Bokeh Studio Shader (VRChat Photograph Camera Blur Shader)

Henlo all! 📷 Today I am releasing some of my old studies as free, open-source and permissible shaders for you all to use! There are a lot of features as well as prefabs for your convenience. This shader mimics the bokeh effect that camera's produce when accounting for aperture and depth of field. It's very dynamic and allows you to use any shape that you wish as the bokeh shape, and even use multiple shapes at once, as well as various other features like animated shapes, edge cleaning, and more. Because it is an old study, expect bugs!

👻 This shader is designed to be used in renders, VRChat photographs, and in Unity and is not suitable for a real-time post-processing stack. If you are interested in real-time bokehs, please see my June Shader! 👻

🍱 What's in it?

• One shader with five example materials and prefabs
• A custom UI with three languages supported (English, Deutsch, and 日本語)
• Sample images for your bokeh shapes (hearts, stars, hexagons, etc.) as well as a sample spritesheet for random shapes
• Documentation (in the three aforementioned languages) and a permissible license

📹 And the main features? :o

• Use any shape and texture you want as the bokeh spots~ You can even use a spritesheet so each bokeh spot is a random shape!
• Various focal modes (manual depth comparison, automatic at coordinate, and always out-of-focus).
• Easy control over shape size, aperture, up-close depth and luminescence influences, and more~
• Make different bokehs different sizes that animate over time as well as rotate over time.
• Clean the edges around the focused subject to have a clean transition from blur to non-blurred.
• Powerful lighting controls for either the whole screen or just the tapped areas of the screen (tonemap, accentuate, expose, HSV, RGB Colors).
• Local shader features to optimize branches, low quality and high quality mode, dithering, culling, and more!

🧐What is the license?

• You can redistribute it in transformative works both personally and commercially (with attribution).
• You may edit it as a long as you make note of the changes
• You may not simply redistribute the package or code, or take credit for it.
