Blur Effects

[adgray1]

Hey folks,

With the release of Nova v2.1.0, we're excited to introduce out-of-box support for background blurs, layer blurs, and a range of color filters in the Nova asset with the new BlurEffect component!

Here's a link to the overview in our documentation, and we created a brief YouTube tutorial to help people get started with the basic setup.

Because creating a background blur visual effect is dependent on having the background scene content rendered to a Render Texture, which often involves creating properly configured Render Texture assets, additional camera management, etc., we've also included the BackgroundBlurGroup utility component in this release to help streamline the setup - all covered in the tutorial.

Check out the new UIBlur.unity scene if you're just interested in figuring it out yourself and/or playing around with the effects!

This looks great! But I wanna ask whether this is supported in VR (like in Oculus). There are a lot of Blur assets in Unity, but none of them works on VR...
