Godot 4: Glass Door shader (fast blur tutorial) - eviltoast

Hi everyone! Do you remember the video about detecting edges using the Sobel operator, which we enhanced by using Gaussian blur? One of the drawbacks of Gaussian blur is that it’s somewhat computationally intensive, which can pose some performance issues for our game if we want to apply such an effect in real-time. In this video, I will demonstrate a much faster way to blur our sprite or the entire screen.

    @NocturnalMorning @FencerDevLog you really have three options here :

    a) switch engines *highly recommended*

    b) be the change you want in the world , submit patches and try to make godot better

    c) continue to be upset and just complain a lot *definitely most fun option*

      Easier said than done. You have to be an engine dev to submit changes, which is a whole other ball game. I spent a week trying to figure out an engine bug with the collisions once, and I couldn’t make heads or tails of the issue. If I started learning the engine code and submitting PR’s, I wouldn’t have any time to actually make games (which is what I want to do)
