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.
![]()
- One control, Pixel Size
- Found in the node graph under Post FX → Stylize
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
![]()
| Port | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Input | Texture | The picture to process. |
| Output | Texture | The result. |
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.
