OpenGL Blur Filter available?? (Canyon Country App)

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

I just checked out the new iPad App “Canyon Country National Parks” http://bit.ly/n5FcNc (tweeted today).

They have this fantastic blur effect when opening a detail layer for an attraction. It seems like they are using some native function for this. Any ideas how this was done?!?

The reason I am asking is that I have the need for some “tilt shift” effect that can be dynamically applied to images.

Thanks for any pointers!! [import]uid: 15953 topic_id: 14791 reply_id: 314791[/import]

Hi Trumaj,

they essentially used a technique where they took a lower-res version of the image and scaled it up, and then added it as a top layer with some moderate alpha. Kinda “faking” it but depending on the situation it may be practical to do.

Hi @johannes_lalala,

Which specific effect are you looking for? The following shows a list of the new effects available in Graphics 2.0:
