Pixelate

Description
Lowers the resolution of the layer, making it appear either pixelated or blurry.

The new resolution can be set to a custom width and height, or as a multiple of the layer's existing resolution.


Note that this does not increase performance as it is still rendering the entire image and then downsampling.

Hey, can you add a opacity mask?

Hi OMGparticles, we noticed this effect currently doesn't work on Android/OpenGL because the pixel shader needs an explicit cast or swizzling in two places (v_PixelSize.xy instead of v_PixelSize).

We will add a compatibility replacement from our end for the conversion process, but I wanted to let you know just in case you wanted to update it as well.

Thanks Bio, should be fixed now.

Hey, I think this effect doesn't work anymore with the point filter option enabled, I noticed this on the beta but also checked the current public build. The image gets cropped or scaled oddly.

The issue seems to come from texCoord00 = round(texCoord00 * g_Texture0Resolution.xy) * g_TexelSize + g_TexelSize * 0.5;

g_TexelSize is for the screen resolution, so replacing it with 1.0/g_Texture0Resolution.xy seems to fix it. (maybe you could just turn v_PixelSize into a vec4 to move the division into the vertex shader)

Assets can only be used in the beta version of Wallpaper Engine for now, as mentioned here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/431960/discussions/2/2261313417709293714/

To use it, you first open the wallpaper editor and go to add an effect to a layer. When the window pops up to choose an effect, you click the Workshop button in the bottom left. Find this effect in there and subscribe to it. Then go back to the effect picker and it should be in the list of effects near the top. Then you just use it like you would any other effect.
