In the past year I’ve mentioned the RNFrostedMenu and RNBlurModalView for creating great looking blurred menus and modal views from Ryan Nystrom.
Here’s a nice tutorial from Ryan on creating blurs, and utilizing the new visual effects classes found in iOS 8.
The topics covered in the tutorial include:
– How the typical Gaussian blur algorithm works
– How to use blurs to improve your app’s design
– Taking a screen snapshot and applying a blur
– Adding vibrancy to a blur (with UIVibrancyEffect)
– Creating different blur effect styles (with UIBlurEffect)
You can find the tutorial here.
