Introduction
Hello, for the past 6 hours I was working on creating a Visualiser for Motion Blur similarly to how Unreal Engine does it.This approach does not magically add motion blur like other Triple A games, that is Roblox’s step, I’ve created them a Robust System to work with in detecting what needs to be blurred based on the Client’s Screen.
You can increase the Cell Resolution using the configuration dictionary I’ve nicely introduced into the script.
Configuration Dictionary
local Configuration: any = {
Horizontal_Cells = 16,
Vertical_Cells = 9,
Visualisation_Amplification = 256,
Minimum_Visualiser_Amplification = 512,
Maximum_Visualiser_Amplification = 1024,
Maximum_Visualiser_Length = 128,
}
For the first version of this script, I’m happy to say it’s pretty alrightly optimised. Increasing the cells will get a nicer result however that comes at the expense of lag or at least until I create a feature that interpolates between a hit and a non hit to check if anything is in the middle or focus most cells near the center where it matters.
I’ve gotten this inspiration from Unreal Engine
My Approach
This is what the effect looks like when zooming in.
Here is the same thing but with the cells fully visible with an outline. The blurring will take place in between these cells, if 1 cell is meant to be blurred and one is not, the blur will fade to adjacent cell rather than just be a solid change in the middle.
Another cool thing is the spiral near the character when rotating the camera.
Video Representation of it in Action
UKs Trashy 0.9 Megabit Internet prevented me from uploading it. Someone please take a video of it and send it for others to see or pretend you're watching a revolutionary video about the system I made. Thank you.How it functions
The script functions because the Cell_Dictionary is storing a table of 2 specific Vector3s.{Frame: {Vector3, Vector3}}
Some aspects were done using ChatGPT, I’m not a math guy, if I were to not use AI I would have sat there for 3 days doing trial and error until it worked, ChatGPT got this code working in 1 hour of constant verbal abuse. I know for sure Robots will come after me first when they take over the earth.
Just think of it as a trail, the trail is the difference between the Current and Previous, the camera plays a big role in this.
