More than often, there is no reason other than the fun of finding out, hehe. I think rotating the holder and redrawing it might work, albeit I think you'd end up with something that looks like a spiral. I'll definitely look into this when I have a little extra time and let you know. Clear reason? More than often, there is no reason other than the fun of finding out, hehe.

Enter... the fun part. This example is a great jumping off point. I wonder if cross hatching the blur effect would produce a less uniform result. There is obvious directional qualities when your yBlur is greater than your xBlur, so how would you change that? Adjust the holder rotation and double up the draw? or is it a Matrix transform deal? At any rate, I'm curious as to the alternatives of strict 4-way blur affects to achieve more ambiguous shapes, but I don't really have a clear reason why you would need to. :) Exactly!

Now how might you blur it on an angle? say 45 degrees... Looks good!
