  “Pull to center” radial blur?

  Posted by David Gruwier on September 12, 2019 at 12:33 pm

  I remember seeing a post asking about the same thing a long while ago, but that was several years ago, and I’m hoping there might be news on this front.

  Does anyone know of a “pull towards center” version of radial blur, or a simple technique to achieving the same thing?
  Essentially the opposite of this: https://i.stack.imgur.com/A7yi8.jpg

  I trying to create a Star Wars style hologram beam: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/a/a5/Invisible_Hand_holograph.png/revision/latest?cb=20130117054823
  The way I’ve done it now is with an expression that duplicates the layer like 100 times, scaling them down and spacing them out evenly between the original position and a null position. It’s really messy and slow, not a good solution.

  Any ideas?

  CC Light Rays does exactly this. You’ll just need to play with it a bit to get the rays going the right direction. If you set the shape to Square, you can choose the direction of the light.
