Blurring

---

Animo 2.0 provides several nodes you can use to blur images:

• The Blur node blurs its input image in all directions, making it appear out of focus. See The Blur node.

• The Bi Dir Blur node blurs its input image in two directions at 180 degrees to each other; for example, with a horizontal blur the image would be blurred to the east and west. See The Bi Dir Blur node.

• The Dir Blur node blurs its input image in one direction only - for example, to the west only. See The Dir Blur node.

• The Motion Blur node automatically blurs its input image in its direction of motion relative to the camera. See The Motion Blur node.

Below, we show the effect of each type of blur, with the original image composited on top. This should help you to see the difference between these types of blurring:
