This would be a killer feature. Might be hard to achieve with three different render pipelines (built-in, urp and hdrp. not to mention all the different versions for each). but if this was natively included in the asset, it would be a huge selling point |

Stuff that is a post process feature isn't really Nova's value proposition. I don't speak for them of course, but I suspect they would agree. This Isle of Assets guy has some blur assets for sale, but I learned the hard way his code quality is poor. In my frustration, I rewrote it and made it work for UIBlock2D (which is what one needs to do to get working with Nova). Anyway, hit me up in a couple weeks when I have it polished with Nova's render ordering (currently slammed with a deadline). Perhaps consider asking for core features or support features that only the Nova team can address. Or better yet, small specific features that everyone will find valuable. To make my point, that latter one is relevant to make the Blur effect work -- so for now we have to poll to detect when UIBlocks change. The part when I learn that the "solution" is to poll: |

I'm glad they asked for this. It's an expected UI feature nowadays, and having it as a 3rdparty plugin, like you are offering to provide, is fully acceptable, so long as it's not kludgy. Thanks for making this generous offer, btw! I suggested elsewhere that the NovaUI team create a User Forum (or categories) that are more of an area for us to converse, help each other and share. I think NovaUI should also centrally provide links to user contributions, to make it easy for devs to browse these available plugins and get them, without having to find a specific post (like this one) and then go "hit you up" personally to get your code. I'm guessing that you'd prefer to have your shared work be put somewhere more publicized and easy-to-get. I find it preferable for NovaUI to provide the framework with plugin capacity -- and then let the community write the 3rdparty plugin options (and NovaUI can write these two -- but they'd still just be "options" built on top of NovaUI). This is because "one solution doesn't fit all needs" usually -- so having options and the ability to modify these options, is a big benefit. |

Also regarding Pipeline support -- URP should be the main thrust here. Built-in will soon become legacy, and URP will be the choice of the vast majority of game projects. HDRP is not as good for most games... it's too high end, producing slow framerates, and will be used for realistic trailer/movie productions, and less for games. So not supporting HDRP won't lose much marketshare. And since most projects/devs who are shopping for a good UI system, are doing so for new games --- most won't choose to build their new games on soon-to-be-legacy Built-in Pipeline. URP is the best answer to satisfy the most teams who would be interested in NovaUI -- so support that first (and only that -- for a while, should be fine). |

I don't think anyone here is arguing for SRP over URP -- that's not in contention. I'm only suggesting that it's vital to have If you want a blur effect, I invite you to do what I did and spend $20 to get one of the URP PP blur assets from the asset store, level up your PP level of knowledge, and then add it to your project. You can have that going by next week if it's something you want. |

Drew, thanks for the suggestion. So you are saying that something like this shouldn't be mainstream/integrated into Nova UI? I'm in no hurry for Blur effect, but if it becomes available, I'll likely use it. It seems that you are far more adept at Unity than I. Most of my Unity experience is from using it for 2 yrs full-time, 2009-2011, but most of my time was spent on Game Logic and Networked Multi-player logic (keeping in sync), and Serialization (Save current content and restore)... and Replays. Which means I mostly did C# work, without getting into much nitty gritty of Unity. I have a fair amount of non-Unity HLSL/GSL shader coding (mostly simple stuff), but by far, most of my professional experience is C# (since 2003). Before that, C++, from 1992 to 2003, when I fell in love with C#. Anyhow, that's my background. Been getting back into Unity, part-time, for the past 6 months. |

Upvoted feature! More and more UI are made with blocks with blurred background, I sincerely think that it would be a real argument to use NovaUI for a lot of projects and would extend the long list of features already available in the framework! Do you have any info about progress for this feature? |

Hi,
Was wondering if something like the links attached has been considered for nova?
