Views

[gamecoder-nz]

I'm having trouble with what views are and how they are used. So my game is a top down 2D RPG game and it has night time. When the player opens the in game menu I want the game to be blurred and the UI on top of it.

So would I need a view to render the tiles, sprites etc of the game with a shader to do night time and the street lights, then another view to blur the game when the game menu is opened and then a third view to render the UI?
