Is it possible to do Blur within this effect? #4

krisives commented 5 years ago

One of the things I noticed with the original magic lamp effect was that Blur is not applied to the effect. Looking at the bug report, it's actually you that educated me that it's not possible with the current setup of the Blur plugin.

But, is it possible to add the Blur effect itself into this magic lamp or a forked version of this? I ask because I know it's already doing some render-to-texture. I understand it may be seen as a hack and I'm simply asking for information about how feasible it is and I'm willing to try to do the hacking if you can give me a little guidance.

Thanks again for all your work you do on KDE.

No, it's not.

(a) I'd need to copy some code from the blur effect; (b) This effect would need to perform quadrilateral interpolation, which is a whole different chapter; (c) Doing blur in this effect doesn't make sense.
