I'm looking to create an effect similar to the Photoshop "tilt-shift" blur in Illustrator. All the blur effects in Illustrator I could find only blur the whole element, without any "gradient" so to speak. Is it possible to achieve something like this in Illustrator? If so, will the paths of the object still be accessible?

I know I could potentially duplicate the text and put some alphamask gradient on the blurred element, but the effect is not quite the same.

Here's an image example of the effect, which I put together in Photshop. Photoshop requires to rasterize the image. This makes it kind of annoying to work with. Any help is greatly appreciated!

It is not possible to do it to a text (character).

But we can do it after expand the text.

See my methot in the picture below:

You need to duplicate the layers and apply different levels of blur to them. Then you mask each layer accordingly.
It is not because there is no easy productivity tools that you can't achieve such a thing. I did not touch Illustrator for about a decade but I believe if Inkscape can afford to do such a thing, Illustrator does too.

Just as the image bellow shows, above a specific work on several layers.
And bellow a gradient between a blurred and an un-blurred text. Which one works best for you?
