I’m currently trying to achieve a blurred UI effect like this (Star Wars Battlefront):
Anybody know how I can do this?
If you look in the UI Source (https://bitbucket.org/Unity-Technologies/ui) or in the UI Extensions project (UnityUIExtensions / Unity-UI-Extensions / wiki / Home — Bitbucket) you will find several effect samples for altering the UI mesh.
Some even use shaders, although you have to be careful with UI shaders as they are slightly different (so the shader guru’s say)
