BCC VR Blur

Category: BCC VR

Effect Name: BCC VR Blur

The BCC VR Blur filter, part of the BCC VR category, emulates the look of shooting with soft focus or with a lens diffusion filter, generating out of focus effects. This filter was designed from the ground up to operate in VR 360 with multiple edge wrap modes to process pixels that reside along the edge of the 360 seam (non-VR aware filters will generate a hard line across the seam and will not create a convincing look.) The VR Blur filter includes independent controls for the amount of blur along the horizontal and vertical axis, making it easy to emulate fast camera pans.

On-screen control widgets are included in this filter, which makes it easy to set up the effect while maintaining visual focus on the image result in the viewer / comp window.
