Effects

Pixellate

Reduces the picture to large square pixels.

The Pixellate node samples the frame on a coarse grid, so every block becomes one flat colour.

Pixellate

  • One control, Pixel Size
  • Found in the node graph under Post FX → Stylize
Example patch — drag onto the app to load

The image on the right is the example patch itself. Drag and drop it onto the app, or load it with File → Load, to open the full graph. A Caustics field, run through a Gradient Colorizer, at the default 4-pixel blocks.

Inputs and outputs

Pixellate node

PortTypePurpose
InputTextureThe picture to process.
OutputTextureThe result.

Parameters

Pixellate parameters

Opacity, Blend Mode, and Alpha are the standard operator header; see Parameters and Controls.

  • Pixel Size (1–64, default 4) — block size in render pixels.

Every slider has a per-parameter animation bar, so it can be animated, audio driven, or MIDI mapped.

Examples

Retro — Pixel Size 12, then Posterize at 4 levels.

Troubleshooting

Blocks are not square — the render resolution is not a multiple of the block size. Pick a size that divides it.

Mosaic Tiling

Adaptive tiles.

Halftone

Dots instead of squares.

Film Grain

Adds animated grain to the picture.

Pointillize

Rebuilds the picture from dots or from cells of a sprite sheet.
