a blur like this:
But I have this(lol):
I made the first one in Photoshop, hoping I could achieve something similar in-game. Here is my fragment shader(using radius 5.0):
//"in" attributes from our vertex shader
varying vec4 vColor;
varying vec2 vTexCoord;
//declare uniforms
uniform sampler2D u_texture;
uniform float resolution;
uniform float radius;
uniform vec2 dir;
void main() {
vec4 sum = vec4(0.0);
//our original texcoord for this fragment
vec2 tc = vTexCoord;
//the amount to blur, i.e. how far off center to sample from
//1.0 -> blur by one pixel
//2.0 -> blur by two pixels, etc.
float blur = radius/resolution;
//the direction of our blur
//(1.0, 0.0) -> x-axis blur
//(0.0, 1.0) -> y-axis blur
float hstep = dir.x;
float vstep = dir.y;
//apply blurring, using a 9-tap filter with predefined gaussian weights
sum += texture2D(u_texture, vec2(tc.x - 4.0*blur*hstep, tc.y - 4.0*blur*vstep)) * 0.0162162162;
sum += texture2D(u_texture, vec2(tc.x - 3.0*blur*hstep, tc.y - 3.0*blur*vstep)) * 0.0540540541;
sum += texture2D(u_texture, vec2(tc.x - 2.0*blur*hstep, tc.y - 2.0*blur*vstep)) * 0.1216216216;
sum += texture2D(u_texture, vec2(tc.x - 1.0*blur*hstep, tc.y - 1.0*blur*vstep)) * 0.1945945946;
sum += texture2D(u_texture, vec2(tc.x, tc.y)) * 0.2270270270;
sum += texture2D(u_texture, vec2(tc.x + 1.0*blur*hstep, tc.y + 1.0*blur*vstep)) * 0.1945945946;
sum += texture2D(u_texture, vec2(tc.x + 2.0*blur*hstep, tc.y + 2.0*blur*vstep)) * 0.1216216216;
sum += texture2D(u_texture, vec2(tc.x + 3.0*blur*hstep, tc.y + 3.0*blur*vstep)) * 0.0540540541;
sum += texture2D(u_texture, vec2(tc.x + 4.0*blur*hstep, tc.y + 4.0*blur*vstep)) * 0.0162162162;
gl_FragColor = vColor * vec4(sum.rgba);
}
How can I decrappify it? Is it too much performance drawback? I'm actually planning to render a blurred scene a single time, cache it and then later apply a mask on which area to render blurred and unblurred. It will be used while sniper is aiming, I guess it would look cooler than just plain black.
