Procedural Texture Blurring

Utilize a special set of nodes to procedurally blur textures in Cycles! This handy trick will completely change how you use Blender. This video is the first of CG Cookie Blender tips that will appear on our YouTube channel every week.
Thanks for this – there’s a similar way to do the same thing that IMHO is more effective, especially on image textures with UV coordinates – I believe it’s a method that was originally demonstrated by Bartek Skorupa in 2014 – here’s a link to a talk he gave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAUmLcXhUj0&feature=youtu.be&t=23m58s – and here’s a screengrab of my node setup
Alternatively, you can just multiply your coordinates by the noise….even simpler…
Could really use that screengrab right now, but it seems to not be in your comment. ;)
seems like I can’t put a screengrab into this post – here’s a dropbox link :)
