Blurring below UMG elements - is it possible?

[StrangerGwenn]

Yeah, it’s a blendable material in a post process on the level.

• Make a “blur manager” that creates a render target and pass it to the post process.
• Have all your widgets call it at each tick with their geometry.
• The blur manager would draw the geometry as a white color on a black background.

Probably not so hard, just painful, and not very efficient.

Can you please post screenshots of your blueprints?

[StrangerGwenn]

I’m not using Blueprint, and that’s not how I did it anyway.

Basically I blur inside a quad defined by a position and size, and feed that from a special (unique) widget.

See the sources here and look for “BlurMaterial”.

Just in case somebody finds this thread in the future, this is going to be included in Unreal 4.15.
