imgui blur effect

🪁 Simple ImGui DirectX9 Blur Effect Example Project.

📖 Overview of the project

Simple Project with Blur effect to external overlay made using DirectX9, ImGui.

This project helps to add blur to the image I use in imgui, it can be used with more components, not just images. If you want it for directx11 a different solution is available here: https://github.com/3r4y/ImGuiGaussianBlur

This project was made by making additions on the project I shared before.

🛠 Used librairies :

• DirectX
• ImGui

🧪 How do use this project ?

• clone the project.
• Add the imgui files to your project.
• If you are getting compile error, include DirectX SDK in your project.
• include these files in your project : bBlur.hpp,blur.hpp,blur.cpp and blur_binary.h. example :

import bBlur.hpp.

#include "bBlur.hpp"

auto draw = ImGui::GetWindowDrawList();
bBlur->blur_background(draw, DirectX9Interface::pDevice);//	IDirect3DDevice9Ex* pDevice

Open your project setting --> Navigate to VC++ Directories --> On the right, select Includepaths --> A new window will open, that lets you new include paths. Add a new include path by hitting the New Row button in the top right --> Now you will have to navigate to your DirectX SDK installation directory and select the Include folder.
