Reflection problem

[allen hyoga]

Hi,is there a way to make a blur reflection for an object?As far as I known,the shader(including HLSL) node just works on texture,so I can not blur the edge of model.There is sample made by 2Rise below.How to make this kind of shadow ?

Render the model a second time, mirrored because it's a reflection of course, in a RenderTarget. Display that RT with a Simple Blur node and an OverlayRectangle and you can blur your reflection as much as you want. You might have to select NoAlpha from the Texture Shading Options or use a Viewport node in the RT to adjust the background color. But that is just for tweaking.
