About UIFX - Blur Filter

Overview​

What?​

UIFX-BlurFilter is a new visual effect for Unity's UI (uGUI) components that allows visual blurring of UI components.

Why?​

Unity's UI system currently doesn't have an option to blur UI components.

April 2025    β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…    makes my project feel next-level 
This blur thingy is my new fave… My menus went from meh to WOWβ€”like they’re floating in a cloud! The directional blur is so slick… makes my text feel alive. I’m no expert but it was so simple to slap onβ€”now I’m obsessed with tweaking it!!! Totally makes my project feel next-level.  β€“  LoRaWAN 
April 2024    β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…    I'm thoroughly impressed 
Exceptional Support and Effective Asset! I'm thoroughly impressed with the BlurFilter asset and the developer's support. The asset itself integrates seamlessly and enhances the visual quality significantly. I encountered a small issue with version 1.6.0, and the developer's response was swift and very helpful, quickly providing a patched version that resolved the issue. The quick support and the functionality of the asset have made my experience extremely positive. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable blur effect in their projects!  β€“  LordEden94 

Upgradable to UIFX Bundle​

This asset can later be upgraded to the full UIFX Bundle asset at a reduced cost!

After purchasing this asset, the UIFX Bundle asset price will be discounted by the cost of this asset. So if you paid $30 for this asset, and the UIFX Bundle currently costs $100, then you will only be charaged $70 when you want upgrade.

This upgrade discount will be available as long as both assets are still available on the Unity Asset Store - so you don't have to rush to make a decision.

Note that this upgrade discount only applies for purchases made via the Unity Asset Store, and not during a sale event.
