The Two pass blur effect is an optimized implementation of a full blur. It achieves this by combining horizontal and vertical blurs in sequence, creating a smooth, omnidirectional blur effect.
How it works
The Two pass blur performs blurring in two stages:
- First pass: A horizontal blur is applied to the original image
- Second pass: A vertical blur is applied to the result of the first pass
This is process is repeated N times, where N the number of passes defined by you
This approach produces higher quality results than attempting to blur in all directions at once.
Controllers
| Name | Type | Description | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amount | Number | Controls the overall intensity of the blur effect | 0-100 |
| Passes | Number | Number of times to repeat the blur process | 1-10 |
Performance warning
Two pass blur can be quite performance intensive with higher pass numbers. For larger blur effects, try using a higher Amount value (even above 100) with fewer passes, then adding another Two pass blur effect with low pass count to smooth out the result.
