About UIFX - Blur Filter

Overview​

What?​

Why?​

Customer Reviews​

April 2025    ★★★★★    makes my project feel next-level 
This blur thingy is my new fave… My menus went from meh to WOW—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 on—now I’m obsessed with tweaking it!!! Totally makes my project feel next-level.  –  LoRaWAN 
April 2024    ★★★★★    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!  –  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.
