"Certain parts" ?
If I understand that right you should try DOF or the texture blur in you mat-editor.

or "rendering>effects>add effect"...

by certain parts you mean "a given object"?if so you have to give each object a channel by right clicking>properties... g-buffer object channel: "

take a look in the help files about g-buffer and effects....
hope that helps

just one side blurred and other normal is that you want?no matter if the scene has deph?
you could do this in post-production.. or photoshop if it's a still image
render the image, duplicate the layer apply blur, add a msk and use the gradient tool...

Do you mean like in this attached pic?

What i did in that pic was:
- create a plane facing the camera
- give the plane an object id of 1
- give the plane 100% transparancy
- add a blur render effect to object id 1

If you want the line in the middle to be sharp you'll need to do it in post though...

Hope that helps :beer:
