Image Effect [Blur Optimized] - Android

Questions & Answers
1

Hi UnityAnswers,

I’ve been working on a mobile game where, when you complete/fail a level I blur the main camera using the built in Blur Optimized script. I then just have a UI Canvas on top of this so it’s readable. It was working fine on the PC when I was testing my project.

I just put it onto my phone (Nexus 5) now, and noticed that the blur doesn’t run. I looked like online and apparently phones may/may not support image effects? If this the case, is there an alternative way I could achieve a gaussian blur that would for sure work on all mobile devices?

Thank you. :slight_smile:

Here’s what it looks like with/without it. As you can see, it’s pretty bad without it. :frowning:

Just a heads up to anyone. I just gave this a try just using the normal Blur script (not Blur Optimized) and it works on mobile. I’m not sure how heavy it is in comparison, but I’m just using it to do a simple blur behind my menu stuff.
