Hey guys,
is there a way to create a motion blur effect on iOS devices?
I know that the Pro Version has built in image effects. But first, they arent usable on iOS devices, and second, I dont have the Pro version.
Is there still a possibility? Can the code be ported to iOS or is there another way?
Thanks.
They ARE usable on iOS in Unity Pro (I use them A LOT in Carnage), and in answer to your other question, no, you can’t do them in Unity iOS basic because you don’t have access to a render texture, which is what you need to make image based effects.
The only option you have is doing it on a per object basis by “faking it” (drawing objects in their previous positions at progressively lower Alpha levels). I think there was a “per object motion blur” plugin somewhere on here, but I think that required Pro too.
A lot of them don’t work properly like upside-down texture syndrome 
Could you tell me, how you managed to get it working?
When I was experimenting with the image effects, I realized, that every time I used them on my main camera, in an iOS build, the script always turned itself off. If I manually checked the box for the script ingame, A big purple texture appeared.
The console puts out: “RenderTexture.Create failed: requested size is too large.”
The scene is relatively simple. With multiple SM2 Sprites and a big Plane (Background) with a 1920*640 Texture on it (Disabling it, doesnt change anything).
I usually work with OpenGL 1.1, because somehow I get really bad framerates, if I work with ES 2.0. But even the switch to ES 2.0 didnt change anything regarding the problem.
Would really appreciate your help.
Image effects aren’t supported in 1.1 because 1.1 has no shaders. But I am also interested in seeing how this goes.
Could you please explain it a little more?
I’m trying to apply different image effects on my scene, but still nothing, as long as the Build Platform is iOS. I still get the same “requested size is too large” error. Are you really sure, you made the effect with the standard pro ones, and that you aren’t using a third party solution?
If I simply change the build to Mac Standalone, the Blur works flawlessly.
one of the dodfathers of the unity development team mentioned that image effects get improvemnts for ios in Unity 3.4.
So most of them should work than.
You might want to wait till then.
That would be really awesome. Is there a definite release date out yet?
But don’t they kill the fillrate completely? I guess ipad 2 may handle them, but ipad 1 and iphone 4 should have a hard time, no? At least that’s what my minimal testing showed.
How could you make them playing on iOS. devices??
