Gaussian Blur for Objects – URP

Gaussian Blur for Objects – URP is a customizable Shader Graph package designed to apply a Gaussian-style blur effect directly to individual 3D objects in Unity's Universal Render Pipeline.

Unlike full-screen camera blur effects, this package allows the blur material to be applied only to selected meshes. This makes it suitable for blurred objects, stylized characters, censored models, ghost-like visuals, transitions, focus effects, holograms, and animated object reveals.

The shader includes an adjustable Offset property that controls the strength and spread of the blur. Smaller values create a subtle softening effect, while larger values produce a stronger and more visible blur.

The included OffsetLoop component can automatically animate the blur offset between zero and a selected maximum value, creating a smooth repeating blur and unblur transition.

Main features:

• Gaussian-style blur for individual 3D objects

• Built specifically for the Universal Render Pipeline

• Created with Unity Shader Graph

• Adjustable blur offset

• Smooth animated blur transitions

• Does not require a full-screen post-processing effect

• Blur can be applied only to selected meshes

• Original and blurred material examples

• Ready-to-use example prefabs

• Sample armor model included

• Customizable source texture

• Lightweight C# animation component

• No third-party runtime dependencies

The package includes an original-material prefab and a Gaussian-blurred prefab, allowing users to quickly compare the original object with the processed result.

The included demonstration model is used to present the blur effect on a detailed object containing metallic armor, fabric, leather, and other surface details.
