OpenGL Blur effect...

haha yeah, but would look cool

Although at the moment i hope no one would get an epileptic fit

Im looking in to rendering it on to a texture, and adding water drops, and possibly a tunnel behind it.. depending on it does'nt look to crappy.

Heres another one,

I've added a tunnel in the background (although you can't really tell in the screenshot)... It does'nt look so empty now

That looks cool, I think it'd make an interesting screensaver.

I will probably add music at some point too, if i can get it working that is

PS. at the moment moving the mouse or keyboard input doesnt come out of the screensaver, but the esc key does.

Heh, coolness! Looks really great in real-time. This'll stay as my screensaver for awhile.

The sceenshots really aren't doing it any justice.

Nice work!

Runs rather laggy on my machine. Barton 3200+, 9600 pro, 1,2gb ram

Is it just too old or have I forgot to set some settings?

Edit: But it looks nice!

Thanks for all the comments

Its probably the screensaver, by default it uses multisample with 1 buffer and 4 samples also it renders the blur 30+ times each render.

I have updated it, so now you can turn off multisample in the config panel, and i have also added music

(to turn off music just delete/rename the ogg file.

I will add some options to change the amount of renders tonight when i get back to help speed things up
