Motion Blurr

Post by Marco Hernandez »

Hello, I wanna know how to invoke a motion Blurr effect to the screen on any time and duration. ¿Any one have any Idea of how to do that?

Here are a list of example games and where a similar effect occurrs.
Grand Theft Auto 3 - When It rains
Chaos Legion - When you make a critical hit on an enemy
Max Payne 2 - When you reload you gun in bullet time mode
Doom3 - When you get the Beserk Powerup Item

an idea how to do it:

1. get the current view and project it on a texture
2. display that texture several times with different alpha values on the screen and with a little offset per picture

but that would require render-to-texture, which irrlicht does not support at the moment (but niko is working on it i guess)

:idea: Would it be possible with a vertex shader where a direction vector is pased in and the vertices are 'streaked' backwards with decreasing alpha values.

Its possible with pixel shaders and render to texture for a post processing pass

Allright then...

¿Where can I find a Clear and Direct Explenation of Shaders? I thought shaders only apply to Materials, not to the screen. ¿Am I missing something?
