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?

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.

At some point we'll have again a similar plugin to write any VFX on Adobe software ! I'm coding one and there might be some possibilities already
