In this shader tutorial, we will go over two common image processing techniques: box blur and Gaussian blur. We start by understanding the algorithm for box blur. Then we learn how to create a Gaussian blur by adjusting the weights in the kernel. Finally, we learn how to code both the box blur effect and the Gaussian blur effect, in a GLSL shader.
