FroyokThis weekend I added motion blur in my engine. Initially I didn't want to have this effect at all. Usually I find it ugly/noisy and makes me a bit sick. There is one game however where I actually like it: Syndicate (2012) !
In this game, the effect is only based on the camera motion, and only when moving very fast. So it triggers only in specific conditions, and doesn't impact gameplay much.
nnenovI generate mips and use textureGrad with anisotropy to make it a non-uniform blur, needing only 7 taps per pixel.
Final result is really good, and cost 0.4ms (downsample, mip, effect, blit back up).

Ho yeah, forgot to mention: to keep it simple to integrate I run it after the depth of field, which avoid blur discontinuities at mesh edges.
This is wrong, but looks okay in motion.

LR@froyok reminds me how i once did motion blur and depth of field in a single effect (monte carlo sampling kernel changes shape)
