  It's amazing to see language translation like this.

  What surprises me is that Pixel Blender was apparently discontinued. I couldn't find much online, but it seemed to be the easiest way to write your own plugin according to forums, and seems very powerful. Why remove it?

  This is really fun. I like this. I'm going to work it into my production pipeline and I think it'll be the secret like brown butter. It's unique, has some history, and flavor and will be fun when wired up to my streaming rig / audio reactivity.

  I used to use Pixel Bender before I could write stuff in Stage3D instead. Neat stuff!
