Bokeh (Depth Blur) Shader for VRChat and Unity

Bokeh Studio is a post-processing shader that simulates a realistic camera depth-of-field inside of Unity with a lot of customisation options and properties to mimic a real camera. 📷

Please note~ this shader is designed to be used in renders, VRChat photographs, and in Unity and may not be suitable for real-time rendering (depending on your use case). If you are interested in extremely performant real-time bokehs, please see my June Shader! 👻

✨What is a "bokeh"?

Basically, if you ever see photographs where the background is blurry (due to the camera focusing on the subject in the foreground) and there's shapes (typically circles) that accentuate the lighting, that's bokeh!

📸What can the bokeh effect do?

• Use any shape and texture you want as the bokeh spots with a texture map, 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 Colours).
• Local shader features to optimise branches, low quality and high quality mode, dithering, culling, and more!

🖼️ What's in the package?

• One shader with five example materials and prefabs
• A custom UI with three languages supported (English, German and Japanese)
• 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

⭐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/resell just the package or code, or take credit for it.

Hey, listen! Need help setting it up, found a bug, or just have a question? Please reach out! You can find my contacts on my website here, on Discord at kleineluka, or through email (lukazoeysong@gmail.com)! 💗

The P. Anarchy model featured in the thumbnail/preview is by Voidcakes and can be bought on their store page here! It doesn't come with the package of course, I just use it as my model and thus it always ends up in previews~ please support them! 💌
