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?
IIRC, it was discontinued around the time Adobe switched to a subscription model. Allowing end users to add new functionalities to their programs just didn't make business sense.
This cuts so deep. You just framed a loss I've experienced and haven't found a simple way to express. You defined the trend that destroyed the interesting internet I loved. Thanks.
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.
