Hey.
How can i make gaussian blur effect? (blurred background)
Like this http://i48.tinypic.com/2qapi0w.png
I don't have .fx file.

Use Photoshop.

Use Photoshop.

I want to make it in-game, not outside.

Eh, he means you use Photoshop to blur a background image, and then add it in-game via DirectX functions.

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

1. dxDrawImage

If this is still not what you mean, you should check out the shader feature, which was added a while ago.

I know the function but not the effect file, or the lua script I can not prepare

p.s.: sry for my bad english, i used google translator

If you can't make such easy thing like drawing an image in the screen, then you should start learning Lua -- drawing an image is a very basic thing.

I expressed myself badly
almost everything I can do whatever I want in lua, but I do not know the .fx file prepared

There's no need for use of shaders.
Photoshop is enough.

Can you show me how can I do it? There is a graphic of the team, but unfortunately he can not make that transparent to the blur. (I do not want to blur an image, but the player's camera. Such an HDR effect, but it is only 2D)

I think you could use shader "motion blur" (by orange) from community. Just strip the lua out of 'motion stuff' and fix the blur values x and y. You may need to edit the fx file. I guess that's the easiest way.

The problem is that the effect is only one-way. The gaussian blur effect benefits both directions is required. A vertical and a horizontal accordingly.

As far as i can say , that is not that tough to realise how this effect is drawn and modify it .. just play with the .x and .y stuff.

or ..
you might check this out:

this is what you have on mind ? - it's not HLSL, but it's not that hard to understand/convert it.


update:
How about looking at shader_bloom from examples...

yes, it is, i'll try it

Another thought. blurH and V effect from shader_bloom.
If you want to use just one effect do that:

blurH: changes from line 95

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

1.    for(int i = 0; i < 7; ++i)
2.     {
3.         coord.x = PS.TexCoord.x + Kernel[i]/sTex0Size.x;
4.         coord.y = PS.TexCoord.y + Kernel[i]/sTex0Size.y;
5.         Color += tex2D(Sampler0, coord.xy) * Weights[i] * sBloom;
6.     }

i edited the c_bloom.lua and the blurh.fx files and it works
thank you very much
