Gaussian Blur node

[Esben Oxholm]

It would be awesome to have a 'gaussian blur node' in the material graph to soften up bitmaps used for bump-mapping.
Would save quite a few steps in photoshop.

In my humble opinion it would be nice if the current manipulation nodes were working for the bump channel.
And if we can use the psd files directly as a texture, you can play with smart objects in an amount of possibilities.

Some good thoughts here.
