Smooth unblur

[latent flicker]

I'm handling background blur with a world environment scene. I currently set up a script that just lets me swap between the 2 worldenvironments.

1 of the is default, and the other is glow enabled, and blend mode = replace. (this is how u get the blur effect). no other values are changed.

how would i go about "unblurring" slowly? i cant think of a way. you cant tween a value like this since theyre true/false and you cant self modulate an environment level

Could you tween the camera depth of field controls to create the blur?

depth of field isn't something built in as far as i know.

It's an attribute of the camera:

oh i see, by bad i'm not that experienced with 3d.

if you use mix instead of replace, you can blend between the normal and the blurred version.

from my testing it seems like the blur you get from out of focus is binary, not getting less extreme the closer you get to the focal length. so it doesn't seem to be suitable for this.

You're right, however I managed to get a nice blur using the CameraAttributesPractical:

[jade girder]

hm, yes that looks even better than the glow-approach i would say.

[latent flicker]

hmm....

its a shame, the glow approach is much smoother and looks way nicer- i cant figure out how to get rid of these sharp/pointy edges

the settings on my blur are near enabled, near distance 20m, and im just tweening the amount between 0 and 0.5

it's probably a pretty simple blur so it's more performant. it also seems like it's supposed to be something like bokeh blur, not like the gaussian blur which is what most people think of.

for this using a custom shader for the blur would probably be better
